Recommend me a eq plugin

Post by crowbgood1 »

I need a eq plugin. I have upgraded to 64 bit and have lost my waves plugins that I bought 8 years ago. I was a fan of the waves vq3 and vq4. I know I could get a bridge but I might need a change. What do you guys recommend?

Oh....VST

Logic or Tools?

This won't be the cool response, but for me I tend to use the stock EQ. Logic 7 band to be precise. Works great and although I can play with other emulated EQ's I don't really hear a difference.

Cubase. Yes the stock eq works well. I just was looking at plugins. I have a Rupert Neve 5033 on trial.. $350 bucks!! Just wondering what everyone else was using.

For (amazing) utility, Fabfilter Pro-Q2
For colour, I like the Stillwell 1973

Depends what money (or illegal cracks) you have...... I use the Waves Renaissance Channel quite a bit as it also has compression, a gate and a few other things. If you want to spend more though some of the SSL and API plugins are great. I bought the CLA2a Comp last week. Sounds awesome on vocals. Oh, to own a real one......

Nice Alan, but already got a couple of outboard eq's. None with that many knobs though!

I suppose you could call it that...

All 5 of the modules are excellent.

5th one is a harmonic exciter/saturator. There's a trim/phase module too, but that's not very exciting.

Also- the harmonic exciter is free. You download the whole rack as a demo and that one keeps working after the others have expired.

The SSL EQ is mucho magic mojo.

Better get the credit card out! They are digitally reliced. I can not resist.
