Equalizer plugin modeling the classic Datamix console EQ with vintage character and preamp emulation for mixing applications

Summary

PSP Datamix A567 is a plugin that emulates the equalizer module from the classic first-generation Datamix console, renowned for its distinctive analog sound. It is officially endorsed by Eddie Kramer, who recorded legendary artists using the original consoles, and offers a characterful sonic palette suitable for tracking and mixing.

Features

  • Three-band equalizer with Low, Mid, and High bands offering various boost and cut options including peaking, shelving, and notch types.

  • Modeled preamp section on input and transformer emulated output section adding to sonic character.
  • Selectable sound character modes including specific channel tuning, average setting, and an "ideal" setting matching precise frequencies on the control labels.
  • Adjustable left/right channel tuning spread for stereo width customization.
  • Alt Q mode to provide a gentler EQ effect by fixing Q values per band regardless of frequency.

  • Over 100 presets, including some designed by Eddie Kramer, to start mixes effectively.
