Waves Audio has introduced the H-EQ Hybrid Equalizer, a powerful plugin for mixing and mastering, offering vintage and modern EQ inspired by the finest British and American consoles.
Included are seven different filter types per band: US Vintage, UK Vintage 1, UK Vintage 2, US Modern, UK Modern, Digital 1 and Digital 2, in addition to a newly-developed, one-of-a-kind asymmetrical bell filter.
An intuitive keyboard graphic lets users choose frequencies by clicking on notes, and an exclusive MS Mode allows users to apply different EQ to Mid and Side content.
Also featured is a flexible real-time frequency spectrum analyzer with multiple display options.
Waves H-EQ is available at a U.S. MSRP of Native $200/TDM $300. Special intro price is Native $99/TDM $149. It is also available at no additional charge to owners of Waves Mercury with current Waves Update Plan coverage.
