Sound Shaping Controls and Filter Modes

The High and Low Frequency bands each offer switchable Bell and Shelf modes, so you can choose between a peaking boost or cut and a broader shelving response. The Low Mid and High Mid bands each provide two switchable bandwidth (Q) modes, which lets you select how wide or narrow each adjustment is.

High- and low-pass filters are included alongside the four bands, giving you tools for removing unwanted extremes from a track or bus.

The developer says the plugin lets you shape sound in fairly extreme ways while keeping the signal clean.

Character of the Analog-Inspired Design

According to Antelope Audio, the VEQ-STU 900 is built to deliver solid bass, smooth mids and a smooth high end, carrying over the character of the hardware channel strip it models.

The developer also positions it alongside its VEQ-4K series EQ, describing its low end as thick and its mids as gentle.

The plugin is a good fit for producers who want an EQ with a defined analog-style tonal signature across mixing and mastering tasks.
