Suggestion for good EQ

[Suonoecomputer]

Hi all of you, I always love Orion's EQ and I'm looking for something similar to try on other DAWs to. Do any of you know which independent EQ plugin comes closer to the Orion EQ? Thanks.

which eq?

[Teksonik]

Yes you'll have to narrow it down a bit.....

Then there is the EQ in the Mixer strips.

[Suonoecomputer]

A yes sorry, i mean that of the mixer channels yes.

[Kriminal]

there are lots of mixer strip vsts about, but can't say I've tried any

they usually have some "famous name" which doesn't interest me

[Teksonik]

Dead Duck has a nice free Channel Strip. Is it as good or better than Orion's Mixer EQ ? You'd have to determine that for yourself.

He has a bundle of other freeware effects including a separate EQ......

Both 32 and 64 bit. Nice.

Thanks Tek.

Thanks it sounds interesting, I'll try it and among at the "top of the range" thing what do you recommend ?

[HYPNAGOGIA]

Top of the range plugins? In my opinion: Izotope, Waves and FabFilter. But they are pricey.

As freeware alternatives, again, in my humble opinion and preference, personally I think Blue Cat, Melda and Voxengo have some pretty good plugins. If you're looking for more "vintage" stuff, you can also check out Antress' plugins.

I see now if I can stay within my budget ... I make a cross between a free and a top of the range ... Thanks.

Just don't confuse High Price with High Quality. High price plugins often come with baggage such as requiring a Dongle or requiring e-licenser software to be installed. A high list price doesn't guarantee high quality.

For a great free Dynamic EQ, I suggest the TDR Nova:

There is a paid for "Gentleman's" version that is 60 euros and brings extra features but the free version works well for me.

[Suonoecomputer]

Thanks, in fact it happens to pay a plugin just because it emulates the name of a "famous hardware" but in the digital environment, in the end, some aspects remain always inimitable compared to the real hardware...

[Teksonik]

Well then just buy the real hardware if you're concerned about the .00001% difference.

[Suonoecomputer]

Mmm I don't know .. I don't think it's so low the difference otherwise all the professional studios would close shop...

[Teksonik]

I didn't know all "professional" studios used only hardware. I better just give up now since I can't afford over priced and under powered hardware.

Never confuse "different" with "better".

Anyway you asked for a substitute for a fifteen year old Software EQ so......
