ReaEQ is a multi-band equalizer plug-in. By default there are four bands but bands can be added or removed as you wish.

A band is really a point on the graph made up of a frequency and a volume. Move the point up to increase the gain of that frequency in the output signal, move it down to decrease it. Move it left and right to set the frequency.

Controls

Common Controls

Move a fader to set a value or, to set a value precisely, type directly into the input box if it is not "greyed-out". Double Click a fader to return to its default value.

"Fine-tune" a value controlled by a fader by holding the Ctrl key while moving the fader.

  • Bandpass - Cuts everything but the set frequency
  • Band (deprecated) - don't use this one for new stuff, it's here for compatibility with older versions of ReaEQ
• Log()-scale automated frequencies -
• Frequency (Hz) - The frequency for this band, the input boxes are in Hz and MIDI note name
• Gain (dB) - Gain for this band
• Bandwidth (oct) - Literally the width of this band, how "wide" (left & right on the graph) its effect is.
• Add band - This will add a new band to the graph

• Reset defaults - Sets values for the current band back to their default settings
