Paint Sound with Colour, Not Chaos
Let’s talk FXEQ—iZotope’s latest Catalyst-series plugin that nixes the spaghetti routing and endless stacks, and lets you paint your effects directly onto your sound.
What Makes It Cool:
- Five distinct effect modules—Saturate, Reverb, Delay, Modulate, Lo-Fi—live at your fingertips.
- You don’t layer chains; you sculpt tone by painting frequency bands with a six-band parametric EQ.
- Each effect runs in parallel, then passes through a global zero-latency limiter—smooth and clean.
- Works in VST3, AU, and AAX on Mac and Windows.
- Best part? It’s only $49 (or £49) — creative power without breaking the bank.
Why It’s Worth Your Time:
- You instantly get targeted control over what frequency gets what kind of effect—no more slathering your mix with overly broad reverb or saturation.
- FXEQ encourages experimentation. Want muddy warmth or crystal shimmer? Just paint those frequencies and dial in—pure creative flow.
- It’s simple enough to sketch sound fast, but nuanced enough to do serious mix shaping.
Your Move:
- Have a dry vocal, drum, or synth track waiting for “something”? FXEQ could be your next creative brush.
- Try using it on your chorus vocals to “paint” dreamy reverb only on the airy top-end, or slap saturation on just the mids of a guitar loop for body without harshness.
- Curious how it works in action? I can drop a short demo or walkthrough next.
Let’s keep this rolling:
- What problem in your mixes do you wish you could fix with one plugin?
- Or, what “painting trick” would you try first if you had FXEQ in front of you?
