FreqBlender

The multiband mix knob. Deeper control for all of your effects.

FreqBlender is a multiband dry/wet mix control. Easily adjust the amount of compression, distortion, or any other effect to your exacting standard in dedicated low, mid, and high bands. Go even further with per-band mid/side controls. All with minimal dynamic phase shift, no latency, and low CPU impact.

FreqBlender emerged from experiments with parallel bus processing. I often liked what I was hearing, but wanted to tone it down in some frequencies. EQ helped, but also shifted tonal balance in ways that were tricky to manage. FreqBlender ties it all together by balancing cuts to the wet signal with boosts in the dry signal, maintaining tone and level while providing precise control over processing impact.

FreqBlender extends the concept of the dry/wet mix knob in ways you didn’t know you needed. Subtle yet powerful adjustments to dynamics & tone that were previously difficult to achieve can now be dialed in quickly and easily, using processors you already have.

Features

Level Matching

Both automatic and manual level matching workflows are supported. Manual level matching is assisted by input signal level indicators using short term LUFS.

Automatic level matching can be performed with a single click, or engaged via a special “latching mode” which allows continuous loudness matching between the wet & dry signals. Using this mode, parallel effects can be freely manipulated in creative and expressive ways while the plugin ensures consistent signal level.

Zero Latency, Minimum Phase Shelving Filters

Unlike with band-splitting crossover designs, where phase shift is always maximal, FreqBlender uses minimum phase shelving filters that provide phase shift proportional to processing.

  • Per-band mid/side controls shift processing in the stereo image.
  • When the Gentle switch is engaged, 1st order (6 dB/octave) filters are used instead of the default 2nd order (12 dB/octave) filters.

Other Features

  • Unique signal routing scheme via sidechain input for maximum compatibility with DAWs & 3rd party plugins. Either wet or dry signal can be routed via sidechain input. *
  • All parameters fully automatable with click-free performance.
  • Bypass switch routes dry signal only to the plugin output.

* AAX format routing differs since sidechains are mono in Pro Tools. See the manual for details.
