RELEVANT TO THE MUSIC SurferEQ follows the pitch of a monophonic instrument or vocal in real-time and can adjust any of its bands accordingly, thus "Surfing" the sound waves. SurferEQ tracks the pitch of a monophonic instrument or a vocal source and can adapt its bands' frequencies relative to the music in real-time, maintaining the natural harmonic balance of the sound source and making it possible to shape the source's timbre relative to the notes being played. While they are effective for broad tone-shaping and room resonance correction, standard EQs do a poor job at maintaining the vocal or instrument's timbre as the music changes.

However, sound equalizers have always been static. Synthesizer filters can track the pitch to maintain the timbre of the sound throughout the instrument's voices. But if you’re struggling to keep the fundamentals at a consistent level across the frequency spectrum, SurferEQ will do just that.RADICALLY MUSICAL, CREATIVE TIMBRE SHAPER SurferEQ is a ground-breaking pitch-tracking equalizer plug-in that tracks a monophonic instrument or vocal and moves the selected bands with the music. It probably wouldn’t be the first EQ you’d reach for to make some minor adjustments, and certainly not one you’d go for to color an instrument. SoundRadix really flipped the script with this one, developing a totally unique equalizer plugin that makes up for some of the shortcomings/inconveniences of traditional static EQs. If you don’t see the necessity of adaptive pitch-tracking and automatic band adjustment, then FabFilter would be the better choice. And that’s just comparing them superficially.įabFilter is the ultimate workhorse EQ, while SurferEQ is unique and innovative-almost a novelty, though it is quite groundbreaking. With SurferEQ you’re limited to 7 bands, while FabFilter’s are virtually endless (it’s actually up to 24). They don’t share much beyond a spectrum analyzer. SurferEQ and Pro-Q are really two different beasts. While incredibly useful, it doesn’t adapt to the incoming signal in real time and automatically slide the band around based on the fundamental frequency. You can individually toggle bands to boost/cut by a certain amount, only after they surpass a chosen threshold. The dynamic mode on Q 3 works like a multi-band compressor. It’s definitely a go-to multi-purpose equalizer.įabFilter’s Pro-Q 3 features dynamic functionality, but it does not include pitch-tracking like SurferEQ 2. Engineers love it for its precision, transparency, streamlined GUI, and useful spectrum analyzer.

Obviously the real draw to SurferEQ is the pitch-tracking, though. You don’t have to enable surfing, though, and can still use it like a static EQ. SurferEQ has 7 bands, all of which have the adaptive ‘surf’ function. Whenever the bassist plays a fundamental around 100, it will be louder but if they play a funky lick in a higher octave, it will sound quieter because there’s no boost around those fundamentals. For instance, take a bass guitar with a 100 Hz boost. The result is a more dynamic EQ, where there won’t be major peaks or dips in level depending on the fundamental frequency being played.
