Ultimate Review"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>Eventide released an innovative EQ plugin that separates tone from transient!<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just your typical EQ or some fancy modeling of an old analog EQ. This is a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">fundamentally new approach to EQ<\/span> that unlocks completely new possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>This review <strong>dives deep into Eventide&#8217;s patent information<\/strong> to show you:<br \/>\n\u2705 What makes SplitEQ unique<br \/>\n\u2705 What their tonal vs. transient separation technology means for you and your music<br \/>\n\u2705 How to dial in  to minimize artifacts when using this plugin<\/p>\n<\/a> Eventide Split EQ User Interface\n<p>You will also learn how to best use  on guitars, bass, vocals, drums, and my favorite &#8211; on the master bus!<\/p>\n<h2>What makes Eventide SplitEQ so powerful?<\/h2>\n<p>We can now <strong>target specific problem areas<\/strong> in our mixes that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">no other traditional EQ can <\/span>(including dynamic EQs) by separating the audio into two different components: &#8220;tonal&#8221; or &#8220;transient&#8221; audio.<\/p>\n<p>You can think of the tonal audio as the average sound overall &#8211; it&#8217;s the audio that carries the melody and musicality of the song.<\/p>\n<p>The transient information controls the punch and movement of the song. For me being a rock and metal guy, that is essentially the kick and snare drum.<\/p>\n<h2>What can you do with Eventide SplitEQ?<\/h2>\n<p>How I use  when <strong>mixing<\/strong> songs<strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Remove the ring from a snare drum without taking away the body or punch<br \/>\n\u2705 Selectively increase the pick attack on guitars and bass without changing the tone of the guitars or adding any harshness<br \/>\n\u2705 Add snap and attack to a snare drum or toms without bring up room ambience<br \/>\n\u2705 Bring out the air in the vocal without ANY sibilance<br \/>\n\u2705 Destroy sibilance without affecting the presence or intelligibility of the vocal<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_bloom_inline_form et_bloom_optin et_bloom_make_form_visible et_bloom_optin_10\" style=\"display: none;\" data-success_action_details=\"redirect_url|https:\/\/www.raytownproductions.com\/blog\/thank-you\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">.et_bloom .et_bloom_optin_10 .et_bloom_form_content { background-color: #eaeaea !important;
