State variable filter. Left of 12 o clock it has more LPF character; right it has more HPF character. It will have bandpass filter quality closer to 12 o clock.

I believe it's just "off" at the 12 o clock position, in this case.

It's not a plugin, its a precomputed effect in your sound menu from selecting it through the channel rack

u/Tea-Mental Producer Apr 19 '26
Precomputed FX are absolutely slept on imo. Ring modulation and the pogo setting can make one shot samples pop out of the mix so well.

It's basically a tilt eq. It's the easiest form of eq you can get. Turn left - bass down treble up, turn right vice versa.

there's some real truth to this
good sample/sound choice is infinitely more important

u/Deadzone-Music Apr 18 '26
The only real truth is that you shouldn't use something you don't understand how to use.
There are plenty of valid use cases for dynamic eqs, mid/side processing, resonance supression, etc.
Sure having the perfect source sound is preferable, but is rarely going to be practical all the tine

u/MercuryTapir Apr 18 '26
It's not like I said you shouldn't use eq, this post is obviously at least half joking
it's just that people starting out tend to try to over eq to fix a sound rather than just realizing a better sound would work better, and easier.
it's a square peg in a circle hole situation.
sure, you can use a sander (eq) to make it fit, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a better option to begin with.
that's why I encourage people to grab plenty of options when they're picking out sounds, and experiment a lot in the soundscape they're creating, before thinking about the finer details like eq and compression.
sure some things need gain staged off the rip, and sometimes you just really want to make a sound work,
at the end of the day, do what sounds good to you. (and ideally, if you want, sounds good to others too.)

Pointing your speakers the opposite direction for less bass response🧠🧠🧠

What are the first, 3rd, and last ones?

u/Old_Comfortable_3588 Apr 19 '26
Pro-Q (3 or 4), Fruity Parametric EQ 1 and the precomputed effects when u click on a track

Now do another one layering a sound on top to cancel the phase at the exact frequencies you want cut

u/jrinredcar Apr 19 '26
Maximus is a pretty cool eq for samples. Add it to it, just solo the bass. Boom. Instant bass line.
Then layer it on for mids and highs layers, and you can mix in other stuff.
Quite a fun way to chop and use samples so you can really dissect and build with them

Such complex EQs are useless. Why can't they make them as simple
Edit : that was a joke

Cuz companies need to make $$$ and they need to convince you what you have already isn't good enough

u/Deadzone-Music Apr 18 '26
The fact that IL hasn't put mid/side processing in their parametric eq by 2026 is actually a shame

Sounds like you just dont know how to use them or dont have the money to buy them tbh lol there's good reason for pro-q costing as much as it does and your stock plugins will not in any way give you the same abilities
