Free EQ Plugin CM-EQUA 87 with Computer Music Magazine is Well Worth Checking Out

Here's a quick video of Computer Music's CM-EQUA 87 EQ plug-in.  The plug-in currently comes as part of the CM Suite on the magazine's cover disc.



Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but I think it has a nicer sound than some of the other free EQ plug-ins I have tried.

As a bonus to those of you just starting with EQ, the GUI includes some great tips on EQ'ing different instruments.  I finally got the chance to use CM-EQUA 87 this weekend and I fell in love with it immediately.

Grab yourself a copy of Computer Music magazine and let me know what you think of the plug-in below.

The Theory For Our Revenge 'OBORO'

REVIEW: Japanese multimedia art duo make a great first impression with their mix of industrial, trap and operatic pop The following is a paid for review and post, via humanhuman (see below).  It is always an honour and a pleasure to receive new music to check out and review; especially  when it's as enjoyable a listening experience as this first offering from The Theory For Our Revenge is. The Theory For Our Revenge are COLD FAITH and Jhas; a Japanese music production, fashion stylist and visual art duo The Theory For Our Revenge are COLD FAITH and Jhas; a Japanese music production, fashion stylist and visual art duo. Their debut single ,'OBORO', is a slice of experimental electro-trap / operatic-art-pop. Starting with an industrial sounding chugging and churning, the track moves into frosty, haunting melodies. It's in these opening bars that the only potential hiccup occurs. Around the 0:38 and 1:12 marks there's a jagged synth whistle which i

Objects In Orbit 'Panoramas'

REVIEW :  The New Beatmaker favourite changes his name, hones his craft on potential best album of 2020 Producer, Sound Engineer, Musician and Videographer Objects In Orbit has been a favourite of the site since 2013. Whilst there is not a single bad project in the catalogue of the artist formerly known as Evil Alex, he has evolved and improved almost constantly from one project to the next.
