What Legacy EQ does
The main display draws the EQ curve as a graph that can be edited directly: a band is moved by dragging its icon to set frequency and gain, and its Q is changed with a two-finger drag on the mouse wheel. Each of the five bands can be set to one of six shapes, including bell and low and high shelf, and gain sits within a range of -15 dB to 15 dB. The developer describes the main display as the place where a mix is shaped visually, with the display speed adjustable to suit the signal.
The high-precision RTA analyzer on the main display switches between pre-EQ and post-EQ views, so the spectrum can be compared before and after processing. Formats are VST3, VST2, AU and AAX, and the plugin runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with Cubase named by the developer as a host.
Key features
- Five parametric bands. The EQ has five parametric bands, and each band has its own frequency, gain and Q controls.
- Six selectable band shapes. Each band can be set to one of six shapes, including bell and low and high shelf filters, and the notch shape helps find and remove unwanted tones.
- Gain range and Q. Gain for each band is set within -15 dB to 15 dB, and the Q factor runs from wide to narrow to control how much of the spectrum a band affects.
- Steeper filter slopes. Two of the filter bands have steeper slopes than the other shapes.
- Editable main display. Bands are edited on the main graph: drag the icon to set frequency and gain, and use a two-finger mouse-wheel drag to change Q.
- Real-time analyzer. The high-precision RTA analyzer on the main display can be switched between pre-EQ and post-EQ to compare the spectrum before and after processing.
Use cases
- Boosting lows and cutting highs. The shelf shapes and gain range let a band lift low frequencies or reduce high ones across a track or a mix bus.
- Notching problem frequencies. The notch shape and the notch search help locate a resonance or unwanted tone and remove it with a narrow Q.
Compatibility
The plugin is listed as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows, macOS and Linux, and Cubase is named by the developer as a host.
Who it is for
The plugin suits mix engineers who want a visual parametric EQ with a fast analyzer, and producers who need precise band shapes to balance tracks against each other.
