  • Page 5 INTRODUCTION The analog parallel equalizer design goes back to the very beginning of the audio mixing his- tory (referring devices from e.g. Pultec and Lang) and is famous for the very musical and interacting frequency response between all bands. Beside the usual suspects (Pultec style EQs), one can also find similar designs in modern classics like the Chandler Tone Control or the UBK Clariphonic, just to name a few.

  • Page 6: Chapter 2: Reference

    Reference 2.1. JUMP START The plug-in is available in two different versions which are exactly the same but just offer dif- ferent internal gain staging. Use the black version if you mix at rather conservative target levels around -18dB RMS. Use the blue version instead if you mix at hotter levels above.

  • Page 7: Utilizing Drive And Mojo

    2 Reference are summed together afterwards. Each EQ has its very own stateful saturator and they are activated as soon as the DRIVE/MOJO section is on. If an EQ is bypassed, a dry signal is summed to the other EQs instead. Tip: If you would like to take most advantage of the stateful saturation process then always activate all EQs whether you apply a boost with them or not.

    INTERNAL GAIN STAGING In both versions, 18dB headroom (at least) is guaranteed and above that level IMD/ALI- ASING/CLIPPING artifacts may drastically increase depending on the DRIVE and MOJO settings. Use the DRIVE option to adjust the internal gainstaging for the three stateful saturators within a range of +/-9dB.

  • Page 9: Chapter 3: Addendum

    If too much boosting is applied, just back it off with the MIX knob. ThrillseekerXTC is heavily CPU optimized to allow high instance counts in a mix. It's good practise to use it in varying, slight doses on each channel instead of applying just one instance on a bus and expecting miracles.
