I use the Logic EQ's all the time while I am working on a track. I frequently use the Vintage Graphic EQ instead of a low cut filter. Pro Q3 is just not as light and simple; but I use Q3 almost entirely when mixing, for my Reductive EQ. Sometimes I will use another EQ after my Pro-C2 compressor instance for sweetening, but usually that is Pro-Q3 also.

 

SSL EQ

 

Claro from Sonnnox. Is the best EQ ever, and i confirm 100% this

ReaEQ: 99 MB RAM, <2% CPU
lkjb TinyQ: 289 MB RAM, <2% CPU
FF ProQ3: 569 MB RAM, <3% CPU
DMG EQQuick: 435 MB RAM, <5% CPU
CraveEQ: 2.2 GB RAM, ~11% CPU
HoRNet Total EQ: ~23% CPU (didn't measure RAM)

 

FabFilter Q3 why everybody likes this plugin and how to improve CPU usage.

 

It's a select list of the best nastiest jokesters here. You're welcome

 

i got ssl native x-eq 2 last year for like $29 in a promotion sale. as i never used the dynamic mode of pro-q3 it was an easy switch. could not be more happy with it.

 

So you have Reese's Cups and a bag of lube? I mean have a great night i guess, be careful though

 

those who give you other eqs do not realize that fab q3 is also a dynamic eq it is super transparent it has few phase problems in its tint mid side modes, the possibility of knowing what frequencies are masking between various instruments is the best transparent eq in the world There is no better at market, the free options are not even close

 

In my personal top:

1 - FF Q3
2 - Weiss EQ1 (q curve and dynamic process sound really smooth)
3 - TDR NOVA (Multiple possibilities, learning curves, clean and warm sounding)
4 - Slate Digital Infinity EQ (Not dynamic, but really love this use)

 

When it comes to surgical subtractive equalization, I always go back to Pro-Q after whatever new EQ I try, and I've tried a lot of them.
It just gets the job done quickly and easily, and the GUI is perfect. Also it's the easiest on CPU among all other EQs I've used. IMO it has no real competitors.

 

They're all digital EQ's, pick the one you like and move on. For me it was FF Q3.

 

The combination of GUI, features, sound and extremely light CPU usage is just the best.
Now perhaps there's a few better sounding like say, Equlibrium. But at the cost of way more CPU. Or Maat... no, that shit 's no good

Also ProQ3 isn't a coloring-analog-mojo-warmth EQ, like @ThorntonQ well said. That's another type of EQ plugin.

 

MAAT is the perfect name becuz u gotta be MAAT to go for it!

 

"Digital Eq" never mentioned anything about "analogue".

 

You misunderstood that line perhaps?

 

Magix Sequoia Eq116 Stock EQ "i think best transparent EQ ever"

 

Is there a consensus on best Match EQ for creating impulse responses?

 

I always recommend Meldaproduction MFreeFormEq or some other EQ from Melda.
