This is a spin off thread of the "do you use a sub when mixing" poll I posted this morning.

I thought it appropriate to mention and to discuss.

This is a fairly new processor - released in early 2015 - and developed by Fabrice Gabriel, who has done quite a bit of modeling for Slate Technologies, (although this particular one isn't a Slate Product) this EQ is interesting, both in the way it's designed, and in the way that it reacts - which is user determined by the "types" of EQ'ing you want to do.

Amplitude and frequency explained.
The basics of bass, mid range and high frequencies, cut and boost, filtering and similarities to frequency response diagrams.

Enjoy,

I thought a discussion would be in order, considering that most of us will often use both.

Accordingly, I thought it would be interesting to see what our members think, and how you approach the order of EQ and Compression in a mix...

The discussion doesn't need to be limited to just the track level, or just the bus level.

A "smart EQ". Interesting concept.

"The core of frei:raum is a fully interactive equalizer with state of the art mastering quality. Each band can either be used in classical mode for manual EQing, or in the unique "smart" mode, offering automatic detection and removal of problematic resonances in different frequency bands."

I downloaded the demo for the soft tube trident eq, and I really like it,but its too pricey.

Can anyone suggest an EQ plugin thats not so expensive .
I need one that can bring out the hi freq and not get ugly .

ATM I have the stock pro tools eqs, the mCDsp AE 400, Tokyo dawn slick eq .

I know it's been a long wait for a picture of the new. . wait for it. TUBE EQ! So here it is. It is a Pultec EQP-1A style EQ, with high voltage tube makeup gain just like the original! It utilizes CineMag input and output transformers, a CineMag inductor, Tung Sol high-end tubes out of the box (12AX7 and 12AU7).

I am so happy! According to Tim, Magix is going to replace the stock EQ with the EQ116, as the standard EQ. This is great news because this EQ is incredible.

I wonder if this will also include Samplitude. I will ask and report back.
