HoRNet Plugins offers the ThirtyOne MK2 (€20,99 value) plugin as a FREE download until midnight on December 6 (GMT+1).
ThirtyOne MK2 is a 31-band spectrum analyzer with a built-in graphic equalizer and Auto EQ functionality. I prefer using parametric EQs for mixing, but ThirtyOne MK2 surprised me with its intuitive spectrum analysis display and surprisingly precise automatic equalization.
The plugin’s spectrum analyzer display mimics the analog behavior with smooth LED lighting and a 20dB/octave filter.
The LED response speed is adjustable (0.25, 1, or 4 seconds), allowing visualization of both fast peaks and average frequency levels. Each LED represents 1, 2, 3, or 6 dB and includes a unique peak hold LED for each band.
Below the analyzer, there are 31 sliders for the graphic equalizer, each controlling a standard one-third octave second-order filter, adjustable from -15 to +15 dB.
The Auto EQ feature uses the spectrum analyzer output to set the equalizer for optimal harmonic balance. It offers three algorithms: Average, Median, and Lucky (a serendipitous discovery).
The spectrum analyzer’s speed impacts the Auto EQ, with faster settings tracking quick frequency changes.
Another helpful feature is the Compensation Curve, which allows users to offset the Auto EQ output, providing more control over the resultant EQ curve. Users can save and load their compensation curves to speed up the mixing workflow.
Lastly, it is also possible to bypass, solo, or disable each equalizer band for Auto EQ. Despite its complex feature set, I found the plugin extremely easy to use while testing it. This is mainly due to the well-designed interface and the intuitive control layout that doesn’t confuse the user with unnecessary features.
