Should you use Dynamic EQ?
I like to think of it this way: a dynamic EQ is a great problem solver. Whether you want to reign in or enhance a drum fundamental or an overly strong—or weak—bass note, suppress a particular low-mid vocal resonance, or tame some sibilance or an especially pokey hi-hat, dynamic EQ is an excellent tool to turn to.
What does a dynamic equalizer do?
In essence, a dynamic equalizer allows you to EQ the louder parts of a track (or, more precisely, the louder parts of a particular frequency in the track) differently than the quieter layer just under it.
Is Dynamic EQ same as multiband compressor?
A dynamic EQ functions mostly like an EQ, but with some aspects of a compressor. Multiband compression functions like normal compression, but can act independently upon separate frequency ranges like an EQ. A dynamic EQ band functions like a standard EQ band, but processes signal non-linearly like a compressor.
What is the difference between parametric and dynamic EQ?
The basic signal flow of a dynamic EQ. A dynamic EQ runs the input signal through a parametric EQ. This parametric EQ is manipulated by a control signal coming from its sidechain circuitry. The dynamic EQ's input signal is used as the sidechain input and split using filters.
