BLINDFOLD EQ
Blindfold EQ is a freeware EQ plugin inspired by a quote of Matt Wallace from the
book Recording Unhinged by Sylvia Massy. It has 4 bands (LowShelf, LowMid,
HighMid, HighShelf), but each knob is blind. There are no indicators or numbers to
show frequency values, gain values or Q values. You'd have to use your ears.
“If I were King of the Universe, consoles would have no indication of frequency near
the EQ knobs, because when you show the frequency, then most people EQ by eye.
[…] But seriously, you should have no idea of what frequency you are boosting or
cutting. It doesn't matter what number is. It matters how it sounds and how it feels.
That's it!” - Matt Wallace
