Rob Papen releases RPEQ with built-in Spectrogram

Rob Papen RPEQ

Rob Papen is known for releasing high quality, stable and solid Rack Extensions. Today, a new one has joined the ranks: RPEQ Effect!

This mastering and channel 8 band EQ features tube saturation, low/high pass filters, and a mono/stereo filter just to name a few. The mono/stereo filter is particularly useful when used on a mix bus or in the mastering chain. Also featured is the Air Feature, an additional tool to open your mix with the possiblity to adjust the amount and the frequency, which ranges between between 30kHz to 40kHz.

As an addition to this release, the RPSpec Effect has now been made a free Rack Extension!

RPEQ enters the shop at $69/€69 and requires Reason 9.2 or later. Furthermore, those of you who already own a Rob Papen Rack Extension will receive a 20% discount code!

While we are preparing a review of RPEQ (Soon™), read about the features here, check the feature demo/tutorial by Rop Papen, and go trial this gem. You will not be disappointed.
