In the world of music production, where every sound matters, the equalizer is a key tool. But sometimes, digital precision can distract from the main thing – the sound itself. The PQ33 plugin from J1000 is created specifically for those who value an intuitive approach and musical results.
Based on the ideas of the classic hardware device Portico 5033, PQ33 is a mixing equalizer, designed with an emphasis on efficiency and convenience. No complex graphs or unnecessary animations – just clean, manageable sound. The philosophy of PQ33 lies in minimizing distractions, allowing you to fully focus on listening and intuitively shaping the timbre.
PQ33 Features: Equalizer for Mix
PQ33 is an effective, minimal-phase equalizer with seven filters:
- Three parametric bands (LMF, MF, HMF): With overlapping ranges and identical gain and Q controls. For working with the main frequencies of instruments or voice.
- Two shelving filters (LF, HF): For soft boosting or cutting the entire low or high frequency range. Add warmth or “air”.
- Cut filters (HPF, LPF): High-pass (12 dB/oct) and low-pass (6, 12, 24 dB/oct). Indispensable for cleaning up the mix.
