EQ Models
Crave EQ provides four high fidelity filter models:, Analog, Transparent, Digital (zero latency) and Linear. Here's a run down of what they all do:

Analog: It’s like enabling infinite oversampling in your DAW only it’s much cleverer and more efficient. Enjoy the beauty of analog Butterworth filters without digital side effects like pre-ringing and aliasing. Great for ears that love the natural sound of analog phase filtering. Low latency (48 samples at any sample rate) and ultra-low CPU.

Transparent: Digital wizardry that combines smooth analog filtering in the low end and linear phase processing in the high end. Provides a more cohesive mixing experience as higher frequencies remain in phase across tracks. Great for preserving the integrity of a mix when applying corrective or creative EQ across tracks.

Digital: Our zero-latency digital filter model faithfully maintain its shape up to Nyquist. To achieve zero latency it introduces more color at high frequencies than the other models due to large phase changes in this region.

Linear: Linear phase filtering comes at the expense of greater latency and, if not carefully applied in the low end, will generate pre-ringing artifacts. Apply this model with low Q and gentle slopes in the mid and high frequencies for colorless, corrective EQ.

Flawless sound: Developed in-house over multiple years, these EQ models are free of digital artifacts like aliasing and cramping. There is no added saturation, cross mixing or harmonics, just smooth and precise equalization.
