Ever felt that your standard EQ just doesn't cut it? Introducing the game changer: dynamic EQ! Perfect for achieving pinpoint accuracy in frequency processing, it adapts based on your input signal levels, making it a must-have in your audio toolbox.

Meet TDR Nova: Your New Secret Weapon!

Thanks to Tokyo Dawn Labs, TDR Nova is here, and—get this—it’s completely free! This powerful plugin acts not only as a dynamic EQ but also as a parallel 4-band EQ, complete with high and low pass filters and a standard compressor functionality.

You can snag TDR Nova in your preferred format: VST2, VST3, AU, or AAX. This tool makes transitioning from traditional EQs to dynamic ones seamless and intuitive.

Navigating the Nova Interface: Simplicity Meets Power!

At first glance, Nova’s interface resembles your average parametric EQ, featuring a node-based display with a built-in frequency analyzer. Each of its four bands is fully customizable with curve shapes, Q width, frequency range from 10Hz to 40kHz, and gain control from +/- 18dB.

You’ll love the easy band selection in the middle activation row, where you can solo bands for detailed listening and even re-order them by frequency—a total time-saver!

Dive into Dynamic EQ—Here’s How!

Nova's compressor offers a soft knee design with flexible attack and release times, perfect for musical dynamic control over specific frequencies. Ideal for tackling sibilance, this is where TDR Nova shines! Simply activate a single band around 5kHz with a peak shape, set your attack and release to about 20ms, and adjust the threshold for some immediate gain reduction.

To target troublesome frequencies, utilize the GR Delta feature to visualize your adjustments, guaranteeing precision in reducing unwanted sounds.

Tackle Complex Mixes with Confidence!

When dealing with busy drum loops or layered sounds, lean on Nova's dynamic EQ functionality for crisp results. Activate two bands for specific frequencies—150Hz for a snare, and 3kHz for a ride. Tweak them until you achieve the perfect balance.

Maximize Your Mix with External Side Chain Control!

For even more control, TDR Nova allows for external side chaining, perfect for resolving clashes, such as between kick and bass. Set up Nova on your bass track, select the kick as your side chain source, and watch your mix lock in like never before!
