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/expansion
• Multi-band compression/expansion
• Wideband compression

Of course NOVA features all helpers and workflow enhancements you’ve come to expect in a TDR plugin: A preset manager, undo/redo, A/B, detailed documentation, copy & paste, and much more.

Features added by the Gentleman’s Edition (GE):

• Two additional bands
• Support of expansive ratios in dynamics sections
• Steeper filters up to 120dB/oct
• Support for equal loudness workflows (EL trim and EL bypass)
• High quality mode “INSANE”

System requirements
VST, Audio-Unit or AAX compatible plugin host.
Win XP SP2 or above, Mac OS X 10.6.8 or above.

 

Now its beautiful

 

imo, catapults tokyo dawn to the top of the bang-for-bucks-plugins-list.

 

Pretty useful. Printed out the manual and went through the presets for better understanding. I am missing some sonic edge in all of their plugins. But I guess they are mostly supposed to be clean sounding and surgical.

 

I'm a beginner so this could be a wrong question, but it would be correct to say that's this beauty is a competitor for HOFA's IQ-EQ?

 

me rikey.... now where did I put that 40 €
