TDR NOVA

TDR Nova, by Tokyo Dawn Labs, is a free dynamic EQ that looks like a normal parametric equalizer but hides a full dynamics section under every band. That means a band doesn’t just boost or cut a frequency all the time — it can kick in only when that frequency gets too loud, acting like a compressor or de-esser tied to one part of the spectrum instead of squashing the whole signal.

Features

• 4 dynamic EQ bands, each switchable between static and dynamic mode.
• High-pass and low-pass filter sections included.
• Built-in spectrum analyzer.
• Equal-loudness function, so a boost doesn’t just sound louder and trick your ears into liking it.
• Preset manager, undo/redo history and A/B comparison.

There’s also a paid “Gentleman’s Edition” with extra bands and more flexible dynamics processing, but the free version above costs nothing.

Compatibility

• Windows: VST2 / VST3 / AAX (64-bit); VST2/VST3 also available in 32-bit.
• macOS: VST2 / VST3 / AU / AAX (64-bit).
• Requirements: Windows 7+ or macOS 10.9+, with OpenGL support.
