Dynamic EQ

Nova GE

Tokyo Dawn Labs

Where to get itAvailable from Tokyo Dawn Labstokyodawn.net

Nova GE is a parallel dynamic equalizer that combines the familiar layout of a parametric EQ with flexible dynamics processing capabilities. It features six independent dynamic EQ bands plus a wide-band processor, enabling everything from transparent parametric equalization and dynamic EQ to multi-band compression/expansion and wideband dynamics.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Six dynamic EQ bands with independent compression, expansion, and gating per band
02Parallel signal flow minimizing side-effects from nonlinear dynamics processing
03Frequency range 10 Hz to 40 kHz with continuously variable Q and gain (±12 dB)
04Musical and Surgical curve modes for different dynamic behavior (Musical maintains traditional parallel EQ feel; Surgical maintains constant Q and static corner frequency)
05W-Band (wide-band) path for frequency-selective compression/expansion outside active EQ bands
06Sidechain unlinking per band and cross-sidechain processing modes (Sum/Diff, Left/Right)
07Five processing quality levels (Eco, Precise, Insane, Precise+, Insane+) with anti-aliasing optimization
08Lookahead (½ millisecond) and auto-release automatism to reduce distortion and over-compression

Things to Try

  • 01Use the 'LF density' preset as a starting point for dynamic EQ: it demonstrates how to apply compression to a specific frequency band below threshold to correct boxy low-end sounds
  • 02Try the '6 Band Dyn' preset for multi-band compression: bands are preconfigured with FREQ and Q values that fully cover the input bandwidth, approximating traditional crossover-based multi-band behavior
  • 03Combine wideband compression with band-selective boosts (e.g., boost Band III and Band V with additional boost in Band IV set to Sticky mode to ignore W-Band dynamics) for high density while preserving musical balance
  • 04Enable the Wideband Dyn preset and exclude specific bands from wideband compression (e.g., disable low frequencies for maximum impact or create a dynamic 'smile' curve by excluding both high and low frequencies)

Fixate:Midrange

Newfangled Audio

Fixate:Midrange is a dynamic spectral balancer specifically engineered for midrange correction. It intelligently addresses five common midrange problems—mud, thinness, honk, nasality, and harshness—by applying signal-dependent processing that reacts only when and where problems actually occur, leaving well-balanced audio untouched. Beyond targeted resonance control, it includes a spectral balance section that matches your audio to a learned reference and a Profile system for storing preferred settings across sessions.

Big Beautiful Door 2

Boz Digital Labs

Big Beautiful Door 2 is a gate plugin that redefines dynamics processing by combining surgical gating with tonal shaping. It allows you to independently EQ the opened and closed gate positions for precise control, enabling applications from noise gating and drum de-bleeding to creative frequency shaping. This isn't a traditional gate—it's a paradigm shift in how you approach dynamics and tone.

bloom

Oeksound

bloom is an adaptive tone shaper that analyzes incoming signals and applies dynamic, context-aware corrections to perceived tonal balance. It combines broad-stroke EQ functionality with frequency-dependent compression, allowing for intuitive tonal adjustments—from adding warmth and clarity to controlling resonances—while maintaining natural sound character even during radical changes.
