the pex-500 (hardware) module is 450 euros and has knobs. ;)

 

mastering grade plugins. Sounds legit lol

 

Thread is going to be updated soon

 

Please do, thank you.

 

If you can categorize it by emulation, type, use, and all kinds. maybe it would be great ...

 

Hi,

Thank you for sharing.

 

I found the Bundle with Lindell PEX-500 and the 50 and 80 series will check it out thanks

 

That's a BIG list of EQs! If I had all of these I'd spend all of my time choosing which one to use and definitely wouldn't be able to remember each one's "unique features".

Depending on your purpose, but at the most, you probably only need a handful of "well-chosen" EQ plugins in your toolkit.

I do Mastering so on my plugin EQ I like transparency, as in something that just does its job cleanly and precisely, no thrills. For this my go-to is Softubes Weiss EQ1, it's a digital EQ but slightly different to a purpose coded plugin in that the code was ported from an existing digital hardware unit. Super clean, super functional, no funny business and just what I want for my "in the box" Mastering EQ.

I'd def say that FabFilter ProQ3 is a close second and has a GUI that hasn't been matched yet.

 

mastering?

equilibrium is the eq to end all eqs

 

I didn’t see these two on the list .
I use the bax eq and amek 200 eq in my mastering chain . Both great plugins
I’ve recently started to use my pultec eq clones (klark teknik eqp kt ) as well they work great for cleaning up muddy low end on a mix .

 

if you use a pultec to clean up low end you must be clipping it, cause eq wise the shelf is too broad , i never clip my vintage matched pair of eqp1s3 but maybe thats just me.

 

How did you get your hands on those? Insane what they go for nowadays

 

His other line of work is wile...

...or, or...he's had them for a good long while...or, while we sleep dia manu plies his excellent trade for appreciative clients...or, he's inherited them, or....

 

To be honest I think there are so many variables in a mix im not sure if it makes sense to get so hung up about all these EQ's.
Obviously anyone has their favorite EQ but I would not say that one would need more then a few EQ's to get a professional mix.

 

I just put all those eqs on my master in serial, doesn't get more pro sounding than that!

side note, if you search the nebula bible v2 there is a 2018 list of all the nebula names to hardware for referencing

You're right. On the master channel I'm just low-passing at 19K and maybe a wide bell to boost/cut low mids and/or high mids (think 1 dB). Rarely I low cut the mix at 20 Hz and pretty much that's all the EQ at mastering stage. I'm using the Ozone 9 eq but pro-q would work just as fine.

I definitely don't get the "mastering eq" hype in the box. For hardware I can understand - the manufacturers had to do great efforts just to have a decent noise floor and to respect as precise as possible the Q and actual EQ gain. They were basically chasing the sound of the Pro-Q )

Simply put, genius–level R&D and know–how is priceless.” We concur and know that you will too!

it's a remake of old Algorithmix PEQ Red. I think the MAAT's remake of these EQs is good and I always use the Orange but I don't think MAAT designing a new GUI and making a 64bit version of it is considered genius or atleast the bar shouldn't be set that low.

 

I tried the Kirchhoff EQ the last days . It's crazy how good this thing sounds. Many of us are using the Pro-Q3 I guess, I definitely recommend to compare those two. The Kirchhoff looks like a direct rip off, yes, but the sound is really different. I tried the same settings on high pass for example on many different sources. In all cases so far, Kirchhoff reacted better, somehow "tighter", in direct comparison the Pro-Q3 sounds a bit washy. Just my two cents, I guess I jumped straight onto the hype train.

 

Side-note
For a passive EQ, the Pulsar Massive is actually good. It pretty much does the identical thing the UAD Manley EQ copy does.
