I just thought about getting this EQ but I don't know if it's logical to buy this when you have Pro-Q3.

Also, when a plugin goes on sale with such a big amount of drop in price (just like in Waves plugins, all the time) it makes me believe this plugin should've not cost this much in the first place. If they can drop it to 40 USD in a sale, the original price must be 100 USD at max, not 300 USD. It just de-valuates their image in my opinion. To me, it means "plugin didn't cost that much actually, we overpriced it and some of you still bought it."

If you have Pro-Q3 then I don't see a reason to buy this. I don't own Pro-Q3 and I already have ilok and some SSL plugins, so it was a no brainer for me.

Does anyone here have an opinion on Sonible’s Smart EQ 3? Considering buying it since I love AI assisted stuff, gives you a nice quick starting point.

I thought that if you have the advanced version of their plugins you can use the modules as stand alone plugins?

I usually go for R-eq and then pro q3 if I need to get more detailed

Nectar 3 doesn't have that.

I like iZotope's Neutron EQ, or, as others mentioned, the Nectar EQ

ReaEQ does the job for me for low cpu, simple, no saturation EQ'ing. I'm not even on Reaper, but the ReaEQ and ReaComp are pretty essential to my workflow. Couldn't live without em :-)

That, and the HoRNet ChannelStrip.
No band limits, aliasing is the noise of freedom!

FabFilter Pro-Q 3 or Crave EQ

The Assistant feature can be handy with setups too.

DMG's EQuilibrium is top for me. So customisable & sounds great. Once I got the hang of the different settings my other eq's have all been collecting dust.

TDR Nova GE is excellent and fair priced. The free version is great too, it's pretty much the only EQ I use besides rare occasions when I want something less visual and with some mojo™ (I use Rule Tec for that).
