Key Features
The Universal Audio Hitsville EQ Collection is a collection of two soulful EQs to unlock the tone of the legendary Motown Sound. This collection includes custom-built graphic equalizers that were used by iconic artists such as The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, and The Jackson 5. With seven overlapping bands that cover fundamental frequencies for music production, this collection allows you to shape your tracks with precision. Each band provides +/- 8 dB of boost or cut, giving you full control over your sound. Whether you're working on vocals, drums, bass, or guitar, you can dial in rich-sounding tones that replicate the classic Motown sound.
It also includes a mastering EQ that offers full stereo control and expanded frequency options. With this EQ, you can process stereo channels individually or link them together. You can even switch to mid/side operation to adjust the center and sides of the stereo image independently. And with the option to cut the frequency centers of the entire EQ by half, or set band centers independently, you'll have even more flexibility in your production workflow.
