Techivation has announced the release of a linear phase tone shaping equalizer with a unique twist. Where most tilt EQs simply discard the energy they cut, Tilt EQ‘s Drive control captures that energy and re-injects it as harmonic saturation. The result is a tone-shaping tool that lets you brighten, darken, or rebalance a sound without the spectral content going dull or thin. Drive intensity scales with the amount of energy the tilt curve removes, so the saturation reacts musically to whatever the EQ is doing.
Beyond the Drive, Tilt EQ offers a complete tonal toolkit: adjustable tilt range and slope for control over the position and steepness of the spectral shift, mid-side processing, stereo balance to pan the entire band effect across L/R or M/S channels, and a pair of variable-slope low and high cut filters for cleaning up rumble and harsh top end. Automatic gain compensation keeps loudness consistent across EQ moves, and the Drive section runs at up to 8x oversampling for alias-free saturation.
Tilt EQ is built for fast, decisive tonal moves on individual tracks, mix buses, and masters — designed to fit naturally into the workflow of engineers who want a clean tilt curve, character when they need it, and nothing in the way when they don’t.
The plugin is free to download in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.
