v0.2.0 — Dynamic EQ bands

Choose a tag to compare

@stoatworks-labs stoatworks-labs released this 15 Jul 21:10

8-band zero-latency parametric EQ + feed-forward compressor + I/O trim, now with
per-band dynamic EQ.

New in this release

  • Dynamic EQ: any gain-having band (Bell/Shelf/Tilt) can run as a frequency-selective
    compressor/expander — threshold, ratio, attack, release, range, and a Downward (duck)
    or Upward (boost) direction. No lookahead, zero added latency preserved.
  • Live curve indicators showing which bands are dynamically engaged and by how much.

Verified

  • pluginval (VST3 + AU, strictness 5): clean pass.
  • Hosted successfully in REAPER (real DAW).
  • Real audio processed through the actual shipped processor class confirms both EQ
    shaping and dynamic ducking/boosting match analytically-predicted values closely.

Known limitations

  • No preset system yet.
  • Meters are simple peak reads, not ballistics-accurate.
  • Dynamic EQ detection is internal only (no external sidechain input yet).
  • Not yet tested against real audio hardware in a live signal chain.

Next up: harmonic-based EQ.
