Level Range EQ

Version 2.3.0 — Out now.

Free Level-Dependent EQ Plug-in

Level Range EQ is a free level-dependent EQ plug-in that applies different EQ curves to quiet, mid-level, and loud parts of a signal. Version 2.3.0 is a bug fix update for the previous release, while keeping the Tone Shaper and Dynamic EQ workflows available in the same plug-in.

Latest downloads are available for macOS 11 or later and Windows VST3. The Windows build matches version 2.3.0, and I have received reports that it works well. Windows AAX support is planned for a future release. Version 2.3.0 is a bug fix update for the previous release. Version 2.0.0 fixed an AU startup issue reported in Logic Pro where inserting the plug-in immediately after launch and moving EQ bands could produce severe distortion, runaway output, and audio dropout until the plug-in was re-instanced.

What it does

Apply different EQ depending on the signal’s level.
Three level ranges: Low, Mid, High.
Each range has its own EQ curve, so you can shape whispers / normal / peaks differently.

Dialogue / VO

Different tonal balance for low-level room tone vs spoken words vs loud consonants — useful for consistent intelligibility.
