Completely reconfigurable UI with set-up wizard to suit to your specific workflow
Extensive routing, grouping, channel and metering control
Extensive analyser functionality, including 1/3 octave, 1/12 octave, spectrograph

First-order, second-order, vintage, and tilt shelves
Classic DMG Bells and notches, with a +/-36dB range, and a Q range from 0.1 to 50
Classic DMG Shelves which let you move the resonance above or below the curve
Classic DMG Filters at 6/12/18/24/30/36/42/48 db/octave, sweepable resonance
M/S processing mode, allows you to process Mid, Side or the Stereo image
L/R processing mode, for independent Left and Right EQ
Surround sound support upto 7.1 DTS, with channel grouping matrix, and per-pair M/S processing
Per-band phase control, plus quick access to Linear, Analogue and Minimum phase modes
Extensive Impulse Response design controls, including a selection of parametric windows, length and padding
Vision
Flexible, modular, configurable UI
Big, clear, antialiased graph
Hi-res Spectrum analyser with multiple modes
Range, to scale the EQ response, both +ve and -ve
Frequency shift, to allow you to retune the response
Configurable multi-channel metering, supporting K-metering and variable ballistics
8 banks of A/B
Full preset management system
Undo/redo
Autolisten mode, for quick finding/adjustment of frequencies

i tried equality, and liked it, but in the end Fabfilter Pro q just sounded better to me and imo a more elegant interface (especially mid/side as you need to instances to utilize it)
So i just dont see the point in trying another graphical eq tbh.
Sorry that's not entirely relevant to your post :)
that does look nice kind of like equality v.2! |

| Yup, similar situation here. I tried Equality, but only after I already owned Pro-Q and Waves H-EQ and there was just too much redundancy. That's not a knock against Equality, though - it's a great EQ and it gets a lot of love by some serious industry pros. |

find the ddmf bundle better
Spline EQ is just on another level. Still needs a few developmentgs but its free unless you want more than 10 bands or something then its 15. BUt ya,basically it uses bezier curves allowing for things normal EQs can 't do. And there is there transpose paramater which for some really ed reason nobody else does. Even asked the fabfilter guy to add it, i mean it is such a basic feature everyone will use , and easy to implement. |

Testing the demo for this right now. I think this might actually become my go-to EQ.
Seriously awesome. Adaptive-Q (with inverse), various curve emulation for each type of filter, spectrogram, ability to shift the points up or down the spectrum as a unit, scale modifying, solo point listening, etc.
Most comprehensive EQ I've seen thus far. Of course, to each their own, but I can definitely recommend this at the moment as a top all-in-one solution. |

Whatever happened to decent sound design, tiny bits of cutting and boosting with a 6/12/18/24/48 filter slope?
Digital EQ's now have so many "repair" options, to turn sound in a direction so far away from what it ever was, that I see these tools more as retrospective mangling tools than "surgical precission" tools
Good sounds, well chosen for a mix, don't need EQ |

not sure what your point is. Rather annoying to hear the same utterances from great mixers passed on without consideration for the intended use of a tool. EDM was created by the abuse of tools. This ridiculous naturalism you seem to be pursuing is beyond retarded. ALmost like you and Joof and every other future dreading hairless ape should just suck each other off and then chip in for a delaurean and go back to a time where you can feel relevant.
The problem with purism is that your philosophy is always approaching an asymptote of stupidity. Why use EQs at all, compression is just a band aid solution for not enough cow bell, W]why use a synth when guitars are cool. I mean why do anything different....
meanwhile some kid using FL doing the wrong thing with the wrong tool is adding to music things you could and will never come close to. |

Ok, a bit more philosophical then
Content CREATION
Or content RECYCLING
In the "old" days the sound source was the center of the universe and one used tools to shape that sound
Nowadays you can record your grandma farting, put her though melodyne or stick her in one of the many "waveshaping" synths, to finish it of to a near unreal dubstep wobble with an EQ like above.
Modern producing moved from source to proces. IMHO i don't think this is progress, i think it's over availabillity of content and the urge ITB producahs feel as a need to "differientate" since ITB sounds are all maths, possibilities are unlimited.
However that doesn't mean that more processing is better, that doesn't mean that using 8 plugins in a row makes you cutting edge, or high pass a bassline, with linear phase and transpose it with above EQ and call it an ultra cool lead will not be looked upon as pathetic.
i guess the waiting is on 1 VST that does it all, Dynamic EQ, compression, sidechaining, phase widening and all the other 23 ty algo techniques that keep on being repackaged in different GUISs all the time. Put some Afrojack presets in there too while at it and all nu guys will find it "groundbreaking" again. I'm not behind, or ahead, there is no curve, at the end there is just me.....
If tomorrow someone would write a VST that could breakup each song into a full DAW project full midi with patches creates automatically for your synth of choice, now THAT would be nice, if they also could extract the vocal as perfect accapella while at it, it would be groundbreaking.
Regarding the FLStudio kid with differentiation deficiency:
Everybody is phissing in the same pond
Same daws, same plugins, same workflow, same samples, same soundsets, same remixpacks, same templates, same youtube tuts, same.........
No one needs more Ableton minimal techno, or vengeance / nexus template house.
The pond is empty, it has been pissed in, in and now it's dried up they found your grandma laying on the bottom too. I hope u understand I don't want to phish there anymore. I also didn't like the pond better before they dumped your granny in there, so no need to desire what has been. Your horizon can be as wide as 360c.
Now... Neither is phissing a popularity contest, you do it because you like it. You don't need telling me where to fish... L4C you're not next level, your being caught up in NU land.....
Though the vst name implies balance, driven by boredom pirated abuse by that FLkiddie will be it's destiny....... |

| I managed to get Waves H-EQ during the year-end sale in 2012, and its great for what I need. This looks good, but I have no reason to get another EQ just like the one I already have. |

So what? This kind of thing has been going on for ages. There are any number of respected electronic artists who have been much more about processing than finding the perfect, pristine source: for example, Brian Eno.
I mean, if you are really so much against content "recycling," why even bother with a form of music where since the 90s practically all percussion has been based on borrowing and transforming samples. Unless you're telling me you want to use nothing but synths or your own recordings for that, too. |
