Free VST EQ with compare feature?

[Mark Bastable]

I watched a vid recently - one of Mike's? - that mentioned a free parametric EQ with the ability to compare two tracks' EQ on a graphic display. And now, of course, I can't find the damn thing.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I think you mean TDR Nova? Yes its free, versatile and holds up well against commercial plugins. Highly recomended!

[Mark Bastable]

Yeah, I thought it might be that one, but I've been through the manual - https://docs.tokyodawn.net/nova-ge-manual - and I can't find any reference to the ability to compare two tracks. In the vid, a guitar and keyboard were shown on the same display (one blue and one red) and you could adjust the EQ on each separately.

I may just be searching for the wrong term in the documentation. There's a lot of it.

I'm sorry, i thought you meant master matching.

[Mark Bastable]

I should have been clearer. Thank you for giving it a shot.

Maybe you're thinking of the sidechain kludge that lets you show use multiple inputs of SPAN to display two tracks. It's a clunky kluge, though, and more trouble than it's worth, IMO.

There are a number of products out there that do a much better job of this, and while not free they are fairly inexpensive. The best of those would be MMultiAnalyzer from Meldaproduction. It's $72 but periodically goes on sale for half that. Then there's the multi-channel version of SPAN, called SPAN Plus, for $45 and does 95% of what MMultiAnalyzer does. Both are very easy to use. Bluecat Audio's FreqAnalyst Multi is similar but adds a couple unique features for $99, and has been on sale in the past but less often than Melda's.

Thanks for the links. I'll check them out and maybe resort to actually ponying up some money.

But, you know how it is - I've got fixated on finding this thing, and I'm going to give it a couple of days before I give up.

EDIT: Found it. I misremembered. It's not free...

You're in luck. MMultiAnalyzer for 15 EUR at VSTBuzz. Time to check under the couch cushions for change!
