01Overview

VEQ-1A is an EQ plugin from Antelope Audio that focuses on two bands, low and high, with a mid-peak control with adjustable bandwidth. Its design is built around a well-known studio equalizer that has been in use for decades. The developer describes the sound as a massive bass and an airy high end. Because the controls are few and direct, it suits both individual tracks and full mix processing.

03In depth

Sound and Character of the VEQ-1A EQ

Antelope Audio says the plugin recreates a classic two-band EQ, including its tube-driven analog design, and is known for its bass weight and smooth top end. The developer notes that the original hardware was manufactured from 1961 until 1971, and that this plugin is based on the revision that many engineers preferred.

The defining trait is the ability to boost and cut the same frequency at once. This creates a tonal shape that is different from a standard parametric EQ, and it is a technique often used to add weight in the low end while keeping the top end open.

Controls and Workflow for Bus and Track Use

The plugin includes an attenuation selector and a bandwidth adjustment knob for the mid-peak band. The developer states that it works equally well as a bus EQ or an individual track EQ.

Use it on single sources such as vocals, drums, guitar, or synths, or on a full mix for final tonal adjustments. Its limited set of controls keeps the workflow fast.
