HOLY WOW - The Kirchhoff EQ Is INCREDIBLE

[@Producelikeapro]

What do you look for when purchasing an EQ? Share below

[@Czyszy]

gain compensation

[@leefchapman]

First is the quality. Second is the UI/UX

[@TruthMirrororriM]

Visual feedback and ability to subtract trouble freqs and/or help correct masking.

[@k1ttyF158er]

For hardware, character. If it's a plugin, Precision & clarity.

[@ChrisIlett]

I recently bought the NSEQ-2 and it's amazing - can really bring out subtleties without upsetting the balance. I also got the bx_digital V3 for mastering. So far very impressed, though there is SO MUCH to it! With both, I was looking for something to colour the mixes in a really interesting way. Highly recommend trying both out from Plugin Alliance I was looking for a Curve Bender kind of experience. I got what I wanted For channel strip EQ I want some colour again, and to limit my options. Cut it or crank it. API 550 / Scheps 73 etc The Kirchhoff looks ideal for anything needing more attention.

[@yeah_3d]

In case you are wondering why the spectrograph was show noise on the master buss when nothing was playing,. It's because a plugin(s) is leaking noise. That's how sensitive their spectrograph is. I identified 6 plugins that I own that are leaking noise, half were console emulators & one was a de-esser. I saw the same thing when I downloaded the demo & tried it. So I bought it right away. Also for it's main features too.

Nice tool, seems really to be the one, which can do it all. Love the monitoring possibilities. Makes it even more than just an eq. Thanks

[@Producelikeapro]

Couldn't agree more!

[@whatspadethinks]

Skeuomorphism is totally farted at nowadays but I think when used creatively it is still useful. I love how this interface combines the FabFilter style layout with the model specific control pop up. Selecting an SSL model and then seeing the controls change to the classic console knob colors is badass. Plus it's useful if using many instances of this plugin...you can click through identify what model you're using by the knobs.

[@KohleAudioKult]

Looks like a "best of both worlds" EQ! Modern features and vintage sound (if needed). Great!

[@xBRoyalx]

it only replicates the curves, it does not add the "sound" of the modeled eqs.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Kristian!

[@CharLessMajor7Music]

I like using the blue eq or the “maag” and crank up that 20-30k air band on this. Also the customization of the looks of the plugin so it won’t look like ff Q3 is fun. Lol plus mixed phase mode!

[@Producelikeapro]

You're right!

[@pnxrth7362]

How do I use dynamic eq for a narrow band? Trying to filter out a resonance but it is doing the opposite of what I want. It is attenuating less when the resonance is present and starts cutting when it is not there.

[@mattlangeaudio]

This thing really is incredible. Truly.

[@5ision]

[@conceptSde]

I have been really hesitant so far spending money on EQs except the ones coming with my Waves packages. Usually I use Logic OOB EQs, classic console channel plugins (mostly SSL 4000) and the TDR Nova as dynamic EQ. ProQ has always been tempting, but I have never did that step. Now the Kirchhoff looks like the thing I have always been looking for. And of course I want to win it.

[@kadiummusic]

Love TDR Nova, in fact love all the TDR plugins, don't understand why they are not talked about more.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment!

[@Producelikeapro]

@@kadiummusic I believe I reviewed TDR Nova several years ago

I don't get excited for many plugins and God knows I have enough...but this actually got me pretty dang excited.

[@Producelikeapro]

Me too!

[@johnwalter6410]

Pro Q does all this minus the emulations. But If I want an E channel EQ Ill use an SSL channel strip. Then do the corrective and dynamics with Pro Q. If you have Pro Q this is a waste of $

[@The-Skyking]

@@johnwalter6410 But that's $179 vs $119 plus you get the emulations...I do like a ssl strip plugin though.

I love it . I'm getting it. This thing is so versatile and very musical. Thanks for the content Warren, always enjoy watching and learning from you.

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

@Matt, the noise that you see is often from a plugin configured to create analog noise. The FFT from the Kirchoff is so sensitive that it displays everything in detail. The kirchoff is my main EQ and I have it for about 6 months, and still I find new things in this "beast". Personally I don't use the 117bit mode, I don't need that bit depth all the way till -300db, it makes no sense, it only eats CPU power. But on some materials, I use the look ahead function. Like high processed 808 drums. I use the Kirchoff because it is in my Plugin alliance suite. It came at the right time, because I was planning to buy the Fabfilter Q3.

[@florabee9283]

I’ve had this EQ for about a week now and it’s already changed my whole way of doing things, for the very much better. The specific case that had me try this was high hat taming, and I was glad to see that very situation addressed on this video! Bring up the sizzle and control the growl! I loathe using the term “game changer” but this EQ genuinely has.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing

[@Journeymanlive]

Game changer from ?

[@florabee9283]

@@Journeymanlive I was using parametric 4 bands before and separate compressors and such. The big change for me is the interface and having the spectrum graph the eq and the compression controls all in the same window. Granted there are infinite ways to achieve the same audio manipulations.

[@Journeymanlive]

@@florabee9283 Oh ok I see, then it's quite an upgrade. Coming from Pro-Q3, Pro-MB and Nova, I will totally pass on this one.

[@PauloARod]

I got this through the Plugin Alliance subscription and cannot understand how in this video he has 57 instances of this plugin. I got one instance to try it on a single channel and immediately my CPU spiked to the point I had to grab the ProQ3 instead but for those with newer and more powerful computers, I believe this is the dog's bollocks!

[@xpander8140]

Nice presentation, examples and all, thanks Warren. Not much missing from this feature packed eq and also some unique features not found elsewhere.

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed! We are all impressed

[@leonard.c]

I came here to get another opinion on the Kirchhoff-eq. Now I‘ve bought the eq + heard a fantastic track, can’t wait to mix! Thanks for the great video and the multitracks of course!

[@wibblewobble1934]

So this eq finally caught up to what Fabfilter ProQ3 was already doing, well done :D

[@st33Npuist]

@@darlenesheffield9835 yes! Indeed

[@DavidMohMusic]

How can vocals sound like that with just one compressor?.....I am in awe,,,, please explain? were the vocals tracked with compression?

[@Producelikeapro]

It depends, on review videos with interfaces unless the unit has a compressor built in I won't compress. However, on a recording where I'm not demoing what a unit can do I will use compression on the way in.

[@arizonanorte3180]

That kick drum sounds beautifull man 🤩

[@thisweekinmusichistory1749]

Thanks Warren! FUN FACT: Filtering audio frequencies dates back at least to acoustic telegraphy and multiplexing in general. Audio electronic equipment evolved to incorporate filtering elements as consoles in radio stations began to be used for recording as much as broadcast. Early filters included basic bass and treble controls featuring fixed frequency centers, and fixed levels of cut or boost. These filters worked over broad frequency ranges. Variable equalization in audio reproduction was first used by John Volkman working at RCA in the 1920s. That system was used to equalize a motion picture theater sound playback system. How come the equalizer didn’t see the compressor coming? Because it had a quick attack! Have A Great Day Everyone!

[@Producelikeapro]

Love the joke at the end! Thanks for the fear comment

[@audiobasement-studio]

to answer your quetion: allways loved the W-F6 & MH-Channelstrip, PSP got some great EQs with Neon and MasterQ! I am quite into Plugin Allience for a while. Besides Focusrit/Neve emulations from them, Tomo and Knif are f... bargain

[@jessfermino]

WOWWW!!! just wow!!! 🤯🤯🤯 this is what EQ should be made of!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeramiahrossnz]

this looks pretty good actually, its basically fab filters one but more more, i tend to use EQ's based on feel, as in what suits the song mood wise, within averages or approximations, buses help, use a limter or compressor pre or post whatevers to deal with the blind sculpture random stuff that happens, always go back to my ears, the visual information distracts me, but that could just be a me thing, the audience doesn't see that, only hear it...how does a piano, vocal, drumkit, bass sound and feel in real life, that reference point, but this looks like a great swiss army knife, a fine brush, i will look into this, be great with mixbus 32c I use for the hey listen to this button, Thanks W. coolios

Demnach befanden sich die Bestattungsanlagen grundlegend in kirchlicher Hand. Doch insbesondere im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wurde die Notwendigkeit von kommunalen Friedhofsanlagen größer, sodass entsprechende Begräbnisorte auch ohne die Verbindung zu einer Kirche entstanden.

@@Producelikeapro Just wanted to mention, the DAW, Studio One actually added Dynamic EQ to their stock EQ plugin they call Pro EQ lol. And they also added a dedicated DeEsser plugin oddly enough, lol. This Kirchoff EQ is leading the pack I think. Only thing left is for it to react to ones thoughts and apply automatically, lol. The McDSP AE400 (AE600 is 6 band) is a really good dynamic EQ's, and the first one I ever used. Used it for deessing and and lowend control on the Buss the first time I used it. Shared its function all over the place years ago... Some FB members may remember thinking I was silly for even mentioning it, but became a thing years later lol.
