This EQ changed everything for me... Exploring Toneboosters Equalizer Pro

[@oskarwroniewicz]

Man you really know what you're doing. It's rare that I see a demo doing the reviewed item its' justice on a level you did here. You sold me on that plugin big time - no snake oil bullshit, just an incredible tool with endless possibilities for those able to use it well. And you showed that perfectly ...Hope the guy got his glory after all

[@pluginhoarder]

Thanks man!

[@MarkVO]

The demo at 9:00 is the difference between moving with the music and not. Big difference. Kudos to the EQ, but you're clearly doing a lot of work to make it sound good. Great tool being used by a great mixer. Great video!

Thanks Mark! 🙏

Thank you so much! Will be making many more videos 🙏🤞

I just came across your channel because of the Orion plugin but this is great quality! I’ll def. going to buy this EQ eventhough I have SplitEQ, Pro Q3 and Kirchoff. Thanks, buddy, and keep doing the great content!

@@mingusx3440 thanks I appreciate that!! I def recommend using the trial for this to see how you like it, it works indefinitely with no restrictions other than saving presets.

as someone who has both, i would say this one. this may be the eq to end them all lol. at least when it comes to digital eq's

This will def be in my toolkit. Thanks!

The Vocal Demo part was crazy! It got into restoration plugin territory normally occupied by Izotope and Waves and some new Ai players.

[@pluginhoarder]

Agreed! It’s pretty nuts

[@MattStevens9824]

@@pluginhoarder I have those plugins as well as TB EQ4. Thank you for responding! How was your experience using it to remove resonances and muddy room bass? Specifically for vocals and dialogue. Was it transparent or heavy handed?

[@pluginhoarder]

@MattStevens9824 very transparent! Haven’t noticed any artifacts. It’s great at cleaning up mud, best advice is to try the different algos because sometimes the ambience works better than the background and vice versa!

[@MattStevens9824]

​@@pluginhoarder Thank you! Great tip about the algorithm switches! This saves me from purchasing the more expensive K-EQ!

[@ScantlessBeatz]

Bro I feel so dumb I got smartEQ4 recently and then proEQ4 came out and offered everything smartEQ dose. The prob with smartEQ (by sonible) is it dose not have a easy work flow as proEQ but the AI smart eq feature is prety cool, they both let you pull up all eq's and then it can balance out all tracks for you.

[@pluginhoarder]

I have both and love both! Def best to get the two if you can

[@bennetjackson8928]

Toneboosters has consistently been innovative, also their compressor on the punch mode with a good attack and release is 10 times cleaner then the next cleanest comp on the market!! amazing stuff

[@pluginhoarder]

Will have to check it! Currently testing their multiband compressor

[@bennetjackson8928]

@@pluginhoarder I've been in the industry for long time and near on one is doing the math side of plugins like they are. Also airwindows tube2 and totape8 are some of the best for saturation, completely free. I have yet to find a paid plugin that can actually come close for mixing. Arturia coldfire is my go to for creative purposes though.

[@pluginhoarder]

Airwindows is by far my favorite plugin company. Crazy he’s doing all that alone and for free….. I was thinking about doing some comparisons of totape8 vs the big guys

[@shane_taylor]

Nice review. I had just downloaded this to try after watching Dan Worall's brutal (and admittedly, biased) review of KEQ vs Pro-Q3, and it looks really capable and intriguing, at half the price! I've been a long time fan of Tone Boosters, but only have used their legacy free plugs to date. That may change. Also, based on the name of your channel, it is probably a place where I'd fit in. 😂

[@pluginhoarder]

Thanks Shane! And WELCOME :) I hope you enjoy this plug!

Idk how I ram into this much was thinking on getting smart eq for workflow and now this here looks interesting

I wouldve bought it eventually anyway (def wanna support creators like this so we keep getting DOOOPE plugins like these) but yea... WOOOOW!!!! This plugin is amazing!!!

[@agapeleone5847]

@@pluginhoarder what you think about the Dj Swivel plugins? I feel like they are on point. That distortion gives a substantial boost in luffs / percieved loudness without adding any actual db. Transient shaper is on point. Knocktonal does what it says (but I wish it could go by key scale eg C minor D major etc)

Bro that eq looks crazy, how did I get to your Chanel idk but thx bro, new sub. What are the pre sets like, I generally use ozone. Where the discount code, you plugging them big

[@pluginhoarder]

Thanks dawg! Doesnt come with any presets unfortunately but I'm thinking of dropping a free pack

[@libtekk]

@@pluginhoarder that would be good, like check out the ozone presets and how they keep them simple, then perhaps come up with a solution similar. They also need to get this on plug in boutique it’s dope. Lmk if you create some pre sets, mostly to tackle mud but also to beef up 808, bass, and lead vocalist. Peace bro

[@mangofoalix]

I have no idea why youtube recommended me your channel since you have 47 subscribers but this is kinda insane, especially with removing reverb and delay from some samples

[@pluginhoarder]

I have no idea either but I’m grateful 😂🙏🤞

[@djerikfox]

...looks like kirchof eq...gotta try it...😀

[@pluginhoarder]

Try it out! I forgot to mention how awesome the trial is! No limitations other than presets

[@stiptreezy8481]

Hmmm as awesome as it sounds to have eq control over things like ambience, transients etc. this does also seem a bit overwhelming. Sometimes having less is more when it comes to possibilities for me.

[@pluginhoarder]

I hear you, the great thing though is this is a standard EQ in default mode so all the extra algorithms can be explored as you get comfortable. I spent the first month with this not touching anything other than the default EQ mode and then slowly integrated.

[@stiptreezy8481]

@@pluginhoarder very true, I definitely plan on getting it. I feel like it could be a super powerful editing tool, though it would be very case by case for me.

It could be as simple or as complex as you want. I like this plugin a lot because it's so easy to use. Everything just works and everything is in place.

​@@pluginhoarder In 4 minutes, after the first demonstration, I had enough information and interest in the product to leave and go find the price myself.

"This $59 EQ changed everything for me," Sherlock. 😂Don't ghost me.

Okay, I hear you. Generally when I review plugins I will put “free” in the description and title to make that point clear.
