Product Detail
A high - quality EQ is a must - have for any audio mix. The choice of EQ depends on your artistic vision, but quality and flexibility are always key. Our Sonnox Oxford EQ, a top - notch plugin, offers four distinct EQ types, from surgical precision to musical warmth. It has a proven track record in mixing chart - topping hits, blockbuster films, and live shows. This plugin traces its roots to the original EQ section of the renowned Sony OXF - R3 digital console. It combines sonic transparency with a simple, interactive interface, enabling you to make quick, confident, and great - sounding mix decisions. Key features include a 5 - band parametric EQ with variable - slope HP/LP filters, four unique EQ types (Clinical like SSL4000 E series, tight 'cut' for problem frequencies, classic like Neve and SSL G series, and wide curves for mastering), an automatable A/B compare button for toggling EQ settings, and ultra - low noise and distortion. System requirements cover MacOS 10.7 Lion - 12 Monterey (Intel only), Windows 7 and above, a free iLok account with iLok License Manager, and support for iLok Cloud and iLok USB licensing. Each license includes two activations. Plugin formats are Native (AAX Native, AU, VST2, VST3, RTAS) and HD/HDX (all native formats + AAX DSP, TDM).
Using the Sonnox Oxford EQ is a breeze. First, understand the four different EQ types available. If you need to precisely target a problem frequency, use the 'tight cut' option. For a classic sound similar to well - known consoles, choose the classic EQ type. The clinical EQ is great for a more surgical approach. When you're mastering, the wide and gentle curves are your best bet. To use the A/B compare button, simply click it to switch between different EQ settings and see which one works better for your mix. As for system requirements, make sure your Mac or Windows computer meets the specified versions. Also, sign up for a free iLok account and install the iLok License Manager. When it comes to licensing, you can use either iLok Cloud or iLok USB. Just remember that each license allows for two activations. To keep your plugin in top shape, regularly check for software updates. And if you're having any issues, check the official Sonnox support channels for help.
