I need a dual mono EQ like the EQsat+ or Eqium.

I cant use EQsat+ cuase i dont have a powercore any longer.
The Eqium cost to much cpu-power.

Do you guys know any other EQ's that i can set diffrent curves and diffrent hi/lowpass for left and right?

hmmm, just wonder if there is theoretically anything that could cost less cpu cycles than EQium? hmm....

I mean, there may be something - but it might not be worth considering it sonically.....

Eqium using too much cpu? you sure? its one of the lightest high quality EQs out there

Hmm are you shure? Mabey i shoulld give it another go then?

I used 2 equim and it took half my cpu power.

Maybe you're confusing Eqium with Firium? Eqium is really light on CPU, I use it as my default track eq, and have almost 20 of them running in every project I make.

Hi no im not confusing it with Equim.
I have too give it another try in an empty project and see what went wrong.

Well...there is always the Waves Q10.

You know...why any developer would deliberately choose to omit independant left/right channel filtering options on an EQ has always been something I have never been able to understand.

One of the great mysteries of life.

No way Eqium should be using that amount of CPU. I guess if you had an incredible amount of filters activated, you might bump up the CPU. That plug-in is relatively light on CPU.
I'd be hesitant to suggest another that allows you to equalize on left and right independently, until you get that CPU issue figured out.

kjaerhus golden eq allows independent eqing of the left & right channels.
SpinAudio spinEQ does also, a free 4 band version used to be included with computer music magazine, maybe it still is?

You can also give a try to Blue Cat's Music Software Stereo Parametr'EQ:
http://software.bluecatonline.org/Produ ... arametrEQ/

this should do the trick, it has quite low CPU consumption and has the features you need: 7 switchable independent left/right parametric Bands including 5 band filters, a low shelf and a high shelf filter.

You can download the free demo to have a better idea.

(BTW to be honest this is self promotion, but I hope it helps)

Bluecat, but no low and higpass?

No, it doesn't.

But since gain can be set down to to -40dB it can almost act as a highpass/lowpass, depending on your need of course.
