So many equalizers have the same behaviour throughout their entire spectrum. Within a month, I had developed the concept of an EQ where every single band’s boost and cut was customized with combinations of the best analog filters so that it could be the most musical and intuitive tone shaping processor for modern audio production.

I started combining multiple EQ’s on various tracks to form hybrid equalization sounds that I found to be superior to any single EQ. I was going to patch in all of the EQs and use them on a few dozen reference mixes so that I could understand which would be the most complimentary to the two classic EQ’s that we already have in the Virtual Mix Rack, the FG-N and FG-S.īut what ended up happening was way beyond what I had in mind. My objective was straightforward, but it was not easy. Some I had bought, some I had borrowed, some I had rented, but it didn’t matter, because on that day… they were all mine. Shortly after the release of the Virtual Mix Rack last November, I found myself sitting in my Los Angeles studio staring at a rack of some of the industry’s finest analog equalizers.

Introducing the CUSTOM SERIES Equalizer by Slate Digital. What if there was one equalizer that could recreate the best aspects of some of the greatest equalizers in the industry? It could have the silky top end of classic tube EQ’s, the clear and present midrange of some of the great discrete EQ’s, the warmth and thickness of legendary 60's console eqs, and the fat low end of vintage mastering EQ.
