I compared Equilibrium to ProQ3 earlier today. When I put it on the bass with a boost, it sounded weightier. Thicker. And then I loaded it into Plugin Doctor and found that the Q is merely different than ProQ3, where on the DMG Q1 = ProQ3 = 1.4. I adjusted and... it sounded the same to me thereafter, only with poor usability and appearance in comparison. I'll try more complex EQ moves, but, color me skeptical that it's any better than ProQ3 (it's certainly harder to use).
I've yet to find better overall than ProQ3. It just works, is easy to use, and is easy on the eyes. I want my EQ to do what it says how it says and be easy to work with. I don't seem to care about filter this, parallel that, etc. I'm not a professional mixer, so maybe I'd need to be one to tell the difference between ProQ3 and MAAT EQs Orange is the new Blue or whatever, for example.

Yeah I have that one, I only use it as dynamic EQ for buses rather than a standard track EQ. I also have Slick EQ GE. I probably don't need another EQ but the SSL EQ is on sale for a short time.heavymetalmixer wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 2:55 amHave you tried TDR NOVA? It has paid and free versions.

Equilibrium in its default IIR configuration nulls out with Pro-Q. Higher quality DSP features are in the setup menu, some of which targeted at mastering engineers. I really like the emulated analog circuits and the ability to configure the GUI, which can be saved in a preset. Some of the shipping presets take advantage of this to mimic the sound and interface of various hardware units.vitocorleone123 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 1:17 am I compared Equilibrium to ProQ3 earlier today.
