even perceived energy and loudness without making things
louder. It's a great tool on a drum bus and can also add life
and presence to wispy synths, delicate effects and even highlight reverb tails. I like using it to add energy and movement to
my drum room mics, rather than just the age-old technique of
heavy compression.

Dynamic EQ

Dynamic equalization has become very popular in the
past few years, most often in third-party plugins. A Dynamic EQ is essentially an EQ combined with a dynamics processor. Rather than simply placing a fixed cut or boost on
the source, a dynamic EQ only cuts or boosts the selected
frequency when a target threshold is hit. In Cubase 11, the
new Frequency 2 EQ is just such a dynamic equalizer, with
eight independent EQ bands that can be set to target thresholds and frequencies and triggered by VST-3 advanced sidechaining. You can even select a different side chain source
for every band if you choose. This is handy for clearing up
muddy mixes when different instruments occupy a similar
frequency range, as well as for slightly ducking those same
instruments when the vocals come in.

Squasher

expected, there are some limitations and omissions from the
Pro and Elements versions. Check out this comparison chart
for more info.

Imagine the image

A topic that comes up often when I interview well-known
audio engineers is a new breed of panning and stereo imaging
tools. The Imager plugin in Cubase 11 is a four-band tool that
performs width, panning and level adjustments to open up or
mono down your mixes and sources in precise, creative ways.
