Crave DSP Crave EQ v2.1.11 [WIN]
Crave EQ was built with one purpose: uncompromising sound quality. To that end, we have created 3 highly accurate EQ models based on an ideal analog equalizer. Each model is aimed at delivering the best possible sound for a specific task.
What’s New in Version 2:
- Native Apple Silicon Support
- All plugin formats have been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon
Transparent Phase Crossover Frequency Shown in UI
The frequency of the transparent phase crossover (the point when the phase switches from linear to analog) is shown along the frequency axes for visual reference.
Right Click Drag For More Precise Knobs
Right clicking and dragging allows finer adjustment of knobs.
Band Number in UI
The current band number appears in the UI and can be used to navigate between bands.
Improved Spectrum Analyzer
The new spectrum analyzer supports higher frequency resolutions, features improved ballistics and can be configured to display any of the M, S, L, R (and combined L/R) channels of the input and output signal. The analyzer can be zoomed up to 4x by dragging up/down on the frequency axis. Dedicated preset management for saving/loading analyzer presets.
Linearly Spaced Frequency Lines
Option to switch from logarithmically spaced frequency lines to a new linearly spaced frequency display. Enabled by right clicking the editor background and choosing Lines -> Linear from the context menu.
Sample Accurate Automation
Supports sample accurate automation for offline bounces with compatible hosts and plugin formats.
Phase Inversion
The phase of the signal can be inverted by clicking the Φ button.
Up to 4x Lighter on GPU
The new graphics engine uses 8x less GPU memory and is up to 4x lighter on the GPU processor.
Unique Transparent Phase Processing
Crave EQ provides four high fidelity phase models: digital (zero latency), analog, linear and transparent. Transparent phase uses a proprietary low latency phase suppression technique developed by Crave DSP that combines the best of both the analog and digital worlds. It is ideal for low latency mixing, delivering linear phase transparency at higher frequencies and analog phase filtering at lower frequencies.
The diagram below shows the four phase models in Crave EQ (analog, digital, transparent and linear) for a peaking filter at 5kHz. In this example, the transparent phase model is set to a latency of 5ms.
