Remote EQ
shippedA VST3 audio plugin that runs its own web server, so a sound engineer can walk into the crowd with a tablet and tune the room from there.
Live sound has an old problem: the desk is at the back of the room, but the room sounds different everywhere else. Remote EQ moves the controls to wherever you are standing — the equaliser itself stays on the master bus, only the interface travels.
- Audio and the network never share a lock They talk through lock-free atomics only, so a dropped Wi-Fi connection can never tug at the sound.
- The web interface compiles into the binary The plugin ships as one file. Nothing to install on the tablet, no second application to keep alive.
- Losing the tablet costs nothing It is a remote control, not part of the signal path. Walk out of range mid-set and the audio doesn't notice.
- The Detail view sits apart from the others Different colour, different corner — so the one view you don't want mid-set can't be hit by accident.
- 61-band graphic EQ at 1/6 octave, zero added latency
- Embedded HTTP + WebSocket server, hand-rolled handshake
- Room measurement with a calibration mic, pink noise and live spectrum
- Automatic feedback detection with parked notch filters
- Second version splits into two plugins that sync over shared memory
