on the contrary.
EQ3 requires
more resources.
i could use almost 3 EQ4's before using the same amount of resources that 1 EQ 3 does.
see for yourself.
throw a sample in a Track and slap on 5 EQ3's and then 5 EQ4's
on my G4 5 EQ3's = 16% cpu in 1 stereo track
5 EQ4's = 6% cpu.
is there any reason to use it?
it can do kills, wow, so can eq4.
it can do filters, wow so can eq4
it can do DJ style 3 band eqing, wow so can eq4
when using it as a high pass or low pass it can't sweep down to as low or as high of frequencies than EQ4 can, so its inferior as a filter.
EQ4 can do MORE, and use LESS cpu resources. thats what used-car salesmen call a "no brainer!"
yea i guess its good to have more than 1 EQ... but certainly a 2nd EQ with a diff tone could be much better than what we get out of EQ3 (flexibility and effeciency wise)
