I know there's lots of freebies out there and most of them are okay and a few above average. I came across the
SonEQ from Sonimus today and I have to say this is a pretty slick 3 band EQ. "SonEQ is free equalizer plugin that takes parts from some vintage gear and combine them in one. SonEQ has 3 bands, bass, middle and treble. Also, SonEQ has a pre-amp section. SonEQ is a free VST/AU/AAX plugin for Mac and Windows."
- 3 band Equalizer, Low, Mid, High.
- 2 Musical Filters, High-Pass Low-Pass.
- Preamp stage with bass booster.
- 64-bit floating point precision.
- Up to 192kHz sample rates supported
I am impressed with how nice it sounds. I used it on some drum loops and did it ever liven things up! It has nice "drive" knob that can really add some color. This is one I'd pay for, and it is free. You'll have to fill out some info with Sonimus to get it, but I think its worth it.
I commend this one to your attention!
