About
TDR VOS SlickEQ is a mixing and mastering equalizer plug-in from Tokyo Dawn Labs and Variety of Sound. Its semi-parametric layout provides three EQ bands plus a high-pass filter, with four selectable EQ models: American, British, German, and Soviet. An optional non-linearity setting and five output stages—Linear, Silky, Mellow, Deep, and Toasted—offer different saturation characteristics.
Other documented capabilities include loudness-compensated auto gain, stereo-sum or stereo-difference processing, preset management, undo and redo, and quick A/B comparison. The plug-in also uses a 64-bit multirate processing structure.
Install the macOS package with brew install --cask tdr-vos-slickeq. After installation, load SlickEQ as an audio plug-in in a compatible host that supports an installed plug-in format. The official page lists VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX formats. This cask installs TDR VOS SlickEQ, not the separate Gentleman's Edition, which has additional features.
The official product page lists macOS 10.9 or later and OpenGL support among its system requirements.
