Black Salt Audio has announced the release of Instinct EQ, a new EQ plugin that aims to put your ears back in charge, giving the user a musical way to shape their sound without thinking about frequencies or decibels.
Instead of chasing what “looks right,” you’ll make faster, bolder decisions based on what the song actually needs.
Because the best mixes aren’t measured… they’re felt.
Key Features
- Four-band EQ (High, Dual Mid, Low) designed with broad, musical curves for intuitive tonal shaping, allowing for natural boosts and cuts without phasey or harsh artifacts.
- High and Low bands offer selectable shelf and peak modes for flexible tone shaping, while Mid bands feature switchable wide and narrow (tight) bell curves for both broad enhancement and focused correction.
- Dual Mid bands with overlapping coverage enable precise control over critical midrange content, supporting both subtle tonal balancing and detailed sculpting.
- Independent “Surgery” module with four notch filters (two high-frequency, two low-frequency), each available in ultra-narrow and moderately narrow Q settings for transparent resonance removal and problem frequency control.
- Designed for purely auditory decision-making, eliminating reliance on visual analyzers while maintaining precise and predictable filter behavior.
- Optional analog-mode processing introduces subtle harmonic enhancement and transient smoothing for added warmth, cohesion, and perceived depth.
Pricing & Availability
Instinct EQ is available for macOS and Windows in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for the introductory price of $39 (Reg. $59).
