PareQ is a free EQ. The name is a play on the word to pare or cut away.
PareQ: Walkthrough + Manual
This EQ has a slightly different workflow from the typical modern device. I borrow some from older styles. The big differences are that you have to work a bit more by feel than “eyes” and the paragraphic bands are effectively asking you: What do you want to do? in each of the major frequency areas.
Features
- 5 Paragraphic Bands (two switchable to Shelf)
- 2 Filters (HP + LP)
- Dyn Circuit (kooky dynamic eq effect)
- Spectrum View (switchable)
- Bypass Bands & Global
- Nice Workflow
- Pay what you want
Download
via my
Ko-fi page
The download can be free but if you use the PareQ I encourage you to go back to Ko-fi to pay what you feel is fair for the value you are getting as these tools take a lot of time and experience to build (and publish).
Mixing is an Artform and not as easily learned as many claim. Like any task, some are better suited than others. If you find that you aren’t getting the results that you hope, please reach out to have me Mix & Master the songs for you or for Training. This is usually a far better investment than time and dollars sunk into things that never give a useful return (assuming that frustration is not a useful return).
