Level Range EQ

Version 2.4.0Out 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 2.4.0 includes minor bug fixes while keeping the Tone Shaper and Dynamic EQ workflows available in the same plug-in.

macOS: AAX / AU / VST3 for macOS 11 or later Windows: VST3
Download LevelRangeEQ_2.4.0.pkg Download Windows VST3 (ZIP)

Latest downloads are available for macOS 11 or later and Windows VST3. The macOS installer is version 2.4.0. The Windows VST3 package currently remains at 2.3.0 until its refreshed build is published, and I have received reports that it works well. Windows AAX support is planned for a future release. Version 2.4.0 includes minor bug fixes. 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.

Typical use cases

Vocals

Keep quiet phrases warm, keep normal phrases clear, and tame harsh peaks — without crushing everything into one curve.

Dialogue / VO

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

Instruments

Shape sustain and transients differently (e.g., brighten attacks while keeping body smooth).
