The Apogee MEQ-5 is a software recreation of a classic Pultec midrange EQ unit. This will allow you to bring analog warmth to the midrange of your tracks. Critically you can achieve this with precision with controls and sound that are both faithful to the original unit. Apogee has modeled this EQ off a real unit and if thats not enough they also worked closely with the current manufacturers to get their version sounding as good as possible. It can be loaded straight into your DAW without any other software needed. Or why not use it with Apogee hardware DSP such as Symphony Desktop and Element Series.
