What Oxford EQ does
The plugin is organized around a five-band parametric section with variable-slope filters on both ends of the spectrum. Four distinct EQ types can be chosen, one described by the developer as clinical and modeled on the SSL 4000 E series, another as classic and similar to Neve and SSL G series curves, and a tighter cut mode for removing problem frequencies. Wide, gentle curves are offered for mastering, and an automatable A/B compare button toggles between two EQ settings. Oxford EQ is available as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and it runs on Apple Silicon. Pro Tools is the host the developer names.
Key features
- Five parametric bands. Each of the five bands is a parametric filter, and the high-pass and low-pass filters use variable slopes.
- Four EQ types. The four types differ in curve character, from clinical to classic, with a tighter cut mode and wide gentle curves for mastering.
- A/B compare. An automatable A/B button toggles between two EQ settings so a change can be checked quickly.
- Noise and distortion. The developer lists ultra-low noise and distortion as design goals of the processing.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches for crack, keygen and serial key files for Oxford EQ are common, and the release circulates in these forms.
