This highly-tweakable space-carving capabilities of the Dynamic EQ will be a welcome addition to your mixing arsenal. The first dynamic EQ on the UAD platform, the Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ plug-in is an excellent alternative to multiband compression, allowing you to sculpt and shape your sources with unending precision. Innovative M/S cross-trigger features for example - simply not possible with any other EQ M/S Inside Mastering.

Additionally, mid-side processing can be used to enhance a vocal without affecting side-channel balance or to open up a mix by focusing low end energy in the centre. A truly different approach to dynamic EQ. The Dynamic EQ introduces unique features such as the option to engage the effect by onset (transient) detection – very useful when working with drums and percussion.

5 bands of the ultra-musical Type-3 EQ curve can be overlapped to bring unparalleled control and characteristic Sonnox transparency to your single sources, instrument groups and 2-bus alike. DSP indicates the amount of resources required by one UAD plug-in instance on a single SHARC. Some UAD plug-ins use more DSP at higher sample rates. All measurements are taken at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. See bottom of page for more details about the chart. Sometimes I’ll EQ in the digital domain, adding some UAD Sonnox Oxford EQ plug-in on the vocal, perhaps putting a couple of notches in the top end, but then I may also give it some EQ in the analog domain, as well, and that could mean a hardware Pultec, or that could mean the EQ section on the SSL or the Neve board. Then the Oxford Dynamic EQ is the tool you need, providing just the required amount of processing when you need it and takes little time to set up. The following table indicates DSP usage for UAD Powered Plug-Ins. Have you tried to control boomy or harsh frequencies using a traditional static EQ but found you compromised the integrity of the original recording? Then found that writing automation lost you precious time and sounded unnatural? Perhaps you’ve heard that a multiband compressor is the answer but it left you scratching your head?
