Request for help testing a mastering EQ - prameneven - 09-23-2026
Hi,
I’m reaching out because I’m looking for a few experienced audio people to test a VST3 mastering EQ I’ve developed, and I thought you might be interested.
It’s called $welve Thou$and — a 12-knob mastering EQ built around a different concept than a conventional parametric EQ. Each knob controls a custom “macro recipe” that simultaneously affects multiple parts of a 21-band engine — EQ, compression, stereo width and Haas-style micro-delay — rather than simply boosting or cutting one frequency.
The idea came from my experience running a mastering studio and working with hardware EQs. I wanted to recreate some of the musical interaction and character of expensive analog mastering equipment in a single, very simple interface.
I’ve already spent several months developing and refining it, but at this stage I’m particularly interested in real-world feedback from people with mastering/mixing experience — what works, what doesn’t, where it sounds useful, and where it needs improvement.
It’s currently Windows 64-bit / VST3.
If you’re willing to give it a proper test and share your honest feedback, I’d be happy to give you a full permanent license for free — no obligation to post anything or promote it.
Here’s the Gearspace post with the full description and screenshots:

If you're interested, I can send you the download and license.
Thanks!
