I've expected lots of complains about the sublety of the effect but I did not expect that much "there is nothing to hear - is this kaputt?" complains.

I've meanwhile investigated around five such cases to assure that the plug-in ain't broken in that specific enviroment but all were really healthy and not kaputt.
So by now I don't spent any more effort on this reports ....

This are not that obvious effects but they draw distinction for shure.
I would recommend to use a full spectrum signal (a mix or so) to get used to the pre-amp simulator effects.
If one expect/want more explicit effect then I recommend something like NastyCS.

Okay, I tested it on my DAW.

AWESOME!!!
(Now should be the time to admit that it was fcuking dumb to try it on my internet machine with a multimedia subwoofer system.

)

The tube effect is obvious indeed. I like the way it behaves linked to the LF parameter. I tried it on a house pattern I made a few days ago and the bassdrums gets this analog feeling, unbelievable. The harmonic distortion is very good, but I must admit I like the modern one more than the vintage one.

CPU consumption: almost 10% on my P4 DAW, that's not much indeed.
(I have to get a new DAW!

)

Thanks for this great EQ.

Do not worry,!!!!!

I spent all last night testing this plugin out with all sorts of materiale.
Who said kaput?????
This thing does not only do what it promise to do,it does it so well and
those who cannot hear the difference should stop making music and start
selling shoes!
I never been very convinced about digital EQ's,but this one is just so
different,so smooth so good.
If anyone out there cannot hear what this thing does,I think its time to
take a look at what you are using when you listen.

Baa, this looks superb, cannot use it though. Are all you guys working on 44,1/48kHz?
Bootsie, maybe the preamp section works as desired with different rates? So I'd just skip the eq?

bootsie · Post by **bootsie** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:22 am

yes, that should work in principal although it hasn't been really tested.

Thanks Bootsie for this great plug.
When select a preset (when run inside Wavelab) the knobs are not moving to their settings.
It needs a click in the middle of a knob to let it jump to it.
In Cubase SX2 it works great.

It's as always, like in most threads about Nebula. Some people hear "the magic" subtleties, some don't. It's also important to note that it is very much program dependent. Some material is easier to hear harmonic distortion than other.

Cheers!

I finally had a chance to try this out on a mix and it sounds wonderful. The preamp/tube section really adds a wonderful sweetness to everything I tried it on. In fact, I was surprised by how I could push it without it sounding bad. Thanks Bootsie!

Amazing, another really high quality plug. I've just tried replacing BootEQ with BootEQmkII in a few songs and love the results. Thank you Bootsie.

Release: BootEQmkII (was BootEQ 1.1 ...)
