Want a less than ordinary EQ? Check out Sound Magic NeoEQ, an equalizer effect plugin (Windows) that is said to be totally different from traditional EQ. According to the manufacturer, NeoEQ is a revolutionary concept in equalizer technology, since it is able to automatically detect and lock in the most audible / sensitive frequency.

Its ability to automatically detect and lock in any frequency makes the whole EQ process much easier than traditional EQ methods, and much more efficient and effective than traditional parametric EQ, Sound Magic says. A key feature that Neo EQ provides is its capability to analyze a piece of audio first, then hold the frequency characteristics of it and apply that setting to other audio tracks. In this way, you can clone a static EQ setting from one audio track to another easily.

Sound Magic comments on Neo EQ: "Mixing engineers spend years learning how to hear individual frequencies and fine tune the EQ on each and every track they mix. Neo EQ does a lot of the work that a mixing engineer did in the past. Send an audio signal to Neo EQ and it will analyze that input and find just the right frequencies for you. You won't need to hunt for the right frequency by yourself anymore or worry about whether you can find the correct one. After Neo EQ finds that perfect frequency for you, you can adjust the bass, the basic frequency and the harmonic for it. This not only saves a lot of time, it can give you amazing insight on how those with years of training zero in on exactly what needs fixing. And Neo EQ takes the guesswork out of messing with the Bandwidth / Q settings. Sound Magic has analyzed over 200 mixing engineer's methods on EQ and developed three special algorithms for bandwidth. Pick your musical / engineering style and Bandwidth will be automatically calculated for you."
