hi

im having a lot of problems with T2's native eq. since it doesnt have a log display, it's very hard to work with mids and lows. What low cost alternatives should I persue? I've been eyeing trackplug by wavearts, i could get a student discount for $75 but im not sure... and all these mixing jobs are sure hurting because of this lack of log view ... argh

any input would help

Trackplug is excellent. Easy on CPU with a compressor and gate thrown in too. How about the free Nyquist eqs by Smart Electronics? I find those instantly gratifying :)

sounds like IIRs knows something here, that we don't...cool!

It's not cheap, but I am hooked on my Waves Renaissance EQs, they sound great. the only waves package you need is Renaissance IMO.

LOL yeah i was doing that with nyquist...... id prefer numbers at least... Even though I know what those lines mean... I dont know.... Ive tried all of those, and nyquist is my favorite... I just freaking want something. I tried out voxengo's EQ and i was like WOW yes, but... ill have to take your word, how long do i have to wait?

upset mixing for clients... :(

Have you tried using final mix with just one of the eq's active?
It doesn't rinse out the old cpu too badly used like that & it's free (always a bonus).
With any luck Mackie will release the eq on it's own at some point for use within tracktion, similar to the compressor, but you can still use it with the dynamics etc. turned off for now.

i hope. i dont know doesnt finalmix take up a lot of freaking cpu? even with it off.

I'm working with 30 so tracks that were recorded awfully...

I haven't tried it but FreEq Boy looks kinda interesting. Pretty close to free at $12.95. Anybody got opinions on this one?

Is it wrong for me to find it weird that you have "all these mixing jobs" yet you won't spring $129 on a great eq like Eqium, or even $75 on Trackplug? I bought the Eqium/Firium/Neodynium combo and they're all great.

At least it sounds like if you bought a good eq your mixing jobs apparently wouldn't be hurting anymore. :hihi:
