About Xtreme Samples Q-Clone Libraries

Xtreme Samples Q-Clone libraries are clearly superior to the native EQ plugins in terms of authenticity in relation to the hardware unit. Even compared to DSP platforms ( UAD , TC , etc.) the results of processing are more transparent and natural. Just like in case of convolution reverb, the characteristics of the original hardware will be captured far better as in case of an algorithmic DSP calculation.

Xtreme Samples Q-Clone presets represent specific filter positions of hardware equalizers. These positions have been transferred to a software environment and stored using convolution technology. There are two types of Xtreme Samples Q-Clone presets: single presets and application presets.

A single preset emulates the position (cut, boost, or flat) of a single EQ filter (e.g., high shelving filter), while other EQ filters are bypassed. An application preset captures the positions of two or more EQ filters simultaneously. Single presets are suitable for easily editing audio signals, such as treble/mid/bass boost/cut or low or high cut filters. By using the Q-Clone function 'Add,' which allows users to combine multiple single presets, they provide a broad foundation for creating custom EQ presets.

Application presets offer more complex EQ settings and are divided into two groups: mixing and mastering. Mixing presets include various settings sorted by application (e.g., presets for bass, drums, guitars, vocals, etc.). The mastering section is categorized by musical genre, such as pop, rock, dance, etc.
