Today, Musik Hack rolls out a major update to SweetEQ with new features that make the workflow extremely more versatile, while keeping the ease and effortlessness of the plugin.
The update provides new Bandpass Filter Modes allowing to limit the range where SweetEQ does its processing without cutting the highs or lows out completely, as well as a hybrid feature for cutting and blending without undoing highs and low cuts.
New Clip Out Modes include soft clip, hard clip, and clip off for more flexibility. Continue to use soft clip to add slight edge to bass or on less aggressive material, use hard clip for brightness, or turn it off if you have a specific mix workflow.
Mid-Side Mix Mode can be accessed by clicking “stereo mix” to toggle between stereo and mid/side. This allows you to blend in the processed signal to either the mono center or the side signal for soundstage effects or special cases.
Stereo Imaging: If the plugin instance is mono->stereo and you select mid/side mode, it creates a phase-coherent (mono-safe) stereo image when lifting the “side” knob. In this mode, “side” defaults to zero.
All of this processing is done in parallel, allowing you to tweak every knob, button, and slider without worrying about phasing issues, mono problems, or other lame gotchas.
