The second in David Bendeth's signature plugin series. Modeled after a Ward-Beck Systems M462B hardware EQ unit, the Hoser is a great channel EQ to give that cohesive feel to your mixes.
Hoser enjoys some of the benefits of working in the digital realm while staying true to the analog sound. It really is the best of both worlds.
When we built The Hoser, we had two goals:
You should be able to use this plugin on all tracks without worrying about your CPU overheating.
After a lot of trial and error, we finally achieved this. The plugin stays true to the analog sound, allowing you to add extreme amounts of gain without adding the harshness of digital EQ. It does all this using small amounts of processing power, to preserve your CPU for other plugins. It really is the best of both worlds.
While we were using the hardware, we couldn't help but wish we could use it in a mid/side configuration. He was just begging for it. So what was stopping us from getting the plugin to work in mid/side mode? Nothing, that's it.
You can also process the left and right channels separately, which is a great way to add some stereo width to a mono track or match the tone of a stereo source.
When you purchase The Hoser XT, The Hoser also comes with the download, but what's the difference?
