TDR VOS SlickEQ v1.3.8 x64 x86 VST VST3 AU AAX WiN macOS [FREE] screenshot
FREE | WiN+macOS | 60MB
TDR VOS SlickEQ is a mixing/mastering equalizer designed for ease of use, musical flexibility and impeccable sound.

Three (and a half) filter-bands arranged in a classic Low/Mid/High semi-parametric layout offer fast and intuitive access to four distinct EQ modes, each representing a set of distinct EQ curves and behaviors. An elaborate auto gain option automatically compensates for changes of perceived loudness during EQ operation. Optionally, SlickEQ allows to exclusively process either the stereo sum or stereo difference (i.e. “stereo width”) without additional sum/difference encoding.

In order to warm up the material with additional harmonic content, SlickEQ offers a switchable EQ non-linearity and an output stage with 4 different saturation models. These options are meant to offer subtle and interesting textures, rather than obvious distortion. The effect is made to add the typical “mojo” often associated with classy audio gear.

An advanced 64bit multirate processing structure practically eliminates typical problems of digital EQ implementations such as frequency warping, quantization distortion and aliasing.

Beside the primary controls, the plug-in comes with an array of additional helpers: Advanced preset management, undo/redo, quick A/B comparison, copy & paste, an online help, editable labels, mouse-wheel support and much more.

TDR might have the best free plugins out there.

You need this.

Agreed 100%
This is one of the plugins I started with years back; it helped me learn to *really mix with my ears, how to listen for how curves interact to mold sound, but the GE version (which is often on sale for $10,) allows you to pop up the spectrum as well, so you can see how the curves interact, which I think can be beneficial. And, like a lot of people I know who make/mix music in all different genres, SlickEQ GE is hotkey-ed for quick access.
Tokyo Dawn Labs deserve al the praise they get for this, and their entire line-up.

Blind tested with ALL major plugins. Many times.
TDR sonic quality is INSANE.
Kotelnikov is THE best sounding digital compressor. He did'nt mess impulse response of percussion transients. Same as Nova and Slick EQ. Most plugins will smear sharpness of transients. TDR don't!

Top 3 quality-price ratio filters ever.
Way ahead of its time, this product has 10 years.
It just had a rather not so popular UI thus appeal.

A lot of people tweaked for hours flat sounding API or SSL plugins back then because of their brand / coverage, while this one just sounded way more natural than the fake funkers. TBH the Waves API 550 has been so used that it became a classic of its own, but far away from its analog reference.

TDR share their filter tech for free.
Just grab them.

Yeah, TDR free plugins are really pro quality. Even more than some quite expensive pro quality plugins. You gotta pay the graphic designers who make those 20MB+ GUIs, though. TDR plugins, especially this EQ which was my go-to EQ, Kotelnikov, and Molotok, are the ones beside Valhalla, Voxengo, and Klanghelm plugins that I sorely miss on Linux. But I make do with u-he's, TAL's...

Oof, I could never move to Linux, not with most devs' general disinterest towards that OS. On a definite upside tho, you don't have to contend with the whirlwind of shit that is Win10/11. Count your blessing.
