EQuanaut is a stereo graphic equalizer with a set of band-pass filters that divide the audio spectrum into 10 bands allowing to control the amount of boost or cut in narrower frequency ranges, which is controlled with sliders or faders.

Add warmth and shimmer by boosting or Cut certain frequencies in a simple and intuitive interface with 26 built-in presets as a starting point. EQuanaut is available as a plugin in VST and VST3 64 bit versions for Windows as well as in Audio Unit for macOS.

• Gain. Adjusts the overall decibel level by increasing or decreasing the amplitude of the signal from the input to the output, strengthening or weakening the frequency bands or ranges selected.

• GEQ Reset. The Flat preset resets all bands of the currently selected graphic equalizer to zero decibel.

• Dry / Wet. Offers a blend control for mixing and mastering.

Built-in browser to load and save presets and banks, enabling to export to *.fxp (VST2 Preset), *.fxb (VST2 Bank), *.vstpreset (VST3 Preset), *.aupreset (Audio Unit Preset) plus two generic formats (plain text): the *.xmlpreset (XML Preset) and the *.xmlbank (XML Bank), providing cross-platform presets/banks.
