Default VST EQ for Bass

I was wondering if there are any EQs made for handling bass. I love ReaEq but trying to shape a curve between 60 -100 hz can be a pain as there is not alot of room in the GUI. After googling abit, I cannot find anything and was wondering if such a thing exists. ReaEq would be great if it allowed you to zoom in. What are your solutions for bass?

I know how you feel. This is why I don't use ReaEQ that often.

The MeldaProduction MEqualizer is free, available in 64bit and it looks better. Zooming is possible.

Take a look:



They have a whole bundle of plugins for free.

ToneBoosters eq can be very handy in M/S mode for handling bass.
And it's cheap.

You can zoom too with DDMF iieq.

I love the ToneBoosters plugins.

I've been using URS ProStrip a lot lately but this has become one of my favorite free eqs for Bass (and a lot of other things):

Drop that on your bass strip, choose a bass pre-set that gets ya close and then fine-tune.

Also, to help with the envelope I've been running this on a parallel channel:

"Welcome to my little Reaper JS plugins page. You can download and use them freely. Unpack the zip file and copy the content (as it is) into your reaper effects folder. For example that would be: C:\Program Files\REAPER\Effects.
I hope you find them useful."

I unpacked zip file and copied it to effects Folder, but I can not find Bassmanager plugin in Reaper? Win7 64 bit

There is a plugin called JS/Liteon Bassmanager, but it has completeley different (simple) GUI and e.g. different Features, e.g. there is no "Dirt" knob/slider.

Free EQ Plugin: Equilibre (Audio Teknikk)
FEATURES:
5 parametric bands with q-value
1 High and 1 low pass with slope-value
Input Gain, Saturation
Solo/Mute of each band
Reset, A/B compare
m/s Equalizer (you can eq LR, MID or side only!)
Eq looks great and is "bigsized"

This looks more like an EQ for Busses/Master Bus since it introduces latency because of oversampling by default. You can't deactivate that if I saw it right. So Equilibre seems to be a bit "overpowered" or just too much for single tracks in a session.

I have no latency issues with Equlibre.
Maybe decrease your buffer size ?!

But I have to correct:
3 parametric band
High Pass, Low pass,
High Shelf, Low shelf

M/S Feature is great, one of my fav eqs
