Not rated yet
LP10 is a 10-band equalizer using an FFT engine, where each band's phase response can be set from minimum through linear to inverse minimum phase.
It has flex filters from 6 to 60 dB/oct, an analyzer and L/R or M/S stereo modes, for $39.
Best for: Mastering, Mix Bus, Drums, Vocals. Genres: all genres.
Keywords: mastering, minimum-phase, built-in analyzer, FFT-based, linear-phase, mid/side, drums, vocals, full mix, wide, A/B compare, bus processing, clean, mix bus, mixing, parallel processing, static.
What it does
LP10 is DDMF's FFT-based EQ for mastering and precise spectrum shaping, with "full control over the phase response" of each band. Instead of one global linear-phase switch, every band can use its own phase behaviour.
- Bands: up to 10 EQ bands.
- Phase per band: linear phase, minimum phase or inverse minimum phase, set band by band.
- Flex filters: slopes that are continuously adjustable from 6 to 60 dB/oct.
- Resolution: an FFT algorithm with 2.7 Hz frequency resolution at 44.1 kHz.
- Analyzer: a spectrum analyzer showing the signal before and after processing.
- Stereo: optional true stereo operation in L/R or M/S, plus a stereo width control.
- Engine and workflow: a double-precision (64-bit) audio engine and A/B states for comparing settings.
Free demos are available.
When to use it
LP10 is a low-cost mastering EQ built around phase choice. Compared with FabFilter Pro-Q 4, it has no dynamic bands and far less visual polish, but it lets each band be linear, minimum or inverse minimum phase, so you can trade latency and pre-ringing against phase shift band by band. Compared with the Pultec Passive EQ Collection or other analog-style EQs, it adds no colour and aims purely at clean, exact shaping. Its M/S mode and width control also cover simple stereo work that would otherwise need a separate plugin.
- Best for: mastering, parallel processing, and drum or vocal buses where phase matters.
- Genres: any.
- Look elsewhere if: you need zero latency for tracking or dynamic EQ; a minimum-phase EQ such as DDMF's IIEQPro or TDR Nova suits that better.
What producers say
User feedback is sparse but positive about the sound.
- KVR users rate it 5 out of 5 from one review (2020, version 4.2), which praised "a very clean sound" and called it a great, affordable mastering EQ.
- Earlier issues: KVR comments from 2015 reported bugs and a sluggish interface, which the developer later addressed.
