This can be seen as 2 complementary shelves: a high shelf and a low shelf. Tiltshift is a very simple plugin that implements a ‘tilt’ tone control. That is A LOT of time spent in a VST in 9 days.įor making broad adjustments, which the majority of EQ changes I make are, nothing beats these 2 plugins. I’ve owned them for approximately 9 days, and I’ve used them in total for about 27 hours. I recently purchased Goodhertz Tone Control and Tiltshift. 90% of the time I grab apQualizr 2, but I can’t live without Pro-Q. That’s just one example of the many problem solving things you can do with apQualizer that you can’t do with Pro-Q 2. We end up with less hi-hat and a snare that’s still bright and awesome. No high-cut during the snare, but high-cut during the rest of the part. The apQualizr settings make it so that when the snare hits, the high band rises in gain to 0. That cut alone makes the snare sound very dull and lifeless.

The result is that for most of the playback, there is a deep high end cut that reduces the leakage of the hi-hat. The Compression module controls the gain of a high band. I have a midrange band that feeds a compression module.

In the image above I’m cleverly and cleanly solving a common issue: hi-hat leakage in to the snare mic. The modulation system is unequaled in Pro-Q 2.
