Unrivaled Dynamic Equalization

At the heart of the X-DynEQ lies its ability to dynamically boost or attenuate frequencies based on the amplitude changes within the audio signal. This sophisticated approach to equalization allows users to address specific frequency issues with unmatched accuracy and finesse, all while preserving the inherent character of the sound source. By offering an extensive range of dynamic mode options, such as Attack, Release, and Threshold, the X-DynEQ empowers engineers to tackle even the most challenging mixing scenarios with confidence and ease.

The X-DynEQ's dynamic processing capabilities are further enhanced by its advanced sidechain filtering options. Users can precisely define the frequency range that triggers the dynamic EQ, ensuring that only the desired elements of the audio signal are affected. This level of control is particularly valuable when dealing with complex mixes, where multiple instruments and vocals compete for space in the frequency spectrum.

Comprehensive Filter Options and Intuitive Interface

The X-DynEQ boasts an impressive array of 20 distinct EQ types and filter shapes, including newly introduced options like Notch, Bandpass, and Tilt EQ. This comprehensive toolkit provides users with unparalleled flexibility in sculpting and fine-tuning their audio, ensuring optimal results across a wide range of applications. Whether you're working on music production, post-production, or live sound reinforcement, the X-DynEQ has the tools you need to achieve your desired sound.

The plug-in's intuitive node-based user interface, combined with advanced features such as per-band stereo processing and dynamic sidechaining, streamlines workflow and enhances creative control. The interface allows users to visualize the dynamic EQ curve in real-time, making it easy to identify and address problem areas in the frequency spectrum. The X-DynEQ also includes a comprehensive set of metering options, including real-time analyzers and peak/RMS meters, providing users with a clear picture of their audio signal at all times.

Seamless Integration with SSL Complete Bundle

As part of SSL's commitment to providing a cohesive and powerful suite of audio tools, the X-DynEQ seamlessly integrates with the company's flagship SSL Complete Bundle subscription service. Users who subscribe to SSL Complete will have access to the X-DynEQ alongside a host of other industry-leading plug-ins, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient workflow for all their mixing and mastering needs.

The SSL Complete Bundle includes a wide range of tools for audio processing, including compressors, equalizers, reverbs, and more. By integrating the X-DynEQ into this suite of tools, SSL has created a powerful ecosystem that allows users to achieve professional-grade results with ease and efficiency.
