Crave DSP – Crave Transient EQ v1.0.6 for WiN

Crave Transient EQ is three powerful equalizers in one plugin that allow you to dynamically equalize transient and stationary components of sound in parallel.

The Power of Three E

Crave Transient EQ is three powerful equalizers in one plugin that allow you to dynamically equalize transient and stationary components of your sound in parallel.

Transient and Stationary EQ

Using a proprietary algorithm developed in-house, the sound is precisely separated into transient and stationary components, which can be controlled independently using the T/S control for each band. Details beyond the initial percussion notes are highlighted. For example, in a vocal track, the stationary signal will contain all the smooth musical elements, while the transient signal will contain all the abrupt, rapidly changing non-harmonic elements.

Dynamic EQ

Loud and Quiet buttons. Loud means the band will turn on when the signal exceeds the threshold. Quiet means the band will turn on when the signal falls below the threshold. So, to boost only the quiet parts of an audio recording, add a regular EQ boost, press Q, adjust the threshold, and you’re done!

Parallel EQ

Parallel filters interact much less than their cascaded counterparts, resulting in more transparent dynamics. The M/S and L/R controls allow you to precisely adjust the position of parallel filters within the stereo field. Our filter technology is specifically designed to handle rapidly changing parameters and signals, ensuring transparent dynamics and transient processing.

High-Resolution Spectrogram

The spectrogram allows you to distinguish low frequencies while maintaining precise temporal resolution at high frequencies (even at maximum settings). Transient dynamics are highlighted in yellow to easily distinguish them from stationary content. To fully enjoy the spectrogram, open the Analyzer menu and select the largest Size.
