Mix Balance without the Balancing Act
Sweetwater audio engineers agree that the mark of a true mixing or mastering guru is the ability to balance various musical elements, and that's why we love the Tilt-Q plug-in from PSP Audioware. Tilt-Q succeeds by providing you with both Tilt- and Contour-style EQs, placing exceptional mix balance firmly within your grasp via shapable characteristics, highpass/lowpass filters (HPF/LPF), octave modes, mid-side processing, and other indispensable tools. Additionally, PSP's proprietary soft saturation is onboard to imbue your mix with some analog character, and the integrated real-time spectrum analysis provides you with detailed visual feedback. Mixing and mastering don't have to be overwhelming; tilt the odds in your favor by adding PSP Audioware's Tilt-Q equalizer plug-in to your library.
Note: This product requires that you have an iLok account for authorization, although it does not require a physical iLok key. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions.

Be free of "paralysis by analysis"
Possibly our favorite thing about Tilt-Q is how it empowers you to make overall mix decisions without being hypercritical. Its user-friendly console-style interface features a minimalistic control scheme with easy access to all the primary controls; no menu diving required. And its 31-band PSPEC-31 spectrum analyzer is front-and-center for immediate visual feedback in pre- or post-EQ processing.
Combine and conquer
By combining both tilt- and contour-style EQs, Tilt-Q lets you tackle any mix with confidence. While each style boasts three highly shapable characteristics, we like Tilt for its distinct curves when you need a quick high-low rebalance, and Contour for when more midrange shaping is required. Plus, you'll benefit from having both HPFs and LPFs on hand, as well as 6/12/24dB-per-octave slopes and versatile channel processing for Left, Right, Mid, Side, and full Stereo signals.
More than meets the ear
There's a lot going on under the hood of Tilt-Q that's not immediately apparent. First, automatic oversampling for rates below 50kHz ensures pristine and powerful processing. Next, 64-bit double-precision internal processing attenuates noise buildup and other artifacts, and bolsters the plug-in's natural filter behavior. Finally, PSP Audioware's proprietary 2nd-gen soft saturation lets you apply it at the output stage to infuse your mix with analog-style harmonics and safeguard your work against digital clipping.
