8-band linear phase equalizer
MEqualizerLinearPhase is an 8-band linear phase equalizer designed for mastering, however due to its very high speed it is suitable for mixing too. It is a surgical tool for mastering - it has a clear sound with minimal distortion (measured below -160dB). It doesn't smear transients or create mud, nor does it alter the imaging and depth information of the original sound. It is especially useful to enhance or correct difficult material like vocal or instrumental soloists and groups, orchestral recordings and complex mixes, without introducing any unwanted coloring.
Features :
- 8 band parametric linear phase equalizer with 7 types of filters - peak, low-shelf, high-shelf, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch.
- 3 equalization algorithms with (approximately) the same frequency response - true bidirectional filtering algorithm, FFT algorithm and standard non-linear phase equalization. - Bidirectional filtering provides maximal accuracy and minimal noise ratio. As a supplement MEqualizerLinearPhase implements a standard equalization and FFT algorithm adopted in most cheap linear phase equalizers. This way you check all of the methods and find the best one for particular case.
- Adjustable dry/wet mix - what is impossible for common equalizers due to phase alteration is not impossible for MEqualizerLinearPhase.
- Advanced and easy to use user interface - You can easily change all values and gain maximal accuracy using Ctrl shortcuts and textual editing. Smooth visualisation of resulting frequency response with almost unlimited zooming. All parameters are adjustable from the graph with very advanced controls, integrated help using F1 or "?" buttons, etc.
- Q in range 0.05 to 10 with protection against pops and crackles.
- Adjustable upsampling 1x-4x for an even more accurate response and ability to perform processing in 192kHz and higher sampling rates.
- 64-bit processing and unlimited sampling rate, recommended maximum is 384kHz.
- Global preset management - using a title button you can save your settings, which are shared on the computer, so you can easily access them in another songs.
- Optimized for SSE and SSE2 processors.
- Full automation - not recommended for the FFT mode.

Version 5.01 |
MacOS X Intel |
(AU, VST) |
May 22, 2011 |
MEqualizerLinearPhase 5.01 compatibility update changes
* Surround is now off by default, because it causes problems with some hosts (known are FL Studio and Studio One). If you use surround processing, please enable "Activate surround" in the plugin settings, it will enable all plugins at once.
* Plugins can now access additional volumes on Mac OS X.
* Band editor in equalizers doesn't close when clicking on a band type any more and shows filter steepness.
* Fix: Plugins could crash in AU when requested mono to stereo configuration.
* Fix: Styles are now moved to user data folder, because some computers have permission problem with all-users directory.
* Fix: MFilter caused massive gain in parallel mode in some special circumstances.
* Fix: Analyzer in equalizers didn't show correct spectrum if activated after upsampling change.
* Fix: MMultiBandConvolution didn't remember custom paths correctly on Mac OS X.
MEqualizerLinearPhase 5.00 changes
* Dual user interfaces - most commercial plugins now contain 2 interfaces, a simple default one with several predefined modes, but just a few controls, and an advanced one. This makes the plugins not only extremely versatile, but also quick and easy-to-use.
* Unique new analysis engine for MAnalyzer and all equalizers - new analysis engine is faster, more accurate and provides a whole new range of unique features, such as micro-sonograms, full sonograms, super-resolution (providing high resolution for low frequencies keeping speed for the high frequencies), prefilters (for loudness curves) or deharmonization (for easier fundamental frequencies analysis).
* Plugins are now categorized under VST and VST3 - with more than 55 plugins it started to be hard to find the plugin you need, therefore they are now categorized by purpose to Dynamics, EQs etc. With VST3 they also fit the standardized structure in your host (if it supports it).
* Added next/previous preset buttons.
* Added A/B switch to swap between previous two A-H presets.
* Added reset and collapsible band editor for equalizers.
* Added visual areas for equalizers.
* Added autolisten feature to parametric equalizers.
* Added 0% & 100% modes for global dry/wet for all multiband plugins.
* Increased accuracy when dragging Q in equalizers.
* Added "use first parameter's range" mode for modulators and multiparameters.
* Added a few shortcuts to control zooming in graph editors.
* Added global surround switch useful to make the plugins more compatible with some hosts.
* Added resizing arrow for resizable windows.
* Added smooth 2 envelope point mode.
* Upsampling range extended to 16x.
* Multiband peakmeters can now show different channels in surround.
* Optimized preset and settings storage.
* Preset exchange is now enabled by default, can be disabled in Settings.
* Band enable buttons have been removed for equalizers, instead the icon is clickable.
* Added single-pole (6dB/oct) lowpass & highpass filters for equalizers.
* Fix: Resizing windows with splitters changed ratio of the splitters.
* Fix: Resizable windows were sometimes showing arrow cursor over a position, where the window couldn't be resized.
* Fix: Demoversions with sidechain were crashing occasionally.
* Fix: Plugins with sidechain were occasionally crashing on Mac AU.
* Fix: A Windows message was poping when trying to access an unavailable drive.
* Fix: Upsampling latency wasn't reported correctly.
* Fix: Improved automation support with Ableton Live.
* Fix: Plugins didn't store bypass state.
* Fix: Multiparameters in switch mode were showing inverted state.
* Fix: Alt+Click in a graph editor caused maximum zoom, which is now disabled.
* Fix: Units in zoomed mode were sometimes showing invalid grid lines.
* Fix: Temp gain wasn't updated when automated/modulated.
