Combining the core functionality of Nova 67P and the updated features from the new version, TDR Nova is one of the best equalizer plugins you can download for free at the moment. There’s about ten million free plugins available out there and, let’s be honest, most of them suck. Audio Plugin Guy wants to help you hone in on the great ones and TDR Nova is absolutely one of them. Let us tell you why you need this. So, first up like all of Tokyo Dawn Record‘s plugins, Nova is gorgeous! Type of plugin: VSTi. What it does: This virtual analog synth was inspired by the Clavia Nord.
“TDR NOVA is a parallel dynamic equalizer. Appearing in the familiar layout of a parametric equalizer, each band also includes a full featured dynamics section allowing the processor to cover an impressively wide range of applications. Be it a master lacking density, the drum bus asking for more crispiness, or a sibilance problem in your perfect take: NOVA has an elegant answer.
A user friendly WYSIWYG drag and drop display paired with a classic “knob” interface gives quick and smooth access to the various parameters driving NOVA’s powerful processing capabilities. With its four dynamic EQ bands and additional high-pass and low-pass filter sections, NOVA can meet the most exotic demand. Intuitive equal loudness functions help finding the optimal setting without getting distracted by loudness differences.
In practice, the processor covers a whole bucket of tasks:
- Parametric equalization.
- Dynamic equalization.
- Frequency selective compression.
- Multi-band compression.
- Wideband compression.
Of course NOVA features all helpers and work-flow enhancements you’ve come to expect in a TDR plugin: A preset manager, undo/redo, A/B, detailed documentation, copy & paste, and much more.”
