1.1 About This Product
EQ45 is a lightweight, stand-alone parametric equalizer based on the circuit model of
the Urei 545 parametric EQ. Its high-resolution filters enable you to perform subtle or
drastic changes to audio material without the unpleasant artifacts caused by limited dy-
namic range in hi Q filters. Whatever your audio application may be, EQ45 will provide
you with flexible new options.

2.1 Preset Bar
Located at the top of the EQ45 Plug-In, the Preset Bar lets you load and save presets,
along with several other features.
When EQ45 is installed, a library of settings is placed into the <user>/Music/Eventide/EQ45/Pre-
sets folder (Mac) or the <user>/Documents/Eventide/EQ45/Presets folder (Windows).
These presets have a .tide extension and can be saved or loaded from the EQ45 preset
bar in any supported DAW.
In many DAWs there is an additional generic preset bar that saves DAW-specific presets
to a separate location. We recommend saving your presets using the Eventide preset
bar to ensure that your presets will be accessible from any DAW. You can also create
sub-folders inside the preset folders, if you wish.
Load/Save Use these buttons to load and save your presets in .tide format.
Compare Click to toggle between two different settings for the plug-in.
This is useful for making A/B comparisons.
Info Click this button to open this manual.
Settings Opens a drop-down menu with scaling settings for changing
the overall size of the plugin.
