Digidesign is proud to announce the Massenburg DesignWorks Hi-Res Parametric EQ V2, developed by the creator of the parametric EQ, George Massenburg. This new version of the acclaimed MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ plug-in for Digidesign Pro Tools|HD systems delivers the same reference standard sound as the original while offering a new user interface, five- and three-band versions, improved DSP efficiency, and significant workflow enhancements.
An enhanced user interface makes functions easier to see and more intuitive to use, while the inclusion of three- and five-band versions allows precious DSP resources to be conserved when only three bands are needed. DSP efficiency has also been optimized so more copies of the plug-in can be instantiated in each session. Unique to MDW version 2.0 is a function called IsoPeak, which lets users isolate and sweep through the frequency spectrum to find the targeted frequency with just a click of the band button. The Massenburg DesignWorks Hi-Res Parametric EQ V2 delivers its outstanding sound by using double-precision 48-bit processing and high-resolution 96 kHz sample-rate processing. Even when working in sessions at 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rates, MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ processes audio at 88.2 and 96 kHz respectively, producing high-resolution audio, fewer artifacts, and more-predictable filter curves. MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ emulates the constant shape reciprocal filter curves of the GML 8200—the industry-standard reference. It also features selectable bands, a wide frequency selection (from 10 Hz to 41 kHz), and variable Qs from 25.6 to 0.1 (1/18th of an octave to 6 2/3rd octaves). The EQ also supports 192kHz sessions.
