lkjb QRange

lkjb QRange is an advanced IIR linear phase EQ plugin. It features twelve sortable bands that can work as peak, shelf, and cut filters. The equalizer is highly flexible, offering adjustable cut filter steepness, Stereo/Left/Right/Mid/Side routing per band, global gain for loudness adjustments, and a freely resizable user interface. It also has a latency-free minimal phase mode and a gain match feature. QRange’s frequency analyzer can display the pre- and post-EQ frequency spectrum in real time.

The analyzer’s range can be fine-tuned, which is great if you need to customize it for a specific use case. The plugin’s main drawbacks are its high CPU load and latency. The latency is quite noticeable in default settings, but this can be remedied by turning on the latency-free mode. On the other hand, QRange’s main advantage is its outstanding sound quality. It sounds very musical, even at high gain boosts in the upper-frequency range.

I often use QRange to add air and sweetness to percussion sounds. It’s incredible how it can boost the desired frequency range by 10 dB or more without noticing unpleasant sonic artifacts.
