Sonnox® Oxford Dynamic EQ
-
Go beyond traditional multiband compression.
The Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ plug-in for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces gives you high-level control over the frequency content of your audio, helping you tackle the most demanding production challenges whether you’re mixing or mastering.
The first dynamic EQ on the UAD platform, the Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ plug-in is an excellent alternative to multiband compression, allowing you to sculpt and shape your sources with unending precision.Now You Can:
Apply EQ that’s triggered by the level of particular frequencies or by onset (transient) detection
Use dynamic tone shaping to tame boomy or harsh vocals, guitars, cymbals, and more
Process your audio using up to five fluidly overlapping frequency bands
Easily execute complex EQ tasks with the intuitive user interface

Dynamic Performance
The Oxford Dynamic EQ plug-in gives you the best of both worlds — the precision of a static EQ, and the responsiveness and flexibility of a multiband processor. It also lets you dynamically shape the tone of your music without any of the phase artifacts or latency issues common to multiband compressors.
Fully Overlapping Bands
Unlike multiband compressors, which use crossovers to rigidly split up the frequency spectrum, the Oxford Dynamic EQ’s five frequency bands can overlap fluidly, giving you greater flexibility for both character modification and corrective processing.
Onset Detection
The Oxford Dynamic EQ plug-in’s Onset Detection lets you set the EQ processing to be triggered by transients. This provides you with a new level of precision for boosting or cutting percussive sources and even for controlling vocal sibilance.
Total Control
The Oxford Dynamic EQ offers multiple ways to refine and target its processing, giving you unprecedented flexibility. For each band you can choose stereo, mono, or mid-side operation, frequency-specific or onset detection or both, upward or downward compression or expansion, and independently adjustable side chain filters.
Ease of Use
Despite all its power and tweakability, the Oxford Dynamic EQ is as easy to dial in as a traditional EQ plug-in, and its user interface is logical, intuitive, and non-intimidating, whether you’re an experienced pro or a studio novice.

Is it better than Ozone Izotope dynamic EQ?
I tried it and loved it but I was wondering if Ozone Izotope Dynamic EQ could not do the same job ?

The "modeling sound" tool
Kind and transparent in every operation, but decisive. I could not do without it in mix, nor in mastering! perfect for modeling a sound without crippling it! very good!

Sonnox Oxford Dynamic EQ Keeping you mix frequencies intact!
Take a look at who designed it, Paul Frindle. In the world of audio, Paul Frindle is a legend. During his tenure at Solid State Logic, he was responsible for the channel electronics of the SSL G Series Console. He was also a part of the team that broke the “damnable black art” of digital conversion. He went on to cofound the (pre-dot=com) startup Oxford Digital Ltd. Their first contract was with Sony (who would eventually take over the company), developing the application design of Sony’s flagship digital mixing console. The result of this work was the OXF-R3, to this day regarded as the pinnacle of digital mixing consoles, not only in music, but also in film. Like everything Paul has worked on, as much of a landmark as the OXF-R3 was, it proved to be but merely a stepping stone. Where it was leading, however, could have been much different. Need more be said? Keep you mix frequencies intact! Another MUST HAVE from UAD!

Simply Amazing
This has quickly become my go to EQ. It is transparent and dynamically tames resonant frequencies without compromising the original tone. This is probably the best plugin I've purchased from UAD.

no waveform view is available at master bus from DAW to UA console & line input
personally this scenario is a big let down. so be aware of this before purchasing. UA will hopefully develop something that provides such a feature.

Dream EQ come alive
This is the only product that has been able to tame my harsh whiny, nasally vocals. The spectral analysis is spot on. My only wish is the spectral analysis worked in real-time while recording. Also great for punch up the bass drums.
S. Lamb
Just yes
This is by far one of the most used plugins I own. Easy to use and makes a massive difference in the over all mix. Don’t expect to hear a crazy change in sound but add this to a few mix busses or instruments and you’ll hear clarity and spread.

So nice ;)

Spend the time with this one.
It's able to very complicated eq tasks both corrective and enhancing at once. Being able to separate the side chain freq from the EQ point both open up many possibilities, and can reanimate lifeless tracks or stems.
G. Hall
A must have
Now one of the most used plugin eq's I have. It's a solution waiting waiting happen. Excellent preset start points
A. Müller
Great eq-tool for different situations
Works great on my groupchannels and my masterchain. Everything under control now.
E. Oooka
Too natural processing power.
Gear that can handle the mastering work quickly without damaging the original sound, arranging the sound. I designed it for mastering for distribution, but I like it very much among UAD plugins.
P. Moshay
Once you get it under your skin, its incredibly powerful!
It takes some time to get used to this one, but once i did i realized that it was an entire toolbox of powerful tools in one plugin....... absolutely amazing!

Sidechain
Sorry, but i don´t undersand why the Sidechain isn´t working!
250 bucks for a non complete EQ, what a shame
