Very good Plug In Eq with Higher Freq Band (over 20khz)

[otobianki74]

maag eq4 has a nice air band which ranges from 2.5k all the way up to 40k. I personally love it.

I mean over 20khz?


Thanks.

just out of curiosity: why do you need that?

Supposedly, although you cannot hear past 20k, the harmonics past it can change the overtones of instruments.

Interesting topic, also out of curiosity:
It changes the overtones below 20 KHz? Is there some folding back down to the audible frequency range?

Well, yes, but not in an audible manner.

Human ears can NOT distinguish different timbres above HALF of the hearing range. That means that above 8-9 kHz or so, everything sounds as a sine.

Actually not many people can hear up to 20k! That's at the threshold of upper human hearing, I dare say the average person that has been exposed to loud concerts and played in bands would have trouble hearing 13-16k frequencies, above that we percieve the sound as a sheen(polish) or fairydust, that can sheen frequency can extend to about 22-24k, this is great for mastering purposes but the eq needs to be very tranparent in the way it boosts these frequencies.

As far as I know the brainworx "hybrid" goes up to 26kHz and the "digital" up to 22kHz. And yes the maag - never heard it though.

Is that when you have an EQ that goes so High the filters create a nice open EFFX when you boost that hi freqs, and can give u a nice feel or Air.

That was a tip I got from AMIEL.

I second the Fabfilter Pro Q. It's my new go to EQ plugin!

DDMF 6144 goes up to 25k

DDMF: VST plugins, AU plugins, audio software

I always end up turning the Maag's air band down after listening to mixes on dumpy speakers/cars. I like it, but its easy to over do..

[OliverV]

There's a 27k band on the UAD Massive Passive.

[psycho_monkey]

It's more about the shelf.

GML EQ goes up to 26k - but the shelf extends way lower.

You don't state DAW so I don't know if this is any use for you - it's pro tools only.

In that case, the Massenberg is the one to try first. AAX DSP as well as TDM/Native, very smooth transparent EQ.

I wouldn't necessarily say identical to the hardware...but it's good.

I've also heard good things about the Fabfilter, I know people who swear by them.

[Resonator]

Fabfilter Pro-Q is superb.

If anyone would like a Fabfilter friend 10% discount code,pm me your email and i'll send one.

+1 for MAAG.

Also, not being an EQ but Sonnox Inflator adds 2'dn and 3'rd harmonics.
