In this video, I rediscovered an old plugin called Curve EQ, which I've had for around 20 years and find invaluable for layering drum loops by using its match EQ feature to remove overlapping frequencies. Instead of constantly adjusting a regular EQ, I've shown how to use Curve EQ to statically match and inverse the frequency spectrum of a simple kick and snare loop with another drum loop, achieving perfect layering without CPU strain. I also expressed a wish for some of these features to be integrated into the main GUI for easier access, and suggested it to the developer, Alexei.
