Has anyone created a preset for the above EQ curve? Scouring the web, it looks as if no one's done anything within the last decade. How hard is this to replicate? Mastering plug-in for vinyl? I'm trying to avoid purchasing an outboard phono pre as I only need the EQ settings. Help?
Not sure if this still works. It's worth a try, scroll to the bottom of the page:

The curve looks like this, pretty easy to replicate but it won't be exact.
Nice, the VST version works on my PC mastering setup, will try the Mac version in a bit.
Yeah I tried that one and it sounded muddy. I may have made one. If I deem it acceptable I’ll try and upload it.
Isn't "muddy" to be expected, given the curve above?
Yes.... if you've recorded vinyl from a magnetic cartridge into a computer you can use the plugin to equalize it.
For De-emphasis, you can use the Channel EQ:
Low shelf: 140 Hz, + 19.5 dB, 0.5 Q
Low pass: 2550 Hz, 6dB/Oct
Use the oversampling mode to get the top end right.
That replicates the RIAA De-emphasis curve quite well.
Best,
