New possibilities
for positioning sound.

More freedom in postproduction

Closer to the source

Often enough when interviewing, the recording microphone got placed too far from the source; or the grand piano turns out muddy because too much reverb was recorded. In these situations, proximity:EQ+ lets you draw the voice significantly closer and give the muddy piano a crisper sound in postproduction.

Lowering the spatial components increases the direct sound, putting the sound source front and center. Frequency-selective dereverberation allows you to precisely separate direct from indirect components of the signal.

Sonic depth

Add space to the mix

Of course it is also possible that the microphones ended up getting too close to the sound source. Your mix then lacks spaciousness. proximity:EQ+ seamlessly distances the sound source without affecting its original character. This makes your entire mix more transparent and opens new ways of creating sonic depth.

Room resonances

Optimal room acoustics at the touch of a button

Even when you meticulously plan a setup and perfectly position the microphones – the acoustics of a given room simply are what they are. The sophisticated technology of proximity:EQ+ opens entirely new possibilities for amending detrimental room modes in post-production while leaving the direct sound entirely untouched.

The plug-in separates the direct sound and the reverb of a recording. With the help of frequency-selective adjustments, proximity:EQ+ even lets you edit undesired room resonances distinctly from the natural reverb of a recording.
