Description: Ridge Sound Fold EQ is a compact and intuitive equalizer designed for fast, high-quality sound shaping.
Ridge Sound Fold EQ is a powerful, flexible 6-band equalizer featuring a dynamic saturator, designed for professional mixing and mastering. The plugin’s standout feature is its proprietary “Fold” algorithm; rather than simply cutting or boosting frequencies, it harmonically compresses and saturates the audio signal, adding density, analog character, and a pleasing “grit” to tracks.
The plugin combines the surgical precision of digital equalization with the musicality of classic tube gear.
Key Features:
• Innovative Fold Mode: Seamlessly transitions standard frequency gain into soft-clipping and harmonic saturation modes. This allows an instrument to stand out in the mix without requiring an extreme volume boost.
• Analog Modeling: Each band can operate in a perfectly transparent digital mode or emulate the phase distortion and warmth of legendary consoles.
• Versatile Filters: Includes parametric bands, high-pass and low-pass filters (up to 96 dB/oct), and shelving filters with adjustable resonance.
• Stereo / Mid-Side Modes: Full control over the stereo field. Process the Mid channel separately for bass and vocal density, or the Side channels to give the mix incredible width.
• Intelligent Auto-Gain: Automatically compensates for volume changes during equalization, allowing you to evaluate the plugin’s actual impact on timbre rather than loudness.
Applications:
• Vocals: Adding “expensive-sounding” air and mid-range density without harshness.
• Drums and percussion: Adding “click” to the kick drum and aggressive punch to the snare via frequency-dependent Fold.
• Mastering: Final mix polishing, stereo image widening, and adding a sense of solidity (glue) to the track.
