Developer’s Description

By Kuassa
Control the frequencies of sound for many sources.
BasiQ is an acronym for Baxandall Simulation Equalizer, a free 3-band equalizer plug-in with photorealistic graphics from Kuassa, Inc. As the name implies, the engine are modeled after a design of classic baxandall equalizer well known for its smooth shelves and natural-sounding responses, similar to the tone control on a hi-fi systems. The simple controls allow you to shape the frequency from many sources to your needs, from opening up an air on guitar leads, adding a gentle shimmer on vocals, giving extra 'oomph' on your synth baselines, or even getting more presence from your masters. This straightforward equalizer are well-suited for mixing or mastering purpose although the neutral characteristic of BasiQ are more suitable as a 'sweetening' device or giving some transparent 'tilt' to your mix rather than a surgical device.
