Aeons Light’s tracking harmonic EQ plugin “Harmonic EQ” is now available as a free download.
In this article, we cover the download details and an overview of Harmonic EQ. Be sure to check it out.
1. What Is Aeons Light “Harmonic EQ”?
Harmonic EQ is an EQ plugin that automatically detects the fundamental of an audio signal, places EQ bands on its harmonics, and follows pitch changes in real time so you can adjust individual harmonics. Even when the pitch of a vocal, bass or melody moves, the EQ keeps hitting the harmonics you are targeting without any frequency automation.
The free version includes all audio features and has no expiration. However, the free version shows a 10-second countdown screen when you first open the plugin. Once the countdown ends you can use it as normal, and purchasing the lifetime license (normally $50) removes this screen. Buying the license does not add any extra EQ features.
Key Features
