The Falcon Air EQ from Safari Audio is a specialised plug-in designed for the very area where many productions stand or fall: the highs. Whether vocals need more air, snares need to sound brighter and more luxurious, or a mix needs to sound open at the top end without sounding harsh, this tool really comes into its own. Instead of boosting harshly, Falcon Air EQ delivers smooth, elegant treble boost with control, making the sound feel bigger, more refined and more modern.
Falcon Air EQ’s approach is clear: more brilliance without harshness. The plug-in was designed to add sparkle and presence to the upper frequency range without introducing unpleasant harshness. This is particularly valuable for pop vocals, trap snares, acoustic guitars, cinematic pads or the entire mix bus, as many EQs may boost the highs but quickly become aggressive or thin.
Falcon Air EQ does exactly the opposite. The sound remains silkier, rounder and of higher quality, even when you boost the treble significantly.
One of the most powerful features is the built-in de-esser. It works directly with the Air concept and helps to automatically control harsh ‘s’ sounds and biting peaks, whilst the voice remains open and present. This is particularly useful for vocals, as you don’t have to stack multiple plug-ins just to achieve both brilliance and control at the same time.
In day-to-day use, this saves time and makes Falcon Air EQ a very fast tool for productions that need to sound good straight away.
With Air Gain, you can boost or cut the selected range. Using Frequency, you can determine exactly where in the high-frequency range the adjustment should take place. This allows you to fine-tune the character, from a subtle shimmer to a more pronounced presence.
Air Drive complements the treble processing with a gentle saturation. This not only makes the top end brighter, but also slightly smoother and more musical. This is often the subtle difference between a simple EQ boost and a sound that truly sounds refined.
The Blend control makes parallel processing particularly easy. It allows you to seamlessly blend the processed signal with the original and find exactly the right balance between naturalness and brilliance. Auto Gain helps to even out sudden changes in loudness, so you can make decisions based on sound rather than level. Added to this is oversampling, which reduces aliasing and keeps the audio quality clean, especially when Air Drive and more aggressive processing are in play.
Falcon Air EQ runs in all major DAWs, supports AU, VST3 and AAX on Mac and PC, and is supplied as a perpetual licence. The download is available immediately after purchase; the licence is yours to keep forever and future updates are also included. Once activated, no permanent internet connection is required, making the plug-in pleasantly straightforward to use in everyday studio work.
This plug-in is ideal for producers, mixers and creators who frequently work with vocals, modern drums, acoustic signals or mixes where brilliance is crucial. When high frequencies often end up sounding either too tame or too harsh, Falcon Air EQ is exactly the sort of tool you’ll quickly incorporate into your workflow.
