Overview

AOS EQ is a six-band parametric equalizer with a real-time analyzer, musical filter shapes, and a workflow that stays out of the way. It was built because tone shaping is the first thing every creator needs and the last thing that should cost money.

Features

  • Six fully parametric bands with bell, shelf, and cut shapes
  • Real-time spectrum analyzer with pre/post comparison
  • Stereo, mid/side, and per-channel processing
  • Minimum and linear phase modes
  • A/B compare, undo history, and preset browser
  • Resizable, high-contrast, accessible interface

How to use

  • Start with subtractive moves: cut what's cluttering before boosting.
  • Use the analyzer to confirm what you hear, not to replace it.
  • Engage the high-pass on non-bass sources to clear low-end build-up.
  • A/B every change at matched loudness before committing.

Support

Help keep creative tools free.

AOS resources are made possible through grants, sponsors, and people who believe creators deserve access to professional tools and knowledge. Free access still requires paid work: artist fees, development, hosting, documentation, and music production.

Your support helps fund development, testing, documentation, music production, education, and distribution.
