GEQ Graphic Equalizer: 30-Band EQ Plugin by Waves

GEQ offers two EQ modes. The modern topology is designed to eliminate interaction between bands, so boosting or cutting one band does not disturb its neighbors in the same way it can on older graphic designs. The classic mode uses proportional Q filters, where the bandwidth narrows as gain increases. Switching between the two lets you choose the behavior that suits the material.

Each of the 30 bands offers gain up to ±18 dB, which gives enough range for corrective and creative moves alike. A floating parametric stage adds a bell-response band that can be placed anywhere, useful for targeting a frequency that falls between the fixed bands.

The dual-input real-time analyzer lets you compare two signals while you adjust the curve, and it can be calibrated to your monitoring setup. The interface is touchscreen-friendly, so you can draw EQ curves directly on a touch display.

Waves positions GEQ for venue work as well as production. Zero latency means the processing can sit in a live signal chain, for example to match a room's acoustics, and the same tool is available for mixing in the studio.
