Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ

Tired of using traditional static EQ to control boomy or harsh frequencies and compromising the original recording? Fed up with writing automation that wastes time and sounds unnatural? Maybe multiband compressors left you confused. Well, the Oxford Dynamic EQ is your solution! It provides just the right amount of processing when needed and is quick to set up. With 5 bands of the ultra - musical Type - 3 EQ curve that can overlap, it offers unparalleled control and Sonnox's signature transparency for single sources, instrument groups, and 2 - bus. This Dynamic EQ has unique features. Onset (transient) detection can engage the effect, very handy for drums and percussion. Mid - side processing can enhance vocals without affecting side - channel balance or open up a mix by focusing low - end energy in the center. Its highly - tweakable space - carving capabilities are a great addition to your mixing toolkit. Features include 5 bands of the Oxford Type - 3 EQ curve with proportional - Q (a very musical curve), seamless overlapping of bands without static phase distortion or low - frequency artifacts, flexible per - band channel processing and detection, clear GUI for simplified workflows, and flexible compression and expansion options, along with precise transient processing through onset detection or level threshold.

Using the Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ is easy. First, set up the 5 bands according to your audio source needs. You can overlap the bands for better control. To engage the effect, you can either set a level threshold or use the onset detection, especially useful for drums and percussion. For vocals, try the mid - side processing to enhance them without disturbing the side - channel balance. When using the flexible per - band controls, experiment with different channels like mono, stereo, mid, or side. Be careful not to over - process, as it might affect the natural sound of your audio. To maintain this tool, keep it updated to the latest version to ensure optimal performance. And remember, take your time to explore all its features to get the best out of your mixing.
