by Unknown
Qx-Comp is a free 2-band dynamic EQ with controls similar to a compressor but with a unique twist. It allows the gain reduction from one band to be inverted and blended into the opposing band, creating a dynamic interaction between them. If you don’t count the compressor-style layout, QX-Comp is essentially a 2-band dynamic equalizer. I love how much control is available for each band. It’s a great tool if you only want to fine-tune a particular part of the frequency spectrum and don’t need additional bands.
Qx-Comp is compatible with Windows 10/11 (x64) and macOS Big Sur or later. Thanks to BPB reader Dee for recommending Qx-Comp.
