I wish they have reworked EQ4 instead. For some reason that's the only EQ thas sounds completely different from other QEs with exactly same settings. Just try it's 24 highpass filter at 100 Hz (and same Q)Too much low frequencies are still coming through for some reasons.

Other effects are top notch though. And I actually like the synth.

Interesting, i just tried this and you are completely right. I had never noticed this. Compared to Ozone EQ, Pro Q3 and Nova GE, TB EQ 4 let the most lows through on a hi pass w/ the same settings. Ozone and Pro Q3 sounded the most similar (almost identical).

Thanks Matt for conforming this. I have compared to Melda AutoDynamicEQ, ReaEq and also downloaded FabFilter EQ3 demo just to have more accurate measuring (+ FL EQ2).

Also, when inreasing the Q to the extremes, only Melda and FabFilter didn't fall apart and gave a nice clean resonance. Seems like not all EQ are same. In general, these two sounded identical quality wise.

Of course, sorry for the offtop. It just because I wanted to buy EQ4, as it has very fast workflow for small money.

You might want to send them a quick email. The 24db HP may actually only be running at 12db and be a bug.

I agree, TB makes a nice, easy to use EQ. I have the older model that came with a bundle I bought to get really good quality basics.
I started on Logic 5 with a PowerBook G4 550Mhz. I now have a MacBook Air M1 and it's ~165x faster! So, why is my music not proportionally better? :(

If the problem is actually the 24db HP not being accurate and the dev fixes it whis will cause a hell of projects that use this filter mode sound differently... ouch...

Here is a PluginDoctor comparison between TB eQ4 and Acon Equalize 2, both in HP 24dB/oct @ 100hZ

Yes, had a mail in my inbox. Looks nice, but I hate to download such a big installer including all the other stuff.

You can pick and and choose what to install during the installation process (at least on Mac you can)

But one has to DOWNLOAD the whole thing before, right?

You can also use the portable installer.

I think Fabfilter Twin 3 kinda made Flowtones pointless, don't you think? Similar features, vastly better GUI (Twin 3).

Any updates on this? Have you notified the dev about it?
I was just about to buy EQ4 and a few.

It's just a different implementation of hipass not a bug I think. Usually parametric eqs utylize butterworth hipass filter (acon, schaack, probably proq etc). TBeq4 uses different one which is very similar to hipasses in for example DDMF IIQPro or Luftikus Qrange.

MattLeschuck contacted Jeroen about this. Jeroen said that TB EQ 4 does -3db in the 24db filter.

Anyway, it still doesn't explain why way more low end still cutting through it. Not my cup of tea.
