Beat Blue Monday by downloading IK Multimedia’s $100 T-RackS EQ 81 plugin for free: “legendary British warmth and tone with a few twists” By Ben Rogerson ( Computer Music , Future Music , emusician ) published about 6 hours ago Grab this evolution of the EQ 73 while you can  Today - Blue Monday - is supposedly the most depressing of the year, but IK Multimedia is here to lift the mood by letting you have T-RackS EQ 81 - an emulation of a classic piece of British studio hardware (we’ll Neve you to work out what that is) - for free. As you might expect, this T-RackS 5 processor promises the “warmth and tone” of said unit, but IK says that EQ 81 also has “a voice of its own”. You get four independent bands to work with (high/low shelving, plus two mid-range peaking filters) and high- and low-pass filters. EQ 81 could be seen as an evolution of the EQ 73, its older brother, but is more suitable when “precise intervention” is required without sacrificing warmth. The EQ 81 is designed to be used on pretty much anything, though mid-range sounds such as vocals and guitars are said to be particularly suitable recipients of its processing.
