Volume A and B
The Dynamic EQ Chameleon
Jet is a groundbreaking dynamic equalizer and filter suite that functions as a versatile "host" for various hardware emulations. Using Acustica’s A.I.M. (Acoustic Interpolation Modeling) technology, Jet allows you to load different "volumes" representing legendary analog gear—giving you the curves of an SSL, Neve, or API in a powerful dynamic format.
Key Features
-
Dynamic Processing: Unlike a standard EQ, Jet reacts to the incoming signal, allowing you to compress or expand specific frequency bands. This is essential for controlling "harsh" frequencies only when they peak.
-
Modular Library System: Jet is expandable. You can acquire different "Volumes" to add new EQ shapes and sonic signatures to the plugin.
-
Jet Finger: A dedicated module within the suite designed for ultra-fast parallel dynamic EQing, perfect for modern mixing workflows.
-
Ultra-Low Latency: Optimized with the latest Hyper technology, Jet is designed to be used across many channels without killing your CPU or introducing significant delay.
-
A.I. Tuning: The algorithms ensure that the interaction between the dynamics and the EQ curves remains musical and phase-coherent at all times.
Best Used For
-
Problem Solving: Removing "boxiness" or "harshness" from vocals and overheads dynamically.
-
Bus Processing: Adding "weight" to a drum bus that only triggers when the kick drum hits.
-
Mastering: Subtle tonal balancing that adapts to the loudest and quietest parts of a song.
Pro Tip: Use Jet on vocals to dynamically attenuate the 2-3 kHz region. This keeps the voice present and clear but only "tames" the harshness when the singer gets particularly loud or sibilant.
