Linear Phase eq's

[symmetricalsounds]

nope, if you press shopping cart it says $89.95

but if you click the WIN VST button it comes up with the download dialog.

all their plugs do that
so you can demo em
if you buy you get the license

[logic pro]

yes. demo silences audio every 30 secs.

DMG Equality is nice to use http://www.dmgaudio.com/index.php?_view=home.about

Best plugin eq I have ever used.

Is the track armed?? I had latency from my waves plugs only untill the track was unarmed.

Hmmm... Not sure. Will check this. Thx

Nice! Will check it out. thanks

Not in Linear phase mode btw.

Try the different modes and post back here with which you think is best. I'd be interested

Analogue phase sounds best to my ears, could be the word analogue acting as a placebo though!

Nope, it definitely does. The dude is very open about how it does what it does, and while Analogue Phase mode has a little bit of pre-ring, it sounds fanfuckingtastic

Processing Mode

EQuality is designed to not only sound great all day, but to provide you with all features you could conceivably need from an EQ. To this end, the Processing Mode allows you to alter the DSP mechanism that the plugin uses.
Mode CPU Latency(samples) Description
Digital Very-low None Digital mode is the standard processing mode, giving you a zero latency, low-cpu EQ for all tracks in a mix. This uses ultra-high precision prototypes and is as faithful as can be achieved to an analogue EQ.
Digital+ Low None Digital+ mode supplements Digital mode by introducing an error-correction filter to render the frequency response more accurate. You should very rarely be able to discern a difference between Digital and Digital+ (only for very precise high-end adjustments), but when you need it, it's there!
Minimum Phase Med None Minimum phase implements an FFT-style minimum-phase EQ response. This mode gives the minimum possible transient distortion without introducing latency.
Analogue Phase Med 4096 (Compensated) This mode gives a precise replication of both the magnitude and phase response of an analogue EQ which exactly matches the settings of the plugin.
Linear Phase Med 4096 (Compensated) This mode implements the specified EQ response with absolutely zero phase distortion. Transients are not phase-smeared in this mode. This mode is useful for mastering applications.

I'm curious as to what's actually going on here - I thought real analog filters are minimum phase by definition, and "FFT-style minimum-phase" doesn't really make much sense, unless he actually means the other way around ("linear phase style analog"), like a Bessel filter or something that minimises phase distortion without doing an FFT...

I'd love to try it out but I can't see myself spending 100 quid on an EQ. I'm a cheapskate though.

[pompende]

you could always put a little negative delay on the track.... only gonna work if the delay is constant tho...

Nope.

Spend £100 on this cos it sounds the fucking bollocks. It really does. Interface is second to none (once he reinstates a few things I nagged about). He is a one man show, who helped design the Sonalksis eq's among many others, and he deserves support. Magnificient plugin.

You're right. But most of 'em are.

Sounds like I need to give the demo a try. I was joking; of course if it could easily sound good enough to be worth a hundred quid -- for me the problem is more that it's a 3rd party plugin and I use Ableton (so it'd pop up in a new window instead of docking to the bottom), and I feel that I'm so much faster on the Ableton native plugin panel at the bottom of the screen than with any 3rd party tools, that I'd rather have the workflow speed than the sonic capability. Sounds silly, but that's why I never use any of the NI stuff myself even though it's sometimes (not always) much more capable. Occasionally I'll even hack out the DSP code of a single Guitar Rig effect and compile it as a GUI-less VST, just so I can use it without opening a new window.

Maybe it's time I learned to separate the songwriting phase from the mixdown so I don't have to worry about tweaking EQs quite so efficiently...

It's the GUI and the sound that make it the best eq I have used in VST land
