FIREQ

FIREQ is a 1/6th octave (62 band) stereo finite impulse response (FIR) mastering equalizer with linear phase characteristics. Utilization of these FIR, linear-phase, or non recursive filters as they are sometimes called yields a highly transparent sound. This allows for the FIREQ to be a very useful mastering tool. With the built in frequency analyzer you can view the energy levels of your incoming audio, and observe real time changes as you adjust the filters.

Use FIREQ's Match feature to learn the spectral characteristics of one audio source and apply it to another. If you have ever recorded an artist several days in a row, occasionally the next days work does not have the same sonic footprint as the previous days session. Using the match function of the FIREQ, the sound best liked can be captured, stored, and applied to the new session. When working on a multi-mix compilation, use the FIREQ to achieve consistency between all your tracks.

Use the spectral display to analyze and shape the frequency content of your signal. Easily pick out problem areas in your audio then, after you've developed your filter, view both the input and output spectra and compare the effects of FIREQ's EQ – a before and after analysis.
