Tiltshift is a tilt EQ that moves a sound from warm to bright with one slider, using gentle slopes and a loudness lock.

It adds sweepable high and low cut filters with resonance, and costs $29.

What it does

Tiltshift is pitched as "superior tone-shaping, from mix to master." Its tilt slopes are very gentle, typically under 1 dB per octave, which the developer says changes phase and transients less than standard EQ curves.

Tilt: one Tilt Gain control from mellow (bass) to bright (treble), working over an adjustable frequency range (20 Hz to 20 kHz by default).
Loudness modes: Auto keeps perceived loudness steady as you tilt; Standard, Treble and Bass are the other options.
Filters: independent low-cut and high-cut filters with variable slopes from 6 to 48 dB per octave.
Resonance: each filter can add a boost right at its cutoff.
Listen: separate buttons to audition what each filter removes.
HQ mode: a higher-precision algorithm with finer spectral resolution, at extra CPU cost.
Light on CPU: by default it is cheap enough to use on every channel, with a metered output gain.

Goodhertz's downloads page lists version 3.14.1 (June 2026) for its plugin line (the online manual covers 3.13). It runs mono, mono-to-stereo or stereo, and all controls automate without clicks or zipper noise. A 30-day free trial is available.

When to use it

Tiltshift does one broad tone move very simply, with loudness compensation so you judge tone rather than level. Compared with Pro-Q 4 and TDR Nova, it has no parametric bands or dynamic EQ, but it is much quicker for overall brightness or warmth. TDR VOS SlickEQ also offers broad tone curves, while Tiltshift adds steep, resonant high and low cuts with Listen buttons. Unlike the Pultec Passive EQ Collection, it adds no analog colour.

Best for: quick overall brightness or warmth on tracks, buses and masters, and gentle tone automation.
Genres: any.
Look elsewhere if: you need surgical bands or dynamic EQ; Pro-Q 4 or TDR Nova do that.
