Both have one thing in common: both waste a lot of real-estate with nothing but empty space. I can't follow the decision making for such designs, but maybe that's just me.

Why does your screenshot look so much different from the one on the product page?

It's two things: I didn't activate the dynamic EQ. I suppose a normal EQ is what will be used most of the time. For the dynamic EQ additional controls will be displayed. Second, I didn't resize the window in a way so that the empty areas are barely visible. I like to use my screen real-estate to see what's going on and adjust the EQs finely.

It's delayed, but they promise it will come out as early as this winter.

Nice

Is Patrick aware that brands other than Roland exist?

This is the first TAL plugin I've never auto-purchased. Strange decision of his, but I hope it's successful.

It is certainly much cheaper. I myself own a shitload of eqs, and I think if you are not looking for universal eq (cause you already own pro-q4 or toneboosters) you are not the target group. And to be honest, I would save my bucks if it is only adding a few features that I never missed until now in the first place. There´s nothing I want to do that I cannot realise with toneboosters eq4, or alternatively one of the many coloured eqs.

It can run natively on Linux

Exactly; dont fall for Windows 11 pro(sumer) or the Adam & Eve trap.

Sure but Tonoboosters doesn't have a Machine ID (C/R) authorization.... /s

Wait, are you implying that TAL EQ is doing C/R? Is it not just a serial?

I'm not implying it, TAL is...

From the TAL-EQ Product Page wrote: The plugin will run in demo mode without registration. You will receive a key after the payment. The plugin will ask for the key if you open the UI. You need to be online, but offline registration is also possible. You can always login and download the key.

From the FAQ wrote: You can register the plug-in on up to 4 systems. Our portal tracks the number of activations and you see them in your account.
You can delete registered computers in your user account after one year. We can also delete earlier in special cases. Contact us for this.

Offline activation is also possible. Choose Register Offline Device... from your user account and paste the offline Device ID from the plugins registration dialog on the computer where you want to register the plug-in. After that, you can download a special offline registration serial key. Paste it like the normal key to activate the product.
Our products validate the computer registration from time to time.

As in so many cases the KVR product database is useless when it comes to specify the DRM since apparently there's no standard at all... just call it key file or serial and omit the fact that it still needs online access to a server to actually authorize the product. It's even worse when the developers try to hide it on their own site and/or documentation. At least TAL has it in their FAQ, even if the product page screams of the intention to make it vauge on purpose... and since it vauge I can be wrong but nothing makes me think I am, however I wish I was.

Tough to appeal to folks who already enough EQ in their toolbox, might be appealing to those just starting out though especially based on the really fair pricing at 1/3 the price of Pro Q4
