Plugin Alliance Bettermaker EQ232D

Posted on: Wednesday 16th of September 2020

The Bettermaker software-controlled hardware units have been well-received at Resolution studios, and in 2018 the Bettermaker Mastering EQ (reviewed Resolution V18.1) was voted winner in the EQ category by our readers. Now the Polish experts of USB-controlled analogue hardware have partnered with Plugin Alliance to bring us a plug-in-only recreation of their hardware.

With the original Bettermaker team at its developmental helm helping to ensure authenticity, notable features of the Bettermaker EQ232D plug-in include five EQ filters on each channel, including two classic Pultec sections and two high-pass filters, plus four parametric filters with wide frequency ranges; passive P EQ section comprising shelving filters based on Pultec EQ filters, including separate Boost and Attenuation knobs; 24dB/Oct high-pass filter; two parametric filters per channel, covering frequencies from 15Hz to 15kHz; Stereo, Dual Mono, and M/S modes; and lots of presets to kickstart user workflow, including four exclusive mastering and mix buss presets made by Luca Pretolesi of Studio DMI — all accessible via an intuitive interface.

Bettermaker EQ232D is available for purchase (as an AAX AudioSuite-, AAX Native-, AU-, VST2-, and VST3-supporting effect plugin for macOS 10.9 through 10.15 and Windows 7 through 10) at an introductory price of $229.99 USD until October 31, 2020 — rising thereafter to an MSRP of $299.00.
