Product description
gEQ12 is a 12 band stereo/MS graphic equalizer with accurate spectrum analyzer and minimum/linear phase modes.
Today's mixing and mastering processes require a full featured but easy to use equalizer which can accurately shape the tone of a track , bus or master track.
gEQ12 provides all necessary tools including perceptual loudness matching in one package paired with some unique features.
The GUI of gEQ12 is fully resizeable and scalable.
Extended view
The spectrum/filter view can be enlarged and enriched with a spectrogram, a frequency tracker and several EQ cheat sheets.
Spectrogram
The spectrogram provides a different visual representation of the audio spectrum compared to classical spectrum curve. X and y axis represent time and frequency of the signal, the different colours the signal strength.
Meters
The main meters of gEQ12 show peak/RMS/EBU and VU loudness levels.
Plugin modes
The filter quality can be increased by using oversampling. This ensures "analog" filter magnitude/phase response near Nyquist frequency. On top of it gEQ12 can operate in several minimum or linear phase modes, which can lower CPU usage and makes filter phase response linear. In addition the phase of the outgoing signal can be inverted.
Filter parameter
gEQ12 consists of 12 stereo filter in series. Each filter can be configured individually by setting type, stereo placement (all, left, right, mid and side), slope, frequency, gain and q-factor.
gEQ12 offers 16 filter types, analogue/digital design, zero delay IIR. Additionally gEQ12 provides a flat tilt filter (zero delay).
Perceptual Loudness Matching (AB-LM Lite)
AB-LM Lite is a perceptual A/B loudness matching algorithm to help you avoid the pitfall of 'louder is better', so you can evaluate the impact of the plugin on your incoming and outgoing audio signal at equal loudness.
When you engage AB-LM Lite, the algorithm analyzes the incoming signal and compares it to the outgoing signal via its RMS values and applies an automatic gain adjustment so you can focus on the plugin settings and what they are actually doing to your audio, without being distracted by loudness differences.
For the more advanced features please refer to ABLM.

Important notes:
Before downloading and installing please check the system requirements!
Demo version versus Registered version:
In demo mode (without registering) the plugin mutes audio every 90 seconds for a short period. This could be circumvented by clicking on the "TBProAudio" logo within 90 seconds.
Activation:
After installation product is in demo mode and needs to be activated. Please follow the steps described in the manual or here.
Purchase:
