Every mixing engineer knows that moment when a track sounds “off” but you can’t pinpoint exactly where. You spend 30 minutes sweeping through frequencies, making micro-adjustments, second-guessing every move. The mix still isn’t quite right.
The truth is, traditional EQ workflows make you hunt blindly. You’re using your ears in isolation, without visual confirmation of what’s actually happening in the frequency spectrum. Meanwhile, harmonic resonances and tonal imbalances hide in plain sight, making every decision feel like guesswork.
ZeroEQ is an intelligent automatic equalizer plugin designed to eliminate the time-consuming process of manual frequency hunting in audio mixing, offering a faster and more visual approach to achieving balanced sound.
Developed after 15 years of plugin creation and analysis of engineer workflows, ZeroEQ combines two complementary EQ approaches: HarmoniQ for automatic resonance removal and BalanceEQ for tonal spectrum balancing, all guided by real-time analysis.
The plugin utilizes an 8192-point FFT analysis that continuously scans audio to identify problematic frequencies and tonal imbalances, removing the need for manual sweeping and providing instant visual feedback for confident EQ decisions.
HarmoniQ intelligently identifies and corrects up to 30 harmonic resonances, smoothing out harshness and unwanted resonances transparently, while BalanceEQ shapes the overall frequency distribution for professional tonal balance, fixing issues like muddiness or lack of clarity.
After automatic correction, creative shaping is possible with intuitive Brightness and V-Shape controls, allowing engineers to customize the tonal character while maintaining their artistic vision and letting automation handle tedious tasks.
ZeroEQ is presented as a cost-effective solution, with a one-time cost of €39, offering a significant return on investment by saving an estimated 75% of time typically spent on manual frequency adjustments, potentially paying for itself within days.
The plugin is specifically designed for engineers who value workflow speed, transparent processing, and analysis-driven corrections over vintage analog character, and it includes features like optional constant loudness mode to prevent level bias during A/B comparisons.
Features include:
- Dual EQ engines
- 8192-point FFT analysis
- Up to 30 harmonic detection
- 36-band internal EQ precision
- Brightness control
- V-Shape tonal adjustment
- Constant loudness compensation
- Real-time visual feedback
ZeroEQ is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
