Impressed !!
This one put a big smile on my face when I ran a few mixes through it. I still cannot believe how much of a big difference this “simple” EQ makes. Suddenly the whole mix is breathing and the acoustic guitars come to life. Excellent presets. Just try the “Quick master” presets and I’m sure you’ll have a big smile on your face, too.
