"Dual channel linear phase EQ, without the latency."
Description
Based on Blue Cat's Liny EQ technology, Blue Cat's Stereo Liny EQ is a 9 bands linear phase stereo equalizer. It has the same characteristics as the standard Liny EQ, and it enables separate Left / Right management of the spectrum: automate the +/-40dB faders for a zipper-free surgical time-varying equalization of your signal with a minimal extra latency (less than 3ms)!
Equalize your stereo signal without phase distortion, with this professional fully-automatable stereo equalizer! If you wish you can also link left and right faders to have the same behavior as the original Liny EQ plug-in or mirror one channel to another.
The built-in Blue Cat's skinning engine enables you to skin this plug-in: adapt the user interface to your needs and customize the look of your Blue Cat's plugin! 3 skins are included in the install package. This web sites offers you to download more skins or learn how to create new ones. It's all free!
