Voxengo CurveEQ VST is a professional WYSIWYG ("what you see
is what you get") linear phase spline equalizer. CurveEQ shows
you actual filtering information: the filter's frequency
response, and both input and output FFT spectrums. You can
actually see what the EQ is doing with the sound. This, in
turn, allows you to get the best from your mix and your
tracks. CurveEQ perfectly suits the needs of mastering, and in
some cases CurveEQ is suitable for use as an in-track FX
insert. Since CurveEQ is a linear phase equalizer, it offers a
very easy tuning experience. This is especially true if you
want to get your bass range right.
Besides the aforementioned features, Voxengo CurveEQ
implements SpectruMatch spectrum matching technology that
allows you to perfectly transfer a spectrum's slope from one
recording to another. This allows you to `copy' a frequency
balance of existing mixes so that other mixes that are still
in the works will sound better. This technology also greatly
helps in music disc mastering, since using it allows you to
easily lessen any dramatic differences in the area of
frequency balance between various tracks.
GearMatch technology allows you to transfer impulse responses
of high-end analog audio gear to your digital audio, while
allowing you to adjust frequency response freely. This results
in a great improvement of sonic qualities. With this
technology, all your tracks will sound unbelievably
professional and vintage.
CurveEQ has a Vintage Processor which allows you to polish
your sounds. Just turn it on and you will get a great deal of
presence effect. Also, CurveEQ includes a compressing
saturator. When it is enabled, the processed sound gets an
additional vintage feel. You can use the saturator to create
professional sounding vocal, guitar and bass tracks. In
addition, it can be used on almost any audio material,
especially during the mastering process as a vintage loudness
maximizer.
Voxengo CurveEQ is a great addition to your existing
professional plug-ins collection. But if you are just starting
with EQ plug-ins, CurveEQ is a great learning tool, too - just
see how spectrum gets equalized and compare it to what you
hear.

Notes
Since equalizer uses digital filtering, it issues a sample
delay (latency). If you are working in multitrack environment
then possibly this will not bother you since multitrackers
usually buffer this latency so it is consumed, but if you are
using live audio processing, plug-in will issue a 3072 samples
latency. Additional 512 samples of latency will be added if
saturator latency buffering is enabled.
Question
Could you explain the difference between the EQ provided in
CurveEQ which seems to contain a large number of "bands" and
the EQ offered by parametric EQs which seem to work with 5 to
7 bands which seem to have simpler curves across the spectrum.
Is CurveEQ just superior to these or do those EQ's have
specific advantages?
First of all, CurveEQ allows you to draw arbitrary EQ curves.
Most parametric equalizers allow you to use some subset of EQ
curves only (standard peaking, shelving filter curves), and
this way it is sometimes difficult to get exactly what you
want.
CurveEQ's technology not only allows you to draw EQ curve
freely (it has both free-hand and control-point driven modes),
but also gives you the opportunity to match spectrums
(transfer EQ picture from one song to another).
Thus, comparison of CurveEQ and parametric EQs is not fully
correct. Parametric EQs most of the time give a very strong
character (if they are not linear-phase) while CurveEQ can
work in a totally transparent manner.
As was already stated, CurveEQ is perfect for mastering
applications where you don't need some very special character
from the equalizer, but where you need control and
transparency (plus CurveEQ can offer you a special character
if you need it to). Existing users tend to say you can't go
wrong with CurveEQ.
