Is there an EQ Similar to Fruity Parametric 2

I saw a preview of this EQ and how it lights up to the frequencies and not an actual analyzer. I think this is very useful. Is there anything like it out there?

I'd say EQuality is much more similar in design. You can see the frequencies with the analyzer and the controls are pretty much all the same. I used to use the fruity parametric eq all the time.

ReaEQ (part of the free reaplugs bundle) with unlimited bands


melda MEqualizer (also free)




The Melda EQ is a very powerful tool with more uncommon features:

AutoListen ON/OFF: As soon as you grab band you'll hear this band only. As soon as you release the mousebutton it switches back to normal listen.

Harmonics per band: Set up to 10 harmonics per band.

Fully customizable (in color and Size) GUI

Set up 4 different EQ settings (A-D) and morph between them with an X/Y pad.


Some of the settings won't stay in memory in the free version tho but IMO thats ok.

peace

No, it's not wat I am looking for, look how Fruity parametric eq visualizes the spectrum
Fruity Parametric EQ 2 - Effect Plugin

Can't find one EQ with that type of analyzer. FL studio will soon surpass alot of daws, all it's features are so cutting edge, it's portamento glide feature in the midi, just really cool stuff. That Spectral analyzer is really dope too!

Lol, Pro-q makes this look like a toy, sorry.

But you are right, not what you are looking for. From memory adobe and waves offer this form of spectral visualization, pretty sure it can be found in wave lab too. It's pretty old anyway. I never used them, remember seeing them in write-ups and reviews.

That eq was the only thing I missed when I stopped using FL studio. I just found it nice to use. Granted it does tend to lead to applying eq with my eyes instead of my ears. If Image Line decides to release it as a vst plug in, I'd cop it, if the price was right.

p.s. I have been using the Studio One EQ since and I find that it is just as powerful, I guess I just miss the aesthetic of FL's eq

I think they might have released it a while ago in a special pack or something..but iirc the plugins they sell seperate are always buggy as hell. Edison is a good example of that.

As you can see in the pic I posted the colorband underneath the curve shows that low amplitude is represented as blue after that green and high amplitude is represented as red.

Simply install it and play with it.

Wow, that MEqualizer almost looks too good to be true for a freebie. Dry/Wet, Soft sat, upsampling and different scenes (A-H??) not to mention tweaking with those types of nodes.... I hope theres a catch.... I've spent money on EQ's lol

It looks like much of the functionality is there in the free version

The software is totally free of charge, so please download and enjoy! It would be great, if you would place link from your website to ours. That helps us get more funds to continue developing free software for you! Thank you!

You should consider upgrading to a professional version (Pro bundle). This is what you get:

You can change size and style of the plugins.
You can access sonogram feature in analyzers and equalizers.
You can manipulate your own presets.
Most plugins can perform upsampling which minimizes aliasing, therefore it is useful to improve sound quality.
The plugins will not contain the nasty big box in the bottom with our clickable logo.
You will make us happy and let us develop more free software ;-).

Do you want it as a (Windows) VST to use in another DAW? You can buy it here: Juice Pack VSTi https://support.image-line.com/jshop/shop.php
