That feature (which was added this April) is one of those "why didn't anyone think of this sooner" ideas for sure. I absolutely love it. Also, the ability to split any point to L/R right there on the curve is very smooth indeed.4damind wrote:Btw. the intelligent mute mode of the updated Pro-Q version is very interesting. It's a bit like Auto-Listen from Equality but will enabled directly inside the curve in the layered info window.
Equality VS Pro-Q (final answer, Equality).

I'm bored of this thread now. I need to actually be building the product. Krzysztof already has Photoshop open.
And it'll be a free upgrade for existing EQuality owners.
Enough of this; as much as I love hanging out chatting about these things (and I do), I +REALLY+ need to get code written
Dave.
Knock it out of the park and I will be there to catch it.
I am only loyal to Fab Q until something else truly kicks its ass on all levels.

Isn't all digital EQ's sounds same? People claim all the time "that EQ sounds so shit blaablaa". I'm using FL's own PEQ2, cause it is super super light on cpu, has really nice "analyzer". It get job done. I don't hear any difference on using PEQ2, equality or pro-q. Sure there is differences between linear phase and so on modes, but in digital, they all just sound same imo..

Try measuring frequency responses. EQuality is far beyond Pro-Q, or any other digital EQ for that matter, in Digital mode.keel wrote:Isn't all digital EQ's sounds same?

There was a thread on this on GS. Go find that. EQuality is the only EQ that passes every test for signal processing.
Dave.
TL;DR: Really, really, really no. Handling of top-end by Digital EQs is a minefield fraught with problems. EQuality actually solves the problem. If you find you need three bands in most EQs to get your top-end to sound good, you can probably do it in one with EQuality.

What Dave said. The acid test is the top end, particularly when boosting it. EQuality shines for this.keel wrote:Isn't all digital EQ's sounds same?

Here's a simple test: Take a track of cymbals, and add a sharp hp filter at around 3k. On a low-quality eq, that's usually enough to wreck things all on its own. The cymbals will often start to sound a bit..."crispy" (as in "fried", not "crisp and clear"). To further aggravate things, start boosting at frequencies above the HP cutoff. On a "so-so" eq, the problems become immediately apparent.
So as much as all digital eq's are theoretically the same, in practice, they are most certainly not.

Hopefully you have my reply.keel wrote:Dave, i sent you video about equality cpu-usage. I forgot to say in email, that I have Q9550 processor.
We'll absolutely get to the bottom of this.
Dave.

Did I miss something?ttoz wrote:They are two popular products, and money is tight and pro-q is cheaper, so again, i am just thinking, thinking.
Equality = 99.99£
Pro-Q = 129£
Or do you have a discount coupon?

He has a discount coupon.
Can someone tell me to get off the internet and write some code please?
Otherwise I'll be emailing and forum posting all day.
