Mixland and Kiive Audio have partnered up to bring you this easy to use passive tube
eq with grit control so what is grit control? we'll look at that in just a bit but the Mixland
Tilt eq powered by Kiive Audio is available on Mac or Windows in VST3, AU, and AAX format so
what can the Tilt EQ bring to your mixes and how does it sound well let's check that out as you
can see it has a very simple user interface the controls are very well laid out and we'll get
into those controls in just a bit but right now let's check out how it sounds on a drum track
and this is just the default settings i haven't changed anything here at
all and it does add a little something to the track even without changing anything so i'll
start with it on and then i'll bypass it and then i'll start to adjust some of the settings here
alright so it sounds pretty good on the drums and it's very easy to dial in your sound here so let's
look at some of the controls now you have your low control which will increase or attenuate your low
frequencies and then you have your high control here which will attenuate or increase your high
frequencies and then you can see up here you can choose which frequency center you want to focus
on for both your low and high so i like it at 60 and 8 which is close to what i would typically
use on a passive eq anyway so then you have this link control down here and if you push that in
and then we touch it you can see when you increase the low it decreases the high at the same time
and then if you decrease the low it's going to increase the high at the same
time so that's kind of a neat thing there and you can see the little graphic in the center
shows you which way is more weighted so we have more weight to the low end like this
and more weight to the high end when it's like that kind of a neat little graphic there
and it's only on when you have it in link mode you can see it doesn't move when we
don't have it in link mode so now i want to try this out on a bass guitar track and we'll see
how that works so i'm just going to start with this on i'll do some bypasses here and there
all right so that's not too bad of a sound there now let's talk about the grit control
so as you can see when we increase the grit control it makes those tubes glow so this is
the control to add some tube saturation to your mix so it can go from all out tube distortion
to just very subtle tube saturation so let's just play with that a little bit
so i don't mind that right there it kind of just starts to break up the base a little bit and
adds a little more character to it so i was messing around with this a little earlier and
i decided to try it on the mix bus because why not so let's try that right now so this song
is just really in the very early stages of the mix i don't really have anything
EQ'd except for the guitars there and just whatever EQ'ing i did on the bass and the drums
so let's just check this out on the master track and see what we can do
it actually thickens up the mix quite nice and if you're just looking to add a little more low end
to your tracks you could throw this on there and maybe even keep the highs neutral in the center
and just use it to add some low end and thicken up your mix a little bit it's a pretty cool plugin
