Transi-Q
The deal
$29 at Plugin Boutique (down from $49). Sale ends August 27.
What it is
Transi-Q is a transient-preserving equalizer from Three-Body Technology. Its signature feature is proportional-Q filters - three bell bands that automatically tighten their bandwidth as you apply more gain or cut, so heavy moves stay focused rather than spilling across the frequency spectrum. The plugin is designed to shape tone while keeping the attack and definition of the original source intact.
Who it's for
Mixing engineers who work heavily with drums, bass, or full mixes and need EQ that doesn't dull the impact of transient-heavy material. If you've ever found that boosting low mids or high mids with a standard EQ softened the punch, this is built to solve that.
Key features
- Proportional-Q bell filters that tighten bandwidth as gain increases, keeping shaping surgical even at extreme settings
- Three independent bell bands plus a high-shelf, low-shelf, and high-pass filter for complete frequency coverage
- Analog-inspired circuit design targeting a fast, smooth, punchy character
- Developed by Three-Body Technology, creators of the well-regarded Kirchhoff-EQ
