I'm really looking forward to this! I use Equality and Compassion all the time and they're great plugins.

I live in Bude. Does that qualify me for an extra discount?

Seriously though, your EQ 'workstation' will hopefully be the last EQ I buy (I have the bundle, and I haven't bought another compressor since buying Compassion).

Can't wait to see it!

Hey Dave, super excited to learn about the new eq. However, I hope that the parameters in this new eq correspond exactly same to each other in the gui as well as the non-gui mode.

It is a VERY MINOR issue but let me explain. Sometimes i prefer to work with the non-gui version, so I use xlutop chainer to run the the plugins which has a gui(normal) mode as well as a non-gui mode(only the parameters are shown as a list). Now the problem with equality is that the sometimes when the non-gui mode shows a parameter in the off position, it is being shown as active in the gui. example. the eq band on/off buttons.

what i would like to see in a eq is a ear mode, i mean a mode where you remove almost all visual feedback to force people to use their ears ( like when using some hardware eq ) , also a smooth mode, where all bands gain adjustement are divided by 2 just to trick us ,to make the eq appear very smooth and easier to find sweet spot.

also different type of hp/lp filter, 6/12/24/36/48 but with at least 5 different type of filter to cover all situation

All the above are in already.

Don't really think that's something I really want to support in general, sorry.

The problem you're having with EQuality is one of polarity sense. Does 'on' mean that the band is on, or that the band bypass is on?
I've fixed this in RTAS/AAX, but there's no real support for such a fix in VST.

The situation is much more complex in EQuilibrium, by necessity. YMMV, but this is not a supported usage- I have spent the last three months fairly solidly crafting the finest UI available for this task, and a parameter listing gives me no scope to invent with.

Did I miss the price quote ?

Will there be a discount for EQality/EQuick users ?

I read that it will not be twice as expensive as Equality and that people that already have EQuality and/or EQuick will have a big discount!

Correct me if I'm mistaken!

hmm... another EQ.. my first thought was "meh"
Did I get it right, that it models eq/filter curves? Though no saturation/distortion behaviours? Isn't it possible to create most curves with any digital eq?
Are people who don't like equality/equick the main target group for this EQ or does it offer anything for owners too?
Is it some kind of "mother of EQs" like compassion is "mother of compressors"?
Sorry for this interrogation

One to rule them all... or something

A few of 'em.

Though no saturation/distortion behaviours?

Truth be told, there aren't really any interesting saturation/distortion behaviours that are worth including in an EQ.
This is an EQ. THE EQ, if I've met my ambition.
Not a reamping device

Isn't it possible to create most curves with any digital eq?

Sure. That's almost technically true.

But here you get all the Gain-Q interactions from a bunch of interesting things.
Plus the pristine top-end that makes EQuality/EQuick awesome.

Plus you can now have everything parallel.

And then it all goes deeper, and you can get super-precise calibrating stuff, like the impulse response windowing, phase response per-band, ir length/padding and transformations to be applied post-computation.

Are people who don't like equality/equick the main target group for this EQ or does it offer anything for owners too?

The target group for this EQ are people who want the finest money can buy.

Is it some kind of "mother of EQs" like compassion is "mother of compressors"?
Sorry for this interrogation

Yes. That's a nice way to think of it.

Now, this list isn't finished yet, but here's some copypaste from the sourcecode that generates the menus of different subtypes for each filtertype:

"DMG","Ox1","Ox2","Ox3","Ox4","110","550","88","32","EE","FlatTop","Butterworth"
"DMG","Coincident","Butterworth","Chebyshev","Bessel","Critical","Legendre","Elliptic","Allpass"
"DMG","110","550","Pultec Boost","Pultec Cut","First Order","Tilt"

Have fun

Dave.

I know it's somewhat a special case, but any chance it can run parallel w dry (ala ubk clariphonic)?

Twice as expensive as Equality ?!

(even talking in this ballpark can make one dizzy...)

Me still waits for official quote...

Yeah. Just stick it in Shelves+Peaks->Parallel.
