While we are at it, Anyone tried the Overtone DSP's AF2-10 ? The thing with LP10 is that it adds latency in both MP mode and LP mode whereas equalities doesn't add latency in Minimum Phase which is said to preserve the transient a lot better then regular digital eq. Tried their reverb though and it was a bit to heavy on cpu for me ( like 8% on my quad core q6600 )īTW i was mixing yesterday and used the LP10 in minimal phase on pretty much every track and it sounded good. The GUI is different than anything else out there and I think the sound is good. They have a 4 band freebie and an inexpensive commercial version. Also the expensive plugs having an all-in-one, very well implemented GUI is a workflow enhancement but I dont think either one sounds better than the DDMF EQ's.Īnother EQ to check out is Spline EQ. There are some useful extra features in the more expensive plugs that may or may not be worth the extra money. LP10 + IIEQ for $80 will do "almost" everything that ProQ2 and Equality can do. I would definitely say that IIEQ is the king of the low priced clean EQ's. Adding and deleting bands is no longer a frustrating PITA.

DDMF just updated IIEQ pro to 3.2 today.finally making the GUI much less annoying to me.

ProQ2 was a fairly recent and major update and now many people think the gap has been closed. Alot of folks who prefferred DMG Equality were comparing it to ProQ1. But sometimes these graphs can be MIGHTY useful. Also I find the Melda spectrograph to be the best visual aid of any EQ on the market. To generalize, Nova will have more gentle cuts and boosts at the same visual settings. keep in mind that Nova is a parallel EQ so it functions differently than the Melda. You have to spend a lot more to get anything that'll beat it. If you don't want to have to think about all this foolishness and just want to get a clean EQ that is superb sounding in every respect without spending a lot, just get DDMF IIEQ Pro and be done with it.
I haven't tried Nova, but depending on whether some very specific features I crave are included, if it had been around I might not have bought the Melda. I prefer Melda's Dynamic EQ, but that's because I bought it before Nova's new one came out. That's why it's remarkable when a 'clean' EQ can boost really well, without coloration or causing any other problems. I tend to think color EQs are the go-to thing for boosting in general, because it's so hard to do well without some kind of trickery involved like saturation or distortion or otherwise. I tried out Acon Equalize, I found it had an excellent GUI and was intelligently and thoughtfully designed, but DDMF bested it in the sound department. The Fabfilter is supposed to be one of the best around, but I never tested it because in my research I read widely that it directly competed with DMG Audio's EQs but never surpassed them, and it was much more expensive than all of them except EQuilibrium. Other EQ's that see regular use that i think sound great for cuts AND boosts Then again I am the one guy who seems to like the Melda EQ GUI. I own IIEQ pro - I like the sound but I dont like the GUI. I dont think there is a better do-it-all EQ under $100. I seem to be the only one on the Acon Equalize bandwagon but you guys should check it out. I'm going to assume that it because it is more expensive than all the ones mentioned so far (except Equilibrium). This thread seems to focus on the clean variety but some of the colored EQ's sound great for boosting.Īlso Fabfilter ProQ 2 is conspicuously absent from the discussion of best clean EQ's. If I end up needing it then I would have had to have both IIEQ Pro and LP10, which brings the price up to $80 to get both and EQuick isn't so much more expensive then (plus I got a second hand license, so it was actually cheaper). One of the deciding factors for me going with DMG was their ability to run in linear phase in all of their EQs, making them an all in one solution. PS: unfortunately AirEQ requires an iLok2 - which I don't (want to) have. Great forum, I love you allĮDIT: no, the shelves don't sound good at allĭMG Equilibrium this time definitely was happening! Likely the best in this scenario. Please try the demo, guys, I want to hear your findings!Īnd stay civilized, haha. EQuality indeed sounded very (!) good, the LP10 still sounds more elegant (hard to describe), and one EQ that made a really really good impression - not only because you can switch the filter behaviour - was GlissEQ by Voxengo! Another contender for the best general use eq, I think. This time I tried to boost 8k on a mono overhead mic track. Now that I've checked the same bunch of EQs (plus 2 more) on different material, things are getting difficult, haha.
