May 17th, 2012: Voxengo CurveEQ update version 3.1 is now available
for download. Voxengo CurveEQ, available in AudioUnit and VST
plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for Mac OS X
(v10.5 and later), and Windows computers, is a spline equalizer
plugin for professional music and audio production applications.

Version 3.1 update includes the following changes:

* Spectrum matching is now working correctly in all groups.
* The "Load CSV" and "Save CSV" text file functions added.

CurveEQ implements spectrum matching technology that allows you to
transfer spectrum’s shape of one recording to another. In other
words, this allows you to “copy” frequency balance of existing
time-proven mixes so that other mixes that are still in the works
may have a chance to sound better. This technology also greatly
helps in music mastering since using it allows you to easily lessen
any dramatic differences in the area of frequency balance between
various tracks.

CurveEQ features:

* 3 EQ curves per channel group
* Linear- and minimum-phase filtering
* Spectrum matching
* Freeform EQ curve drawing mode
* CSV file import/export
* Real-time FFT spectrum analyzer
* Stereo and multi-channel processing
* Internal channel routing
* Channel grouping
* Mid/side processing
* 64-bit floating point processing
* Preset manager
* Undo/redo history
* A/B comparisons
* Contextual hint messages
* All sample rates support
* 53 ms compensated processing latency

Voxengo CurveEQ is available for purchase on-line for USD 99.95.

next major version of its OldSkoolVerb plugin - a freeware
algorithmic reverberation AU and VST plugin for professional music
production applications. OldSkoolVerb now supports most user
interface features latest Voxengo plugins offer, including undo/redo
history, preset manager, user interface coloration and others.

Most importantly, this updated version 2.0 features an improved
reverb algorithm which became more robust, more stereo-balanced and
more parametrically flexible.

OldSkoolVerb implements a kind of “classic” stereo reverb algorithm
which is technically simple yet optimal. It also produces a very
clear spatial image that blends well with the mix.

OldSkoolVerb offers you a comprehensive set of parameters permitting
you to achieve various reverbs ranging from plate to hall reverb
sound. OldSkoolVerb is best suited for non-percussive and
soft-attack sounds like vocals, piano and pad sounds.
