Crave Transient EQ is three powerful equalizers in one plugin that allow you to dynamically equalize transient and stationary sound components in parallel.
The Power of Three E
Crave Transient EQ is three powerful equalizers in a single plugin that allow you to dynamically equalize transient and stationary components of your audio in parallel.
Transient and Stationary EQ
Using a proprietary algorithm developed in-house, the sound is precisely separated into transient and stationary components, which can be controlled independently using the T/S knob for each band. Much more detailed details are highlighted than just the beginning of a drum sound. For example, in a vocal track, the stationary signal will contain all the smooth musical elements, while the transient signal will contain all the abrupt, rapidly changing non-harmonic elements.
Dynamic EQ
There are four types of dynamic processing: downward compression, upward compression, downward extension, and upward extension. They effectively boost or attenuate quiet or loud parts of the signal. We’ve made this process easier to understand by adding
Loud and Quiet buttons. Loud means the band will turn on when the signal exceeds the threshold. Quiet means the band will turn on when the signal falls below the threshold. So, to boost only the quiet parts of an audio recording, add a regular EQ gain, press Q, adjust the threshold, and you’re done!
Parallel EQ
Parallel filters interact much less than their cascaded counterparts, resulting in more transparent dynamics. The M/S and L/R controls allow you to precisely adjust the position of the parallel filters in the stereo field. Our filter technology is specifically designed to handle rapidly changing parameters and signals, providing transparent dynamics and transient processing.
High-Resolution Spectrogram
The spectrogram allows you to distinguish low frequencies while maintaining precise temporal resolution at high frequencies (even at maximum settings). Transient dynamics are highlighted in yellow to easily distinguish them from stationary content. To fully enjoy the spectrogram, open the Analyzer menu and select the largest Size.
