AMP LEQS is kind of a channel strip, and it does what exactly it is supposed to do, and it sounds very good. AMP LEQS has a very straightforward control setting, the UI is pretty clear and you will not get confused. It’s fantastic on drums, but I especially like it on kick and 808.
The AMP plugin offers us a “practical and easy to use” ‘Parametric Equalizer’ and with the great feature of an unlimited number of bands that we can create. You may pick between Low and High Pass, Shelf, and Peak filters for each band.
For the ‘Limiter’ section, we have a couple of sliders for adjusting ‘Threshold’ and ‘Gain’, as well as a couple of knobs for adjusting ‘Attack & Release’. Something strange or annoying about this limiter, is that we can’t see the real values of the adjustments that we make, this only shows us values between ‘1.0 to 0.0’, so the adjustments should be by ear.
In the Saturation section, you’ll see the knob called ‘Saturate’. It allows you to add that saturation that can give a lot of character to your 808’s, Kicks, and Snares to your drums in general up to the Bassline. You also have two controls for ‘Pre-Gain & Post-Gain’ adjustment and the Wet knob for parallel mixing that only affects the overdrive section.
Lastly, there is a ‘Stereo Width’ slider to reinforce the stereo width or turn everything to mono.
I have tried AMP LEQS in reaper, I like the eq and stereo width parts a lot but every now and then when I click on the vst to open up its window in reaper, it crashes reaper.
Have you tried to update it? if it didn’t work I do recommend you to contact the support center. Let me give you their email: sales@producernb.com.
