Best eq?

Post by frisbi » Fri Nov 30, 2012 12:28 pm

Hallo
still looking for a serious professional equalizator to use in the mix,
I mean something with a good sound and low cpu

right now I'm using Bias equalizator which is ok, I like it, it's very light and has a good sound
but I would like to improve the sound

I've tried:
Fabfilter pro-q
Voxengo gliss-eq

i like them both

any suggestion for something that rocks????

sonnox oxford, expensive but nice (pretty transparent to my ears)
NI passive EQ (from the premium tube series) also very nice (again, to my ears)

check out DMG EQuick. low cpu, simple interface with no fake knobs, M/S processing etc.
resizable window too, for giant onscreen EQing. it's boss.

EQ are all same. The differences are merely function & method. If it alters the result it isn't doing its job properly. Choose your preferable method iir or liner phase.

The new EQ in Live 9 sounds amazing and has some really nice new features. If you can't wait, DMG's eQuality is my go to these days.

That's good to hear. Still I think that new EQ should have gone further down than 30Hz...or am I missing something?
