Hey Patrons!I fixed the demo, the bug that made the frequency knob go to 20Hz at times, and adjusted some minor GUI annoyances. That's it, keep on with whatever you were doing! =)
This plugin has been requested ever since I released Talc.Meet BAND. It’s like Talc, but for all frequencies.
Most EQ boosts can create new problems.
You push presence. It gets sharp.You add air. It gets brittle.You boost low end. It turns muddy.
Band approaches this differently.
Instead of boosting everything inside a selected band, Band first removes the parts of the signal that would cause problems at that exact frequency. What remains is then boosted.
You are not boosting harshness.You are not boosting unstable peaks.You are boosting what survives the cleanup.
Once you start working this way, going back to traditional EQ boosting feels… primitive.
Band uses phase cancellation to remove problematic peaks and unstable energy in the selected band. When you cancel those elements out, what remains is the more stable and musically useful content.
That is also why the Inverse button behaves the way it does.
Activate Inverse and you flip the phase relationship. Instead of cancelling the problematic content, you reinforce it. You boost what would otherwise be removed.
It is both a monitoring tool and a creative trick.
If you like pushing bands harder than you “should”, this is where it gets interesting.
Early adopters will probably figure out a few tricks before everyone else does.
Controls
Gain-6 dB to +6 dB attenuation / boost.
LM – Loudness MatchCompensates for level differences so you judge tone instead of volume.
INV – InverseFlips the phase relationship.Lets you hear what is being removed.Pull Gain negative and use INV to boost only the highest peaks in that band.
FREQSelect the target frequency.
WIDTHQ control.Only affects processing when Gain is positive.Does not alter behavior when attenuating.
DeltaListen to what is being removed.
BypassCompare processed vs original.
