This website contains detailed descriptions of the DynPEQ plugins and dynamic parametric equalization in general. We know that even though the processing opens up a large space of possibilities, it is understandable for people to say, “Yes, but what does it do?” To that end, the pro audio community has been discovering many applications for which DynPEQ is well-suited and a few for which DynPEQ is uniquely suited.

We will offer special KVR Store checkout codes at NAMM to save on both Quartet and Trio. We hope to have a few appearances from DynPEQ advocates. Check back here for announcements.

We urge NAMM attendees on Saturday 25 January to get here early for DynPEQ advocate Eva Reistad’s TEC Talk, 10 AM in the Hilton California Ballroom B.

Travel-free DynPEQ seminars over Zoom, BYOT (Bring Your Own Track)

Under the current situation, we can’t travel as much as we like.  So we have decided to bring DynPEQ presentations directly to you over the net.

We offer DynPEQ seminars over Zoom and will try to perform at least one per week.  Please check the top sidebar on DynPEQ or other pages of this site for upcoming show times and to request an invite.

Seminar attendees are welcome to submit single-track audio content for live application with DynPEQ.  To do this, please follow these guidelines.
• Maximum length: 20 seconds
• Maximum sample rate: 48Khz
• Maximum channel count: 2
• Have permission from all rights-holders
• Use Zoom on a computer: i.e. the Chat window contains a File button for transfer

Pro Tools Mono/Stereo utility now a free download

DynPEQ version 1.4 users already have this utility but may not realize it can be used with any dual-mono AAX plugin. It is a very simple utility, in the Sound Field category, that converts a Left/Right channel pair into a Mono/Stereo, or Sum/Difference, signal. What Pro Tools designates as L is the Mono (Sum) channel, and R is the Stereo (Difference) channel. Instantiate the utility again down the insert chain to convert the Mono/Stereo signal back into Left/Right stereo.

We offer this non-DRM’ed utility to the Pro Tools community as a free download. The plugin works on Pro Tools version 10 and up, both AAX Native and HDX DSP, on Mac OS X version 10.6 and up. The download contains installers for both 32/64-bit AAX hosts and 64-bit-only M-chip-and-Intel Gatekeeper-cleared Mac OS X 10.14 and up AAX hosts. You can download the utility by clicking here, or by visiting the utility’s page on KVR.

Pickles, and how to get out of them

We have added a new page to this website in response to your stories of unusual uses for our unusual DynPEQ plugs.  Click this link to read the work tales and for instructions on how to submit your own.

Read all about it!

The DynPEQ plugins are the subject of a review by the late Darwin Grosse in the June 2017 issue of Recording Magazine.  Here is a highlight.

“Perhaps the aspect that has me most interested in using this product is the way it makes me think about my work–while it is clearly both an EQ and a compressor/expander, it is viable to approach it like a super-EQ.”

Through the kind permission of Recording Magazine, you can read the entire review through this link.
