Hi everyone,
These days I use quite often Posihfopit for my EQ/sound coloration needs, and I've been toying with the idea of getting its professional version, called Electri-Q, but there are no rewiews available for it yet, and I was wondering if the plugin was really 'high quality' and worth getting (though it's not expensive), compared to Voxengo CurveEQ and GlissEQ (from memory).
Also I was wondering what criterion one could use to determine whether an EQ plugin is considered 'high-quality', I remember using PlparEQ once, after reading rave rewiews about it here, but I for one couldn't tell if it was *that* good. (compared to others I mean)
I guess I'm not experimented enough yet, so I'm looking forward to hearing more educated opinions about that.
Cheers.
[EQ] Quality of a plugin, namely Electri-Q...

Well...it's all up to taste really. Posihfopit, has a warmer, colored sound. It's musical and adds to the character of the instruments in your mix, while at the same time EQing the frequencies....same can be said for Tritone digital's EQ's (valvtone62' and HydraTone), and even voxengo's Curve EQ and Lampthruster (although, i've only tried the demos of those, haven't got the full product). Now, and EQ like PLParEQ, while it does sound fantastic, is more for mastering and problem EQing...where you don't want to add too much color to the sound, but instead, remove or add frequencies as transparently as possible. It also allows for you to process the left and right channels independently of a each other, so you can achieve a better phase balance.
There are lots of EQ's out there, obviously. I would recommend the following for a person that doesn't have the world to spend:
Tritone Digital EQs (both of them)
for track and mixdown EQing.
Elemental Audio's Firium EQ for mastering and surgical EQing.
Hope that helps a bit!
Peace

I think the main difference between poshifopit and Electri-Q is that the commercial version has more filters.
As far as plugin EQs are concerned, poshifopit is really special: Even with qualitity EQs like Hydratone, Q-Clone or PLPARQ, which all sound excellent, a lot of boosting will sound annoying very quickly. Not so with poshifopit, it's amazing how much you can dial in while retaining smoothness (and gaining clarithy). It's also a lot punchier on the bass in certain situations than all the other EQs. Add the excellent interface, and it's a no-brainer. I consider to buy Electri-Q just to support the developer, he really deserves it.
