You obviously are new to production and just downloaded the most expensive things you could get your grubby little hands on. Sure they sound phenomenal but you do not want to add such charecter to each and every channel you proccess. For the most part you want a transparent EQ to boost subtle frequencies. Then when it comes time to master you mix you want to give it a warm analog EQ effect....The cubase built in EQ, the logic channel eq, and the ren EQ from waves are the work horse EQ's while the majority of the ones you mentioned are more or less effects.... Back on topic.. I agree alot its about what you make not what you use to make it. And if he can use reason to achieve everything more power to him. I have heard some amazing stuff come from reason I just find the ableton live + logic is my platform of choice... |
Silly? No not silly, smarty. I have a Athlon 3200+ with a uad and powercore pci card, and emu1212m onboard dsp effects (all in all it equals to around 6ghz of power), this system doesnt even budge if i add 10 sonalksis eqs. You obviously don't know anything about equalization. Sonalksis , psp master Q for example upsample and this in turn reduces aliasing artifacts, and also allow you do do more in terms of radical boosting or cutting. I know for a fact many engineers who use the eqs i mentioned on single tracks, guys who remix big name hip hop artists, rock bands, etc... The pultec eq on my uad is the best freakin eq ever, but it does add some color to the sound in a good way. You know how many artists put them on individual tracks to boosts lows and add high end presence. Alot! I'm no amateur and I know what i'm talking about. Sure you can get results with cubases eq, you can get results with reason as corbitt just proved to us. But why suffer using shitty eqs when there are better ones out there that will make your mixes sound more professional and not like a c64.
