Waves Renaissance Equalizer: Equalizer Plugin

For over two decades engineers have reached for the Renaissance EQ because it solves problems. The neutral unbiased sound means that any changes made to your tracks happen because you set the controls to make those changes—not because the EQ imposed its own sound on your settings. What’s more the clean multipoint touch-friendly interface (with 3 different skins) is a joy—see all band parameters at once or focus on a single band. No wonder this EQ has stood the test of time.

From Lowest Lows to Highest Highs

Unlike some EQs no band is limited to a specific range—every equalizer band spans the audio spectrum from 16 Hz to 21.357 kHz. The gain extends all the way to ±18 dB and Q is variable from 0.71 to 1.41 dB/octave.

Analog Curves

All bands can do the expected bell and shelf responses. However the low and high bands can also be filters—or choose from a resonant shelf option which recalls the response curves of vintage analog EQs.

See Your Sound with Visual Feedback

The real-time analyzer shows precisely how EQ adjustments affect the frequency response but there’s more: hover over the display and the display shows the frequency under the cursor in both Hertz and musical notes.

Simplified Gain-Staging

Gain-staging is crucial with EQ. The Trim parameter shows how much headroom is left or whether it’s being exceeded. Even better one click on the Trim button adjusts the level automatically to prevent clipping. 300+ Presets by Grammy® Winners Browse through a staggering 310 artist presets from 54 Grammy-winning producers and mix engineers including Lu Diaz (Jay Z) Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin) Thom Russo (Michael Jackson) Ross Hogarth (Van Halen) and many more.
