TDR Nova

TDR Nova is a parallel dynamic equalizer. Appearing to be a parametric equalizer at first glance, each band also includes a full featured dynamics section allowing the processor to cover an impressively wide range of applications. Whether it is a subtle loudness maximization, a dynamic spectral correction or a creative tone-shaping, TDR Nova is well equipped for the task.
