Waves F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ

Waves F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ combines precise tonal shaping with dynamics that respond to changing audio levels. Use it to tame intermittent resonances, control vocal harshness, or make space between instruments without applying the same EQ cut throughout a performance.

Features

• Bell, low-shelf, and high-shelf responses, plus dedicated high-pass and low-pass filters.
• Stereo, mid, or side processing for each band in the stereo component.
• Internal or external sidechain triggering, Split/Wide detection, and sidechain auditioning.
• Mono and stereo components, with optional real-time spectrum analysis.
• Wet/dry mix for parallel processing and zero-latency operation.
