Hi everyone!

I would like to present to you the device I've made called 'Dynamic EQ'.

Features:

8 bands (2 dedicated low-cut and high-cut + 6 variable-type bands);
3 types of filters (low shelf, bell, high shelf);
3 modes (stereo, left/right, mid/center);
2 types of independent sidechain (internal and external);
Configurable slope factor for low-cut and high-cut;
Dynamic EQ can do both—compression and expansion;
Configurable attack and release times for dynamic EQ.

The December 2025 Update also added:
Resonance and frequencies clash detection (triggered by ALT+click on UI);
Color mode (triggered by CTRL+click on UI).

(The complete list of available shortcut commands can be found in the UI Info panel.)

Finally got a chance to try this. Amazing work. Lots of possibilities (precise compression/expansion of certain frequencies, and of course solving clashing frequencies between tracks!) in a UI that feels perfectly native. Love the resonance/clash detection!!

This is fantastic! feels like the much needed EQ8 upgrade ive been hoping for!

On the dynamic EQ maxforlive topic it's hard to not mention the OG mind-blowing Equation by Incandescent.
