GearAudition equalizers
Clips were recorded in 24bits 44.1kHz format, then dithered to 16bits 44.1kHz using R8brain pro, and finally compressed to 360kbits VBR format using LAME mp3 encoder.
Signal chain
An Epiphone AJ-200 SCE acoustic guitar sample recorded through a Neumann KM184 > John Hardy M1 preamp > Apogee Rosetta 200 > Cubase SX4 was passed through different equalizers, using the same three settings
(natural, darker and thinner).
Signal chain;
-Software: Cubase SX4 > Acoustic guitar > Equalizer > Cubase SX4.
-Harware: Cubase SX4 > Acoustic guitar > echo Layla outputs > Compressor > echo Layla inputs > Cubase SX4
Settings
Settings:
Setting1:(natural)
- 60 Hz Shelf(0) = -8dB
-240Hz = -8dB
-2.50kHz = +2.5dB
-10.0kHz Shelf = +3dB
Q = 4
Setting 2: (darker)
- 100Hz = -6dB
-300Hz = +2dB
-4kHz = -8dB
-7kHz Shelf(0) = -8dB
Q = 4
Setting 3: (thinner)
- 170Hz shelf(0) = -8dB
-700Hz = +4dB
-1.5kHz = +4.5dB
-7kHz Shelf(0) = +3dB
Q = 4
Note: The following equalizers have different parameters, they were adjusted as close as possible to the settings.
URS A10, URS N12, URS Fulltec, UAD Pultec Pro
No Fx, other then compression, has been added.
