The low end, the low mids, the upper mids and the “sheen”. Plus we offer up various thoughts on each area on cutting or boosting and why. Don’t forget our Friday Finds and… It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.

Chris and Jody take a general dive into the world of Eventide’s new Split EQ. This isn’t your grandpa’s EQ. It’s not even your daddy’s EQ. This EQ is something else entirely. Is it posing? Is it for real? Is it truly possible to create a uniquely new path in the EQ world? We discuss our initial reactions to this new plugin meant to give mix engineers incredible power over the processing of sounds in a way that until now, wasn’t impossible but was incredibly hard. Split EQ defines a new era that could really help the 360/Atmos mixing issues to be faced. Don’t forget our Friday Finds and it’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
