Don't forget the TDR Nova, which is an awesome free EQ. Complete with Dynamic equalization and Multiband Compression!

[@phadrus]

Yep, and I mentioned Total EQ which is similar and usually about $8 on sale.

[@boimesa8190]

There's no multiband compression within Nova

[@sparella]

​@@boimesa8190 Every band can compress = multiband compression

[@ajwadakter7326]

@@boimesa8190 yes there is lmfao, TDR Nova was literally meant to be used for multiband dynamic control aka a multibandcomp/dynamic eq.

[@boimesa8190]

@@ajwadakter7326 dynamic EQ & Multiband compression aren't the same

[@urniurl]

I think you need to loop the same section when doing AB comparison. The vocals have a different arrangement in the B test.

[@cmstrike]

ToneBoosters Equalizer 4 is my favorite EQ and well worth the small price! Great developer.

[@boimesa8190]

Yep this is a sleeper

[@phadrus]

Hornet Total EQ is a great contender. And it’s also the cheapest plug-in you’ll find. Often $8 when on sale. It comes very close to the functionality of other plug-ins here.

[@englewoodmusic]

Now THIS is what I needed alllll along lol thank you! And great job on the Masters :) yall can trust these guys!

[@anabihamza6230]

can we appreciate the tone that is been played it's so good

[@ballabsb]

TDR Nova is missing, but now i know many others eqs that i didnt know! Thnx, awesome video!

[@michaelyolch79]

Holy Smokes! This actually had a very useful AD in it!!!

[@apenastorugo]

ReEQ, that's a community EQ, can be a option if you use Reaper.

[@MLaudio20]

The latest update to Toneboosters EQ4 GUI and spectrum analyzer looks even better now. The analyzer looks a lot like Fabfilters.

[@EduRGB]

Tone Boosters is amazing

[@deegobaseelee6280]

best EQs are the master EQ because they really cut where they have to and you can have some phase problems using multiple Q3 and every free version of this plugin, a really good solution is the Equilibrium.

[@jimmyrichards2909]

The Tone Booster EQ and the Kirchhoff EQ both have no demos since this video was posted. I suggest updating the video, as it's really disappointing finding this out after believing they are available as an "unlimited demo"

[@justinmarcus1049]

The Toneboosters demo only has a nag screen and prevents saving to it's internal presets - but settings are saved within DAW project of course. So it's great for evaluating it..and well worth the money to buy.

[@mngatoffband]

is kirchhoff eq free? i thought it has 14-days trial, not endless

[@EdwinDekker71]

Toneboosters eq4 is well worth the money.

[@dsanj4745]

The SoundBytes DDMF IIEQ Pro should be on this list.

[@sebastrianw.4673]

I just watched your video. Thanks for the info. I looked up Tone Boosters EQ4 and its not available for demo anymore.

[@sageaudio]

I think you have to download all of their plugins at once - they'll be in demo mode until you choose to authorize them.

[@Kallyn]

Is Kirchhoff's EQ only free for those 14 days? or is there a full use unlimited demo like ToneBoosters does?

[@sageaudio]

I think since making this video they've changed their demo mode to only offer a trial - sorry about that!

[@BamBamTheInfluence]

14 day unlimited demo only

[@Rhythmattica]

Such a great channel that could never be overated... Though "Demo with no limitations" is definitely moving the "FREE" goalposts re this Vid.

[@juniormariche7420]

It’s says a 14day trial after the 14days is it still usable??

[@SaturnVoyager11]

Kirchhoff demo expires?

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

Let's see... ...besides Kirchhoff, you're comparing bananas with apples, right? A Dynamic EQ compared to traditional static EQs is not a fair approach for me. Hmmmmmmm...

[@ajwadakter7326]

Kirchhoff EQ DOES have a limitation, you cannot save your file with the settings, it will reset. So this indeed isn't free in any way.

[@johnghadimi]

Ah finally someone explained this properly.. thank you.. I was wondering what that meant.

[@boimesa8190]

But when u save a project in your DAW will it reset all settings to previous settings or will it remember?

[@johnghadimi]

@@boimesa8190 According to the above, the next time you open the project, it will reset to the default settings..so the answer is no.

[@ajwadakter7326]

@@boimesa8190 nope it won't remember any settings, you have to print every track before you close the DAW.

[@boimesa8190]

So Kirchoff EQ is completely without cons when running trial and it's endless?

[@johnghadimi]

See the post by Ajwad Akter.

[@vstrec116]

[@lihclore]

Kirchoff is amazing

[@Artur_Chernyavsky]

[@sageaudio]

MEqualizer! But I'd have to double check

[@baymax001]

​@@sageaudio Thank you for your reply ❤

[@saricubra2867]

I would a plugin like all of these but with nonlinearities like a Pultec or Massive Passive.

[@bjmora9612]

I believe the "no limitations" claim for Equalizer 4 and Kirchoff isn't quite accurate - neither let you store or save settings/presets. But, true, the sound is not messed with.

[@ajwadakter7326]

You're right about the Kirchhoff one, but I have been able to save projects with settings for EQ4. One person claimed that apparently the settings get reset after 3 or 4 months, which makes no sense whatsoever, but who knows?

[@baymax001]

If you use FL you can save any preset of any plugin ❤
