Eventide SplitEQ is a groundbreaking parametric EQ plugin that redefines audio equalization using patented Structural Split™ technology. Instead of treating the entire signal as one, it intelligently separates incoming audio into two distinct streams: Transient (rapid attacks, noise, plosives, and sibilance) and Tonal (sustained notes, harmonics, tone, and ambiance). This allows for independent EQ and panning on each stream, delivering surgical precision for repairs while unlocking creative possibilities that traditional EQs cannot match.
SplitEQ excels at four core tasks:
- Repairing nasty problems like “kick boom” without losing thump.
- Rebalancing tracks in a mix.
- Enhancing punch, detail, and sheen.
- Widening the stereo field.
It eliminates common EQ trade-offs; for example, it can cut vocal plosives without thinning low-end richness or soften guitar strums while keeping cabinet reverb intact. The real-time spectrum analyzer displays Transient and Tonal streams separately, providing “X-ray vision” into your audio for faster troubleshooting.
With a world-class 8-band parametric EQ, pristine musical filters, and extensive controls, SplitEQ works on individual tracks, full mixes, or two-track loops. It includes over 150 factory presets organized into Enhance, Repair, Rebalance, and Widen categories, plus A/B comparison, Undo/Redo, a resizable GUI, and three color themes (Original, Dark, and Colorblind Accessible). Compatible with all major DAWs via VST2/3, AU, and AAX, it is available for macOS and Windows.
