The best graphic EQ GUI is Pro-Q2 for me, though I think the new Surfer EQ2 is quite beautiful (but dongles? no thanks).
Neither are low priced but in my opinion a top-of-the-line EQ is more essential than just about any other plugin investment. I spent awhile meandering with a bunch of low/mid-priced EQs, including several mentioned above, and I could have saved money if I had just sprung for Pro-Q2 in the first place - because Pro-Q2 replaced them all in an instant.

But even in Germany, there are lots of people who can't afford top of the line products.GrabtharsHammer wrote:Here in Germany we use to say "Who buys cheap, buys twice.".
FabFilter Pro-Q 2's GUI is amazing.
ProQ and Equilibrium are great, no doubt they're a life saver for professionals, but for the rest of us, TB EQ or Melda do the job perfectly. As an amateur, I don't really feel the need for another EQ for now. Also, some DAWs integrated EQ are really good, like the one in Logic.

I would recommend a look at the Sell & Buy forum here at KVR. Always lots of good bargains.
My personal 2nd favourite EQ would be PSPs Neon HR. It has a very good GUI and lots of cool features - especially the frequency/overtone hunting function can be a life saver. I have used it quite a lot but recently replaced it with Pro-Q2 in all my projects, so now I'm selling my Neon HR license on ebay. If anyone is interested...

Just for the record: we don't. (except maybe in Bünde, whereever that may be)

I guess for 999€ you can't expect a 64bit version...Last updated: 26.11.2009
I also like the super-creative use of "definitely" here...

The author of this less and less useful thread should change its title, because we're getting way too many useless answers.

Indeed, but I 'fixed' my first recommendation (Pro-Q 2) with my second (PrimeEQ).Bouroki wrote:Well I supposed if people were bringing up DMG Equilibrium and Pro-Q when the OP specifically asked for CHEAP... I thought might as well :p
And still, after you buy one of the big boys, you'll hardly think of buying an eq again.
