Sonnox has introduced the Oxford Dynamic EQ. A spokesperson had this to say about it...
"Have you tried to control boomy or harsh frequencies using a traditional static EQ but found that you compromised the integrity of the original recording? Then found that writing automation lost you precious time and sounded unnatural? Perhaps you've heard that a multiband compressor is the answer but it left you scratching your head?
Then the Oxford Dynamic EQ is the tool you need. It provides just the required amount of processing when you need it and takes very little time to set up. 5 bands of the ultra-musical Type-3 EQ curve can be overlapped to bring unparalleled control and characteristic Sonnox transparency to your single sources, instrument groups and 2-bus alike.
It also introduces unique features such as the option to trigger the effect by onset (transient) detection. Particularly useful when working with drums and percussion. Additionally, per band mid-side processing can be used to enhance a vocal without affecting side-channel balance or to open up a mix by focusing low end energy in the centre."
