Pushing Boundaries with entropy:EQ+

The Entropy Module of frei:raum.

The new dimension of EQing simplifies the postproduction of the harmonic and inharmonic sound components of audio recordings - seamlessly and extremely fast.

The entropy:EQ+ is a plug-in that allows for both harmonic and inharmonic sound portions to be adjusted over the entire frequency range. Take this well-known feeling, for example: you’ve already run out of patience, but the snare triggers are still too muffled, while the guitar plucking sounds are way too dominant. It’s situations like this that have encouraged us to seek new ways of EQing and thus put an end to spending countless hours of studio time on postproduction. The entropy:EQ+ simplifies the editing process for the impact noise of drums, guitars and other plucking instruments, and introduces you to a whole new world of postproduction creativity.

Features

Straighten out your mix:

Enhanced Drumbeat at the Tap of a Finger - The entropy:EQ+ identifies the different frequencies of an audio track and allows you to filter out the individual drums of a drum set or percussion ensemble. This means you can refine that solo on the toms and rim clicks. It catches all of the impact noise – as weak or fierce as it may be. Ultimately, this lets you edit each frequency separately so that you end up with the track of your dreams without the nightmare of frustration

Intelligible in All Language: From that quote for the TV report to the breathy final words of your new song – the entropy:EQ+ makes sure that every single word in your mix is rendered in clear and crystalline sound. To do so, those inharmonic consonants – so important to an optimized level of understanding – must be raised. The plug-in assists you in an easy, straightforward way, and amplifies the noise portions of speech at your command

Rhythmic or Ruining? Sometimes it’s the grove of the string instruments that brings a record to life – whether it’s the plectrum sound of an electric guitar or the rhythmic plucks of a violin string. Other times this impact noise can ruin the harmonic sound of your record. The entropy:EQ+ provides a handy solution in both cases. By either amplifying or silencing exactly those sound portions, you’re sure to get the results you want
