can an extremely simple free EQ bring some character and sound good on your tracks
well in this video we're going to check out the FreeTilt! plugin from Mixland and Kiive Audio
and we'll see what it can bring to your projects now this is a slimmed down version of the Tilt
EQ plugin that was released not too long ago and let's check it out you can see it has a nice clean
user interface not a whole lot going on you have your tilt control which is your EQ control turn it
to the left and it's going to add some thickness and low end to whatever track you have it on
and you turn it to the right it's going to bring up the highs and attenuate the lows and you can
see the little scale animates while you're turning it which is kind of neat if you like that sort of
thing then you also have this grit control down here and this controls how much of the tube
saturation that you add to your signal so you can see when you turn it up these tubes start to glow
turn it down and they stop glowing another kind of neat thing in this user interface
and this tube stage comes after the EQ stage so this is on your output and then you also have an
input and output knob but let's check this out now on some 808 style drums so i'm just going to reset
this and i'm going to just show you what it sounds like clean this is what the drums sound like clean
a little bit of character there but not a whole lot it's a pretty dry sounding kit so
let's add our FreeTilt! and see what we could do with it
i can picture something like this being used on like a parallel
drum buss and you would just add that in so i'm just going to try this out on a parallel drum
track now and we'll see what it sounds like as we mix that heavily compressed EQ'd sound in
that's kind of cool right there using it on a parallel track like that it kind of gives you
a mix knob which isn't available on the plugin itself so that's one use you could find for this
now let's try this out on a bass guitar track so i'm going to copy that up there
and we'll solo our bass guitar alright so we have it on our bass guitar here
right now it's just at the default settings so let's hear what it sounds like
a pretty dry bass guitar right there so let's add some character with the free tilt plugin
if you like your bass guitars a little more trebly this doesn't sound too bad right here
maybe something like this for a bass guitar with a little more
low end but still have some of that tube saturation in there
i kind of like that right there so let's listen to this all together now
now here it is with both of these disabled
yet just these two instances on the drums and on the bass guitar have added a lot of character to
