One thing is actual difference between same sounds processed with different plugins but with matched parameters, this difference indeed is abysmal, to the point that no producer/audio engineer with 20+years experience in the industry won't tell you the difference in a blind test. Another is usability: how fast and precise you can achieve your objective with tools that are given to you. Using ReaEQ might be not as convenient as Ableton's EQ8, that's where plugins might matter. There is a reason for other plugins to exist because UX and UI might make a big difference in process and make you more or less effective.

[@marcito12345]

Hes not wrong about the curves and matching them making no difference but with some EQs you have measurable saturation and harmonics, that you just can not 1:1 match with another eq If it matters ofc depends on the amount of harmonics the eq is actually introducing and how audible it is in practice

[@artephank]

It’s like telling that you don’t need different screwdrivers since they all do the same thing.

[@Anktual]

That's not valid. You're seeing eq as a saturator.

[@marcito12345]

@@Anktual back in the hardware days everything you plugged in, everything you inserted had some saturation, which (together with the curves) gives the EQs their individual color its very much valid and way more subtle than a saturator and a major reason for many people to buy hardware emulations in the first place Its great that these days there is the choice of "100% linear or with its own color"

[@artephank]

@@Anktual to some extend - it is. There is no one "golden" implementation of EQ - there are at least several ways to do parametric EQ (which is evident on the video - those don't cancel ideally). But my comment was more general workflow thing - if is still ok to have different tools, even if they do same thing, if some of them are more convenient in certain operations. Only if the difference is UX, it would be still valuable to have different tools.

[@foshizol]

If I'm being really honest, I have bought EQ plugins because I liked the UI. But, honestly I really can't tell the difference between any of them. I'm part of the problem..... :(

[@DavidMorley]

I think most people kind of know this, but it's a KZbin thing. You have thousands of "pro" KZbinrs, shilling plug ins. So KZbinrs also have to point out that no EQ is mind blowing or a game changer. It all equals clicks! In the real world, most producers or engineers use the desks eq, whatever that might be, and have a few choice eq's for specifics. But it is just absurd how many plugins there are that will not give you anything you don't already have. (features excluded)

[@ernestwilliams6616]

If you've been doing music for years this is something you will natural come into and start shedding plugins. It's all about workflow buying, replacing, or upgrading based on your workflow needs. Rookies will fall for the hype and buy plugins, but they will get experience in return that will contribute to their personal workflow and productivity. if they understand you develop sound quality when it's time to mix, then the hype of a new sounding plugin becomes white noise.

[@kberlinquette]

With an EQ, if you have to zone in a a certain frequency THAT bad... you might need to reconsider learning sound design a little better (which is ok). I learned by dissecting others music, Remaking the exact same song with the exact same instruments. If you can remake someone else's song from scratch and it sounds the same, you got good at sound design. Take those skills into your own project and apply them. It's surprising the amount you learn by doing this.

[@HarvesteridiosMoufidios]

cramping is a thing that matters but there are some other factors too to this matter, when they were designing audio equipment back then it was always part of the design, specially for the EQs, the "musicality" of the unit, meaning saturation and response curves tuned to what was considered to be pleasant, that doesn't mean a magic sound though, it just means a much better starting point, if and only if the characteristics of the unit corresponded to what the specific sound needed, that's why unit A was considered good for vocals and unit B for drums for example saturation can be found in other plugins also so it's not so crucial and the "musicality" design can be replaced by the experience of the mixer to know what kind of eq curve makes what sound better, so yes definitely we are getting some BS from marketing ranging from exaggeration to lies with all that being said I use a pultec emulation in every track of every mix, 70% of the times is used slightly to heavily and because I am used to it I get to the sound I want in 2' and then use something more modern like proQ for the finetuning, the other 30% it's only on for the saturation and you can check this, it may be true that in a single track adding some saturation makes little difference (still significant IMHO), but it adds up bro, i suggest that you take an existing mix, add some really subtle tape saturation in every channel, including the master and compare the exports with and without the saturation

[@fluxrose6912]

[@DaveChips]

New plugins and different EQs, for me are matter of convenience. I feel like I'm overly judging myself when I boost something 8-10-12db on Fabfilter due to visual curves... Compared to any knob EQ. Turn the knob +15db, sounds good... Move on!

[@inspir.edmusic]

Bro just put an ad for an EQ plugin in the middle of a video about how you don’t need multiple EQ plugins.

[@nonopepe3471]

The thing about EQ curves and bell shapes is that each VST imparts its own unique character. For example, using FabFilter allows for a variety of specific and often distinct bell shapes. In contrast, working with API, SSL, or Pultec EQs results in characteristic bell shapes unique to each. The benefit of these VSTs lies in their distinct flavours (bells, frequency, harmo saturation...) and the limitations they impose on processing. The magic happens when you combine these limitations, creating a consistent approach to shaping the frequency response of your sound. The Pultec trick, for instance, is limited but incredibly effective in certain frequency areas, If it doesn’t work well with your bus, it might indicate a need to rebalance something in the mix. This nuanced approach is special and something you can't achieve with FabFilter alone (I mean, it's really hard, haha).

[@DmitryPuffin]

Russian youtuber/sound engineer was doing the same investigation, but he was measuring Nonlinear distortion. Result: almost all EQs are quite clean, without any nonlinear distortion, except Pulsar Massive, but that plugin has a drive knob.

[@Reggi_Sample]

Some EQs have more phase interference and noise than others, with different anti aliasing filters or approach to cramping. His null test didn’t null btw

[@DmitryPuffin]

​@@Reggi_Sample People are talking about vintage emulation eqs in terms of "color" eq, but in reality just adding extra saturator before or after digital eq will do the same job. Filters usually have more or less same phase changes because EQing is achieved by phase change (not talking about linear phase, ofc). You can still buy modelled EQ just because you like EQ curves/design, its just a preference.

[@tonygunz21]

If you just absolutely feel the need to buy plugins for mixing, the fabfilter suite will cover pretty much everything.

[@aspillane123]

I would argue these "differences" matter more often at the mastering stage. of course what sounds good is good, but knowing the technicalities of engineering can further someones mixing/mastering skills. Unless of course someone is so fixated on the technicalities that they throw everything else out the window.

[@emiel333]

Weaver, agree, the listener doesn’t hear the difference between an analog eq or harsh digital eq, but that’s not the point here. We, as producers, hear the difference (at least, I hope other producers do) and that’s part of the point. It depends on what a producer wants to achieve when it comes to eq or any other effect plug-in. Shaping the sound you desire and trying it to translate from your brains to your daw. Well, enough said, I also come back to FabFilter each time..

[@tasenova2717]

I'd still spend the money for fabfilters. I've tried so many eqs, and there's even one that plugin alliance made, but the company just knows ease of use. I feel like this video shouldn't have started with comparing graphic eqs. i wouldve started comparing analog ones

[@unnecessary-roughness3303]

what i learned from coding is how does it effect the end user. does the end user care about analog EQ's?

[@KpopIsDead69]

all digital plugins sound the same to me.. (but fabfilter is hands down the easiest to work it. its so intuitive and easy to learn.. its ridiculous.) but going from a digital TAPE plugin to something like "Hardware Neve 542 Tape Emulators" is night and day the NEVE 542 sounds and feels so ALIVE and the impact is actually there. we need to go back to hardware plugins. cause no digital plugin can mimic CHAOS THEORY

[@brainrottedindividual]

i get that eqs do all the same, but being comfy with a good ui is a thing that makes working faster and easier, and ultimately more joyful. i just still use fl studio eq2, mainly cause i'm broke, but also i just know how to use it by now. getting another eq is way down my purchase list tho. still, you could make the argument for any hardware synth nowadays. you could get it all cheaper via vsts. but having an object to play with is a different thing, the feel will make you work different, and having a whole instrument to play is just way more fun for some people than loading up vsts and controlling them with the same midi keyboard or whatever. everyone is different in that sense. everyone should make music how it's fun and productive for them. and if some people need to use an armada of eqs to be happy, than that's ok i think. the creative process doesn't necessarily have to make 100% sense or be logical or economically sound.

[@BillyTheKidsGhost]

Whenever I hear people say,'' science''... I think FU! as a knee-jerk reaction... And just automatically hate every word that proceeds. 😅

[@dasdeck]

Many EQs are similar, true, but some do have actual different sound (phase response?), like for example much of the acoustica audio stuff. Try to mimic their eqs (cherry, sand, to name a few) with std. digital ones, no chance, pretty loud delta too.

[@joost3783]

That guy sounds like he has no experience at all IMHO. I hate time constants adjustments on dynamic eq it just makes it so complicated. Fabfilter definitely did that intentionally and that is why it is so popular. And its not just the attack release that get adjusted, the proQ also rides the threshold, so you get a similar amount of attenuation throughout parts with very different loudness.

It kind of misses the point. Functionality is important, it changes how you use them and the outcomes. The more limited EQs benefit from limiting your choices so you can work faster and not think about it so much. Visual eqs can ruin your mixes easily. There's lots of reason to use different tools beyond purely how they sound.

[@ropedragon9709]

[@dddux]

Companies use good looking GUIs, especially hardware like GUIs, and brand names like SSL, NEVE, API... to scam users into buying them, because our brains are so stupidly attracted to nice looking GUIs that we think better looking plugins automatically sound better. There are differences in DSP code, but there aren't nearly as big as they would like you to think. There are free or cheap plugins that have same quality audio DSP as expensive ones. I suppose the GUI designers cost, too... but TDR plugins are free or cheap and sound and look great, for example.

[@RealFitchEmerson]

[@EVILJAMARR]

I stopped buying plugins years so. I bought Duck just because it makes interesting side chaining but that’s it. I agree with you on Fab Filter. I use their limiter as well as the EQ and Multiband. I use those or stock.

[@markderv]

Kirchoff eq has time adjustment for dynamics.

[@sburton84]

Yep, I use Kirchoff instead of Pro-Q and it's useful sometimes to have those controls. Although I certainly wouldn't say that dynamics in Pro-Q are useless, usually they give a good result quickly without needing to tweak the time settings, Fabfilter are really good at setting these sort of settings automatically to speed up the workflow.

[@morgan0]

if it's nonlinear then it's gonna matter more, but most eqs are linear. also sometimes there's different ways the parameters shape the curve, but that affects how you interact with it more than the sound typically

[@morgan0]

but i have been working on my own eq, but it's different in many ways, mostly on purpose, and definitely has its own sound, because it's nonlinear, so i am probably a bit biased

[@morgan0]

like you can't do this matching between a linear and nonlinear filter, if the nonlinear is at all close to saturating. in a way it's like a dynamic eq in that the shape depends on the input level of that band, but also adds harmonics. maybe in something where that's very subtle it wouldn't matter much, but in mine you can push the signal to absolute destruction, where some waveshaper distortion is probably going to be easier to match it with.

[@morgan0]

it also does have a fancy ui, but not realistic knobs or whatever

[@Gauddus]

He has a point, digital is digital. The fact that he doesn't completely nulls is just that he didn't get the curves 100%. You also can expand his point to reverbs. There have been many blind tests on YT where it just not audible if its a cheap one or expensive. Stock is good enough. The main reason otherwise is functionallity or GUI.

[@sburton84]

Most of the time the different curves of these "character" EQs can be replicated using standard EQs, but that doesn't mean there's no point using them, the workflow advantages of just putting an EQ on and instantly getting the result you want over spending 10 minutes trying to replicate the curve in another EQ is worth the cost to some people.

[@Gauddus]

@@sburton84 character plugins are just a skill issue. A pro-q3 with the auto-gain turned on will tell you everything you will need to know. Character plugins are usually limited compared to a Pro-q3 so you'll end up using more plugins. Presets are just as fast, you can even tell it to load as default.

He keeps saying "basically"/"essentially"/"virtually" the same and then tried to sell them as being identical. Small changes that appear to be irrelevant by listening to the delta alone do not make them irrelevant. If you listen to de-essers and mastering filter delta (software and hardware), they often only remove as much as I can hear in the delta of his testing, meaning they clearly do alter the overall sound. So if different EQs have different delta, it can literally make a difference and literally does not sound the same. He is also totally ignoring the fact that the GUI makes a plugin more user friendly/useable for some users in specific use cases, and even some use cases, e.g. more useable when using a controller device that can be mapped 1:1 to a plugin to speed up workflow, or that the GUI feels familiar to users who worked (or previously worked) on hardware consoles, so familiarity of SSL console plugin (or similar) will speed up their workflow. He is totally ignoring the workflow element of different plugin designs and entirely focusing on audio, which is not the only factor, both from a plugin manufacturer and a customer.
