My TOP 3 EQ Plugins!

[@Cosmonaut1999]

I recently picked up Tonebooster EQ pro which seems to do what split EQ does and a lot more, couldn't comment on the quality versus split EQ but seem intuitive and straight forward, its my go to for problem solving.

[@Jazzguitar00]

I'm pretty sure the new ToneBoosters EQ can do everything Pro-Q and SplitEQ can do...and it's cheaper.

[@chriskemp466]

exactly right

[@rafaelcnsd]

Ozone Eq + ZL Eq, both free and do the same thing

[@lbsmoothmusic]

Since I got the tone boosters EQ I haven't looked back. I probably have every EQ that was every Made.😂

[@tigerb3at1]

Instead of Split EQ you can use Ozone 11 if you have it. Just set the EQ or Dynamics to "Transient/Sustain"

[@stefanhaechler]

or toneboosters EQ PRO - and you also don't need Pro-Q3 no more in the list

[@amazeus1980]

That UAD Pulltec is not only a good Pulltec emulation but probably best Pulltec emulation. So many engineers say that it has THE sound and depth.

[@mathieuraetz2041]

Same choice but Kirchhoff instead of fab in my case…. Sonible is a game changer for me I must admit. Always my first choice to balance everything.

[@KimberKustom]

Really surprised you're not using the Tonebooster Pro-Q yet.

[@KimberKustom]

I was just saying that because TB Pro-Q is pretty much a combo of FF and Split. That's all.

[@pocket1684]

@@KimberKustom Gotcha, I hear you.

[@henrikpetersson3463]

My top 3: UAD Pultec (because it just sounds so good) UAD API 550 (because broad stokes and bold moves) T-Racks Master EQ432 (because it's such a sweet master EQ) I think you can see a pattern here. I'm all about limitations. I used to be a big fan of the ProQ-style EQs 20 years ago (remember NyquistEq?) but I realised that it made me mix with my eyes more and fiddle around with stuff for too long when I didn't need to. Plus I like a bit of character. It makes it more fun.

[@markusshoggu]

dude you're posting one video after another! love the content

[@redbigapplefloppa302]

My 5 favorite/most used Eqs are: 1) tbt kirchhoff eq, for precise all-purpose engineering duties 2) sonible art:eq, to fast-track frequency unmasking several channels/busses when mixing 3) ua pultec epq1, mainly for giving drums certain flavors (as a hiphop producer drums are my bread and butter ^^) 4) tdr slick eq m, on busses/mix- and master-channel for broad tone shaping and stereo processing (per band!) as well as exciting highs&lows 5) spl eq ranger: this one has the creamiest hf-boost of any eq i've tried so far. This is basically it's only purpose, but i use it all the time on vocals. Sounds so smooth.

[@1loveMusic2003]

I love how Pro-Q3 shows the waveform of the side chain as well.

[@TRXST.ISSUES]

I must really like plugins because I watch all these review videos without intending on buying any. 😂 keep up the great vids.

[@rico1979]

Recently i switched to Toneboosters Equalizer Pro. 59,- and can do everything Fabfilter & Split EQ does and then some. Really recommend you trying out the demo.

[@EpsteezyFoSheezy]

Yeah, it's like if Kirchhoff added features that help with mixing instead of a bunch of filter slopes that nobody could possibly give a shit about. Kirchhoff still goated for Dynamic EQing tho.

[@OnceinaSixSide]

Same here and its been bloody great

[@vicneve1169]

Same here! Best EQ out there!

[@Ksjskalkwvshwjwvqnam]

Once I mixed a whole song with Reaper's built-in plugins, including an equalizer. It wasn't very convenient, but at the same time it sounded no worse than when using expensive and beautiful plugins. But I still prefer Fabfilter Pro-Q 3, because I've gotten used to it for a long time. Yes, at the moment it's not the most functional, but I just got used to it. A robot lives by algorithms, and a person lives by habits.

[@schlausprecher3361]

You can get the Ozone 11 EQ for free which also has the transient split functionality, but it doesn‘t let you fine tune the „split“ settings

[@ffffant]

But the split default in Ozone 11 is actually very useful. Especially when the bass is mixed too loudly in a Mix and you don't want to sacrifice the kick. Very good EQ!

[@fdgggfh24]

Is the Spiff Transient Shaper plugin worth it if you have the Ozone 11 Eq?

[@staycalmwriteaboutit]

Thank you for choosing the Kirchoff - it's great!

[@everybodyhasoul5438]

Please try the Toneboosters, I too am interested

[@paulmisty8998]

- ProQ → easy and fast, for 'not so important' tasks - Weiss EQ MP → easy and fast, excellent sounding for subtractive EQ-ing - SplitEQ → easy and fast, transient / sustain - smartEQ → automatic unmasking

[@Tomignostics]

Black friday price for Kirschhoff is just great!

[@APERTURE_SC]

Toneboosters Equalizer Pro and Oxford Dynamic EQ are my top picks atm. For character : Sonimus A-EQ is really good, slept on. Michelangelo, Apogee and Deep Vintage Pultec

[@tonogram]

Regarding KirchhoffEQ: It's more advanced in some specific ways, but Pro-Q 3 has more features and I find the latter to be more useful in practice. I say this as someone who does, in fact, own both. If you're on the fence about which is best for you: I assure you that you will get more mileage out of Pro-Q 3, and that it should be your first choice.

[@Wizardofvoz2]

Pro Q, UAD Pultec, SPL PQ and Scaler. I love the Elysia for M/S, and Smart Eq can off som great starting points.

[@yoyoyayu]

alternative to smart eq 4 = neutron 5, even though it's not really the same concept, sometimes I try both to see which sounds better :)

[@tsbs7s]

I use 3 EQs all the time: Fabfilter Pro Q3 for pretty much everything during mixing and UAD Pultec EQ as well as waves V-EQ4 for tonal shaping and mastering

[@hermannstefanson2642]

benn waiting for black friday for the Split EQ and finally got it a few days ago. i've worked with it before and i think it's perfect for sitations where neither pro q or a transient-shaper work. really easy to use as well!

[@willisbrindley]

Still pushin 😎 Split EQ seems clutch for mastering

[@papahuge]

One of my fav mix bus eq/processors or auto/ai eqs is Gullfoss by Soundtheory.

[@Rhekluse]

All great EQ’s even though the Kirchhoff EQ feels longwinded to me. I hear great things about the Toneboosters EQ Pro! As for AI plugins, Don’t forget about the Focusrite FAST series. A collaboration with Sonible.

[@3eye-hatrick]

Keep it simple when learning something new always works for me for anything new, and plugins are the same in photography most are just bling and you can accomplish most of the advanced effects when you know how the basic ones work

[@nightslayer500]

Tokyo Dawn Records Nova Ge edition (the paid edition. There is a free version as well which has a few less features) is one of my go to Eq's. Depending on what I'm trying to accomplish I'll use either the Fab Filter Pro Q3 or The Nova or both. I mostly use a lot of synth's and experimental sound designing for edm, dubstep, color bass, ect.

[@pocket1684]

Thanks White Sea for another great vid

[@GraeboProductions]

TDR Nova dynamic eq is free. Can also be use as straight eq and straight compression . I think

[@JK_EU]

KirchhoffEQ all the way every day.

[@denholmrobert528]

Please do compressors next!!

[@briansommers905]

You should do one for your top three mastering EQ plug-ins.

[@varouestmusic]

Hi. Thanks for the vidéo. I am pro q3 user. Would be nice watching you make the best analog or not equalisation you can, and compare it with an AI equalisation like smart eq. And show us (and you if you can trick yourself) a blind comparison.

[@rishabhbose29]

I am picking up the Split EQ tomorrow. Been waiting for the Black Friday sale😅

[@soundmanlab659]

Are converters on new apollo units good? Comparable to rme converters? Love your videos and in depth knowledge! Cheers!

[@Whiteseastudio]

Probably not, but I haven't tested them...

[@pluginhoarder]

Please do Toneboosters Equalizer Pro! 🙏🙏🙏

[@balisaani]

To sum it up: Pro-Q3, Split EQ, and Smart EQ. Bonus: UAD Pultec EQP1A.

[@Taras1134]

Is it big difference between Smart EQ 3 and 4? Should I upgrade?

[@Histio]

The only AI eq's I have used are Ozone 11 elements and the new Waves curves equator. The waves one is more of a resonance suppressor but I was pleasantly surprised by both.

[@pedrodepacas4335]

Over the top 3.

[@thiagocesaro]

Please make a compressor and limiter video before BF!

[@FightinTheGorlax]

I got Kirchoff for 1/3 the price of pro-q, you can get it for a MUCH better deal than pro q

[@MatbiangShadap]

Always like your video.. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@DreamStateStudio]

You have to check tone boosters

[@LeCheFTube]

I have to disagree on the whole “all EQ’s are the same” thing Though it is true, you can use “bland” digital EQ’s and saturation plugins to achieve similar results - the workflow and ease of use differences are ginormous My favorite analog EQ emulation is the overloud EQ550 The signal flow within that plug-in goes: filter-> saturation -> filter -> saturation…. To achieve similar results, I’d have to use a new instance for each stage (EQ plug-in with one filter engaged, followed by a saturation plug-in, followed by an EQ plug-in with one filter, followed by…) I much rather use a single, well-designed plug-in that gets me to my desired result quickly and easily

[@KreativeDevices]

Oh Yeah! 🙌

[@InFiNiGhTe]

If Kirchhoff EQ didn't come off to a bad start with all those unnecessary filter types and few other features, the acceptance would've been substancial I think. So far I've had fun trolling people with the GUI because I copied the color scheme from Pro-Q so precise that they can't tell if it was Kirchhoff EQ at first.

[@joakimjocka8022]

Tb equalizer pro can do all three

[@biekanez1]

Ik dacht juist dat je sonible beter vond en dat fabfilter de boot begon te gaan missen?

[@Whiteseastudio]

Klopt, maar we hebben het hier over de koers die ik de bedrijven zie varen, niet de huidige staat van de producten...

[@patrickalphenaar]

Kirchoff and Michelangelo for me………🎉😊

[@Harrysound]

buy it if you want it I say. it doesn't matter if you need it.Plugins are fun! my hot tip for a plugin is Sonible - True Balance. game changer

[@KYTHERAOfficial]

Split EQ should be 50 imho, 100 seems too much

[@drydessert4198]

Toneboosters EQ Pro

[@a-job7276]

TBT SpectCraft? very new

[@konstantinos777]

To me, there is only one EQ. All the rest are whatever, same old same old: AYAIC COS PRO HYPER EQ

[@Todzuum]

Actually everyone needs to buy everything , spend money.

[@MrEarlabs]

Toneboosters EQ Pro......
