REQ: Acustica Audio - ACQUA Purple P-1

Purple P-1 a legendary tube EQ plug-in, that can give your tracks the massive bass, silky air, and addictive warmth that made this a studio standard. Some say that it sounds like magic, its well thought out features can make any audio sound richer.

The two-band design basically gives you flexible low shelving, along with broad-bandwidth midrange peak control. Because the boost and attenuate controls work independently you can use “the trick” to add weight to the bass region while also notching a bit above the cutoff point, by boosting and attenuating at the same time (try it on kick drum and you’ll never look back). On the high-frequencies, you can set separate ranges for the boost and attenuation. Using this technique, you can boost at 12kHz and cut at 5k, adding “air” to a track without increasing presence.
