You get:

• Six sound profiles and 20 factory presets.

Thank you for supporting Lydtrold.

Make it sound human.

We’ve spent a lot of time creating an EQ that combines a fast, modern workflow with the power of AAX DSP.

The EQ 0.3.62 gives you precise control, a clear visual overview and real-time spectrum analysis in both Native and AAX DSP. The DSP edition runs directly on compatible Avid HDX hardware while the host receives the analyser data for the full-resolution display.

And we’ll say it clearly:

We believe The EQ is the best EQ ever made for Pro Tools HDX users.

That is the standard we set for it. Not hundreds of unnecessary features — just the tools you actually need, a workflow that stays out of the way, and DSP performance designed for serious sessions.

• AAX DSP for Pro Tools HDX
• AAX Native
• Real-time spectrum analyser
• Multiple bell, shelf and filter bands
• Fast, intuitive workflow
• Designed and developed in Denmark

Already own Lydtrold Complete 2026 DSP or subscribe to All Access DSP? The EQ 0.3.62 is included. Open Lydtrold Installer and refresh your products.

Intro prices apply through 31 December 2026. Our AAX DSP plug-ins have not been tested at 192 kHz.

And there’s more: we’ve just released two new FREE plugins:

The Key

A fast and simple way to analyze which key your song, loop, or a specific passage in a track is in.

Just play the audio through the plugin and The Key quickly analyzes the harmonic content and helps you identify the most likely key.

Perfect when you’re working with loops, samples, recordings, or older sessions and just need a quick answer without reaching for an instrument or working it out by ear.

The Tuner

A free tuner plugin for quick and easy tuning.

Both are completely free to download.

Thanks for supporting Lydtrold and for being part of the journey. More new plugins are already on the way.
