Anyone tried this EQ yet? Is it good enough to sedate you

. Claims to be the most transparent EQ ever. I played with it briefly, pretty good. Doesn't have a spectrum analyzer though.

What's the difference between Lo-Cut and Hi-Pass?

TBH, I thought it was tranQuilium...

I have their latest download package, the idea of a transparent eq looked cool, but it sounds like any other.

CPU usage is quite high, especially at the higher oversampled rates (up to 32x with 44.1kHz).

Claims to feature a "unique transparent sound". Of course, it can't be both. I found nothing unique about it, so I'm going with transparent.

On the plus side, it offers M/S processing and looks very pretty.

Yes, I agree Theo. I think what you suggested would make the eq more flexible. Also, I tend to think in general that there should be more control over these filters in a lot of eqs. For instance, I think DDMF stuff is quite fine, especially for the asking price, but I never quite got on with the filters. Something about the slopes I didn't like and just couldn't find something I liked. On a lot of settings, I found the high pass filters thinning my sound out quite a bit more than I would have anticipated so it took me longer to find my sweet spots. Guess I'm going on a tangent here. But nice suggestion!

I will have to demo this, loved the idea of Equilibrium but it's $270+ bucks. This is $25 for the year and you can upgrade. Anyone done any direct comparisons for basic quality of the algorithm?

Could be just the thing I've been looking for it's its good enough.

Er, 25 for a year, 99 lifetime. WTF does this mean?

25 for all updates for the next year, or does the thing expire after a year? Seems strange to me.

Hmmm. I have never heard of JADEQ. I wonder where I can download it from. Sounds neat. By the way Theo, wanted to mention that I ended up getting the Mellowmuse Limiter. Ha your limiter post swayed me.

Check out my other post in the Neve eq thread. Too bad vst isn't a native logic format cause the cdsoundmaster eq is fantastic and there's even a free version with limited bands. But maybe there is a vst to au plugin. I don't know how that works but worth checking out for a freebie. I bought the full version and still blown away.

Yeah I'm confused by that too. I don't like the idea of renting plugins. It feels like I am owing something when I should feel like am owning that something,.
