Sable is a universal binary AU format EQ plugin, with two bands of boost and high/low cutoff controls. Killer channel EQ, not intended for mastering or 2-buss. Huge sounding, not normal digital EQ! Sable is the best of sonic paintbrushes. Sable is $59.99.
This is Sable on a full mix, sweeping the controls around aggressively- first an intense boost, then bringing down the high cut with its dirty sound, and lastly bringing up the low cut. Dry | Sable
This is Sable being used more musically, and also showing off its real quality- throwing a radical, intense 15K boost on a choir vocal. There's just a touch of high cut in there as well to soften it, and a bit of low fullness added with the other boost and trapped in with the low cut. Check this out. Dry | Sable
Lastly, Sable on distorted guitars- bringing up the pick attack, filling out the low-mid 'meat' and trapping in both the extreme highs and the extreme lows just a bit. Don't try to trap the highs in too much or it'll just get raspy- this is barely down from wide open unrestricted highs. Here's a Sable setting that is flat-out impossible to do on normal digital EQ at any price. Dry | Sable
As a final note, the sweeping-around example (while important) wasn't that appealing to listen to, but the thing is, the following two, while musical, weren't any harder to do. Finding suitable places for EQ was very easy and correct spots sort of jump out, and it's easy to set the frequency with an obvious boost and then tone it down- though with the choir vocal, I'm intentionally blowing people away with 15K because Sable can make that sound good and normal plugin EQs just can't. Also, there were some spots near 15K that sounded unpleasant because there were microphone resonances being reinforced- don't make presets, use your ears. That's what Sable is all about.
Try the demo of this by downloading the demo collection! You're not allowed to use the demo for actual work. It politely mutes itself briefly every couple minutes, and that's the only thing it does to spite you. It won't expire or do anything to you, and when you get the actual plugin, throw away the demo and put the real version in its place and most software should replace saved instances of the demo with the real thing seamlessly, retaining any settings. Please support my cooperative, unhostile demos with sales of the real software.
