Q-Clone from Waves is an EQ modeling plug-in that consists of two parts; the first features a large library of classic EQ presets, taken from multiple hardware units. The second, Q-Capture, allows the user to capture custom settings of any hardware EQ at hand.

The software sends a known signal into the hardware EQ set to its desired settings and the return sound is then analyzed and promptly made into an EQ preset that can be reused any number of times. This way a mix can be built with different EQ settings on each track using a single hardware EQ.
