What EQuivocate Is For
EQuivocate is an equalizer plug-in designed for producers, mixers, and mastering engineers who want to sculpt a sound with a "natural" feel and immediate clarity. Its approach based on critical bands facilitates EQ decisions on delicate sources such as vocals, drums, synths, guitars, mix buses, or masters. Thanks to the Match EQ function, it also serves to bring the timbre of a track closer to a reference, homogenize two takes from different chains, or create tonal complementarity to better place an element in a dense mix.
Main Features
26-band auditory filters "Human Ear EQ"
At the heart of EQuivocate are 26 linear phase auditory filters whose shape is designed to approximate the filters of the ear's critical bands. The result: even marked settings remain easier to integrate musically, with behavior particularly suited to fine corrections and overall balancing. The bands are distributed along the Mel spectrum, an arrangement that corresponds more to perception than to a simple linear frequency scale.
Transparent Match EQ via sidechain
The Match EQ function allows you to compare your signal to a source sent to the sidechain (reference track, stem, instrument, full mix) to profile the tonal curve and apply it to your track. The goal is not to "over-model" imperceptible differences but to achieve a clean and natural match. This is especially useful for: bringing two recordings made under different conditions closer together, giving coherence to a set of tracks, or guiding a master towards the tonal balance of a reference track.
Fast and precise mixing tools
EQuivocate favors a direct workflow: you can draw a curve with a simple click-and-drag on the gain area, then disable drawing mode to fine-tune each band. Band solos help isolate a frequency range to identify resonance, harshness, or excess energy. Finally, automatic level compensation stabilizes the output volume to judge tonal changes without being misled by gain variations.
Customization and artist presets
To adapt to your methods, you can add or remove filters and customize their frequency distribution. EQuivocate also includes a selection of artist presets for a quick start, as well as a Compare mode allowing instant switching between two distinct settings, useful for validating an EQ choice in context.

Questions frequently asked
Is Newfangled EQuivocate compatible with Mac and Windows?
Compatibility covers macOS 10.14 or later on Intel and Apple Silicon processors, as well as Windows 10 or later. The software is available for download.
How many EQ bands does this plug-in offer?
The equalization is based on 26 auditory filters in linear phase, distributed according to the Mel scale. Their shape is inspired by the critical bands of the human ear.
How does the Match EQ with sidechain work?
A reference source can be sent to the sidechain to compare its tonal profile with the processed signal. The resulting curve can be used to match the timbre of two recordings from different signal chains. This function also applies to a track, stem, or full mix.
Can an EQ curve be drawn with the mouse?
The Draw EQ Curve mode allows directly tracing the equalization curve with the mouse, then fine-tuning the settings of each band.
What presets are included in EQuivocate?
Presets by Richard Devine, Jeremy Lubsey, Alex Saltz, Sebastian Arocha Morton, Richard X, and John McCaig are included. A Compare mode allows switching between two distinct settings.
