Why develop yet one more minimum phase parametric equalizer (PEQ) when there’s already hundreds on the market? The answer is simple…’Cuz there was room for improvement! It was customers of the original LinearPhase PEQ Red and Orange who asked Algorithmix to develop a classic EQ, for recording and mixing tasks, with unparalleled purity and transparency. Over several years, our Dr. Christoph closely analyzed many of the best out there, and compiled a vast knowledgebase of analog EQ best practices. Cherry picking from that, he implemented not just one or two, but an entire collection of trad minimal phase EQs. The result? A distillation of analog antecedents, while others are based on new ideas. We know you’ll enjoy our dozen variations of blue, newly revised by MAAT, and find your favorite sound.

The Not So Dirty Dozen
We wanted to lift analog to another level, so we reverse engineered a variety of well respected hardware EQs, creating idealized digital versions from that inspiration. Rather than models or simulations that carry analog baggage, SantaCruzEQ has no noise, distortion or other secondary effects inherited from analog.

SantaCruzEQ12 is the most complete collection of classic equalizer architectures ever assembled into one package. You get precise, idealized examples of legendary analog equalizer circuitry, complemented by progressive new models. Whether it’s vintage, modern, or experimental, SantaCruzEQ is a sonic sandbox for every mixing and mastering engineer to mess around in.

BFF
The equalizer is perhaps the oldest and the most popular of sound processing tools. From its earliest days, the main function was correction or enhancement by boosting or cutting certain frequencies.
For a century, engineers have developed countless equalizers. A few became legend, our thEQorange is one. The most popular version in recording and post is the parametric equalizer or PEQ, first perfected by Massenburg in 1972. It offers maximum flexibility with only three controls. Properly used, the PEQ is a powerful tool and the best friend of every audio engineer in the quest for perfect sound. As Spidey (and Voltaire) always reminds us though, “With great power comes great responsibility.” When designed by a clueless or cost–constrained software engineer, it can be your greatest sonic enemy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

* You need the installation of R2R-WAIFU.
* CodeMeter runtime installation is not required.
* Our release runs faster and uses less memory than legit version.

NOTE : SantaCruzEQ has issue in preset handling in the GUI. Legit version has
same issue. Saving/Recalling in the project does not have issue. Just
stay away from Preset Manager in the GUI.

From Developer :

> Yes, we all know that copy protection is a pain in the butt for everyone,
> for both you and us as well.
> Before we made a final decision on our copy protection system, we have
> carefully researched the market to offer you the most secure and flexible
> solution. We found that in Wibu-Systems.

They researched the market but not technical things. It's also doubtful what
is the actual flexible part in WIBU, comparing to the iLok or eLicenser.

> Good copy protection gives you two major advantageous:
> Your investment is protected. We offer high performance, high value
> products with extraordinary audio quality based on decades of research.

You will get higher performace without that slow protection.

> Having weak copy protection empowers pirates to undermine your competitive
> advantage.

How can they know WIBU is strong and others are weak? Did they perform
reverse engineering and compared commercial protections?
Why pirates can take advantage over the legit version? Who decided putting
disadvantage to their product?
