SonEQFree
SonEQFree is a three-band parametric equalizer plugin from Sonimus, available as a VST3 and Audio Unit (AU) plugin for digital audio workstations and music production software on macOS. It provides basic but effective EQ shaping for mixing and mastering tasks, integrated directly into compatible host applications like Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Studio One, Cubase and other DAWs that support VST3 or AU plugin formats. The free version offers the core EQ functionality without limitations.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSonEQFree is a VST3/AU plugin, not a standalone application — it runs inside a host DAW and is updated through the host's plugin manager or by reinstalling the Sonimus plugin using the vendor's installer. Search results confirm that Sonimus has shipped native Apple Silicon (M1+) compatible builds of SonEQ. To get the native VST3 build, visit the Sonimus website, download their latest plugin installer for macOS (which will serve the native arm64 version on M-series Macs), and run it to update or reinstall the plugin. Your host DAW will then load the native version automatically. If your DAW has a built-in plugin manager or marketplace (like Logic Pro's AU browser or some Cubase/Studio One plugin installers), you may also find SonEQFree available there — check your host's documentation. After updating, you should see improved CPU efficiency and responsiveness compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta.
