Developer’s Description
Based on Blue Cat’s Liny EQ technology, Blue Cat’s Widening Liny EQ is a 9 bands linear phase Mid/Side equalizer. Thanks to Blue Cat’s unique widening technology, you can manage equalization of Middle / Side parts of the stereo signal separately. And best of all, you can choose the virtual center of the signal it lets you control where you want the equalization to take place in the stereo field.This is the ultimate solution to widen your stereo image with precision, without adding phase artefacts to your signal: you can choose to enhance treble on the sides and bass on the middle to strengthen an original stereo recording, or completely modify the way your instrument is positioned in the mix, choosing to set the virtual middle 30% percent on the left and modify its spectrum accurately. The effect also works on mono signal since you can modify the perception of the stereo image by choosing the virtual center positionBased on Blue Cat’s Liny EQ technology, Blue Cat’s Widening Liny EQ is a 9 bands linear phase Mid/Side equalizer.

Everything is possible, with minimal latency! The full automation support provided by this plugin offers a zipper-free real-time and continuous change of parameters. If you whish to use this plug-in as a simple equalizer, you can choose to link mid/side faders and get the same result as the standard Liny EQ. If you want a Left / Right equalizer, just set the center as Right and ‘Mid’ will become left and ‘Side’ Right.
Additional information about Mid/Side processing and stereo widening can be found in this paper.
The built-in Blue Cat’s skinning engine enables you to skin this plug-in: adapt the user interface to your needs and customize the look of your Blue Cat’s plugin! 3 skins are included in the install package. This web sites offers you to download more skins or learn how to create new ones. It’s all free!
Features
Stereo Mid / Side Linear phase equalizer (no phase distortion).
The equalizer can be placed with great precision in the stereo field.
Separate Center / Sides equalizing for customized stereo widening or narrowing effect.
customizable +-40 dB range.
Two different EQ shapes available.
Automatic gain compensation.
Very short latency: 2.9 ms (128 samples at 44,1 kHz).
Multiple channels link modes.
Window opacity management: make the plugin window transparent.
Blue Cat Audio Standards:Blue Cat’s Liny EQ is an 8 bands linear phase equalizer with very low latency and comprehensive visual feedback: thanks to its highly optimized linear phase kernel, it processes the signal without phase distortion, with an unusually short latency (less than 3 milliseconds).
Detailed Description
Liny EQ’s wide range of gain (+-40dB) and multiple filter shapes make it very flexible for a graphic EQ, letting you create unique EQ curves. The dual channels version offers independent settings for the left/right or mid/side channels, with flexible linking capabilities for an optimal workflow.
The highly customizable user interface includes a first class spectrum analyzer and spectrogram viewer. It lets you choose the best layout and display options to adapt the plug-in to your own workflow.
Thanks to its ability to update the EQ curve continuously using MIDI or automation and its additionnal “Mix” control, dynamic equalization tasks can be performed easily when used together with any of our control generation plug-ins.
