Where to get itAvailable from Tokyo Dawn Labstokyodawn.net

SlickEQ Mastering is a stereophonic mastering equalizer from Tokyo Dawn Labs designed for precision tone and stereo image control. It combines six parametric filter bands with a sophisticated meta-filter, high-pass/low-pass filters, and low-frequency monoization, all operating in a parallel EQ configuration. Its advanced phase compensation network and multirate processing scheme ensure accurate stereo manipulation without blurred imaging or phase distortion artifacts.

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

Key Features

01Six parametric bands with bell and shelving shapes and gain-dependent Q control
02Meta-filter with Brightness, Hardness, and EL Curve (Equal Loudness) modes
03High-pass and low-pass filters with slopes of 6, 12, 18, and 24 dB/oct
04LF Mono filter (low-frequency monoization) with adjustable cutoff frequency
05Per-band stereo width and stereo balance controls with phase compensation
06LF and HF Exciters producing symmetrical and asymmetrical distortion
07Four processing quality modes (Eco, Live, Precise, Insane) with optional fixed latency compensation

Things to Try

  • 01Apply the Match Reference operation to compare and approximate the input spectrum to a reference curve (pink noise or external file)
  • 02Enable the LF Mono filter and adjust its cutoff frequency to gradually reduce stereo width toward low frequencies
  • 03Use the EL Curve meta-filter to compensate for differences in mixing levels, as described in the manual regarding equal loudness contours
