First announced last year, TC Electronic is now shipping the Dynamic EQ, the new mixing and mastering plug-in exclusive to the PowerCore platform.
This new EQ tool offers up to four definable bands, which can work in static or dynamic mode, or in a combination of both. Also, each of the bands can be configured as a parametric EQ or a high/low shelving filter.
This virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by providing a marriage between dynamic processing and EQ. Included Sidechain bands, which are independent of the processing bands, enable the high frequency content of a mix to control the low-end and vice versa. All processing is in 48-bit double precision, and may even be used in a phase linear mode, for much more transparent results.
Feature Summary:• Phase linear
• 48-Bit double precision processing
• Up to 4 bands
• Independent sidechain and processing frequencies
• Inverse mode (processing underneath threshold)
• Processing can be static or dynamic
Dynamic EQ for PowerCore is shipping at EUR 430 Ex.VAT.

So you're setting yourself up in the voice over business. What should you think about before anything else? - Can you print a vinyl record on a 3D printer?
Amazingly, the answer to this question is - almost - yes! - An interesting microphone setup for violinist Nigel Kennedy
If you're miking one of the finest violinists in the world, should you point the mic at the double bass instead? - To mic or not to mic the backline? That is an interesting question raising fascinating further possibilities
An RP reader fears losing cabinet resonances if the backline of his band is miked up through the PA. But perhaps it is innovation in live sound that has been lost over the years. - When working in a new theatre, always find out where the tielines go
Any theatre would have tielines from the stage to the sound control booth. But from one side of the booth's window to the other? - Top producer 'steals' song as part of massive publicity stunt
A major producer has 'stolen' a song from a pair of unknowns. A crime, or normal everyday life in the music business? - If AKG makes a USB microphone, does it mean that the time has come for USB mics?
