5-band dynamic EQ that only moves when it needs to
Every band rests at 0 dB and moves toward its point only when the band hits. Comp pushes loud bands down, Exp hits on transients. Solo any band and see what it is doing right now.
Ableton Live 12 Suite, or Live 12 Standard with Max for Live. Windows and macOS.
Each of the five bands rests at 0 dB. Drag a point down and the band only dips when it gets loud (Comp); drag a raised point and it stays boosted until the band hits, then gets pushed back. Exp reads the transients of the band and moves on every hit. Solo the selected band to hear exactly what you are working on, and switch the view between 6, 12 and 30 dB.
