United Kingdom (April 30, 2026)—Techivation has a new entry in its long line of free plug-ins: The Tilt EQ, a linear phase tone shaping equalizer intended to alter your audio while compensating to avoid making it sound dull or thin in the process.
According to the company, while many EQs “discard the energy they cut, Tilt EQ’s Drive control captures that energy and re-injects it as harmonic saturation.” The result is a tone-shaping tool that lets users brighten, darken, or rebalance a sound without washing out the spectral content. Instead, drive intensity scales with the amount of energy the tilt curve removes.
Tilt EQ also offers an adjustable tilt range and slope for control over the position and steepness of the spectral shift; mid-side processing; stereo balance to pan the entire band effect; and a pair of variable-slope low and high cut filters. Automatic gain compensation keeps things consistent, and the Drive section runs at up to 8x oversampling.
