Had GEQ for ages.

So versatile.

It's bass cut is the best I've used. De-mudding a speciality

As MrM says ... try it

I love it. Very useable, doesn't do anything bad to your sound, flexible band control, and the various curve types are very nice to work with. My favourite EQ.

But yes, try the demo first. That's the only way to be sure, and it's only a limited time trial, no dropouts or timeouts.

Cheers,
steve

Of course.

I did install it this fall but forgot to try it out before the 2 week trial period. Something came up.

At least by reading through these posts I found out that Kjaerhus will extend the trial period by 7 days if you need it, which I did ask for I got the key this morning. So I will be able to try it out.

Very cool customer support and nothing but praise here. I just wanted to check to make sure nobody would say "there are better for cheaper.." but not a one said that so its possible I get it after the 7 days.

I do need a visible EQ as opposed to the tiny 4-band from Cubase stock....

You should also demo the GlissEQ from Voxengo. Sonically, a bit different from GEQ but as high quality. Low CPU usage and a spectrum analysator included!

Yes I tried it but they don't take PayPal, my only online payment method.

I prefer the looks of Kjaerhus EQ for some reason...

Its layout seems better suited for me.
The knobs are a little more realistic, etc...

I got GEQ in the group buy recently. It is incredible!
I have at least one on every track I do. The cpu usage is really low and the eq is very transparent to my ears. From using it, you can tell the amount of time and energy that went into this. Kjaerhaus uses their own internal engines; so, the same quality and feeling is realized throughout their line. Besides, Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs up!

Prior to trying GEQ, I had used several free Eq's, both from here and in several host applications. I tried GEQ and I was floored, my jaw *literally* dropped. It is comparable to the difference of having the best surgeon in the world perform specialized brain surgery or having your friend remove your appendix.

So anyways, try it, buy it, use it, and love it.

I would suppose that if she was "removing" your appended parts, that she was your "X" getting some souvenir (?

?) or for revenge, or better still; equalization....
