Core Vintage Equalizers: Passive Parallel EQ Plugin by Softube

Softube describes Core Vintage Equalizers as smooth and musical. Its passive parallel design is meant to add a gentle, cohesive coloration when used for broad adjustments. Rather than carving narrow problem frequencies, the plugin is suited to shaping the overall balance of a track or bus.

Because it is built on the Vintage EQ from the Console 1 Mixing System, its tonal character reflects that original design. It works well as a first EQ move on a mix element when you want the sound to feel right before you refine it further.

Softube notes that, like many modeled vintage EQs, Core Vintage Equalizers is not the tool for pinpointing difficult frequency areas. For that, Softube points to its Equalizers plug-in, which provides precision control.

Softube says the two can be combined with Core Vintage Equalizers, Trident A-Range or other Softube EQs to cover both broad coloring and precise corrections in one signal chain.
