Alternative to ReaEQ? (freeware only please)

[professorlamp]

Upgraded to cubase 5, and ReaEQ does not like Cubase 5 apparently, loads of problems all over the internet about it, so is there an alternative apart from the cubase one because that only has 4 bands and the Q doesn't go nearly as tight as the reaper one

Ideally unlimited bands or atleast 6 I suppose, cannot for the life of me find one

Chalk up some money for EQuality.

pc or mac? I liked this when I was on PC: http://www.kvraudio.com/get/2470.html


Then there is also these:

http://www.kvraudio.com/get/3450.html (6 bands)
http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1120.html (5 bands)
http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1636.html (5 bands)

I'll check EQuality, I spose I can buy if it's cheap, budget of around £20-30


EQuality might be stretching it a bit thin for now

If your willing to spend that amount of money. Apquilizer is also an option. I love it.


Also unlimited bands, can get very surgical with its q size, and the main interface also doubles as a spectrum analyzer which is nice too have sometimes, as well.

For 20 bux you can't go wrong with DDMF IIEQ. I have it and I love it. http://www.ddmf.eu/product.php?id=0

Am I too crazy for thinking that most EQs have horrible interfaces?

 

[John_C]

you're not too crazy, but apqualizer is a real exception to that rule

And search kvr for better skins for that plugin.

[edit]

Here: i found them for you

I don't like it because I want to see how every band is setup to without having to click on it. Many EQs don't do this, that's what pisses me off the most. I think the almost perfect one is Waves Q #, if only it had a spectrum analyzer...

 

[professorlamp]

Cheers guys
and especially Anssi for the uber help

its also worth mentioning that posihfopit crashes cubase aswell . I tried that before it was psoted on here, but I'm hoping those other ones KVR dont

edit: I went with the 6band Melda in the end

Try rs-met's EasyQ. If I didn't have ReaEQ it would be the one I use. Oh, and its free.

I recently got another thread on EQs: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/production-tips/640751-best-eq-vst-amp-sims.html

I'm currently demo'ing the FabFilter ProQ (unlimited bands) and it's just a thing of beauty! Kind of expensive, though

Hey Yeah i think i get same problem when i load ReaEQ it works perfectly fine, but once in the chain if i try to open up the plug in to make some changes it will freeze the session... does that happen with you in cubase 5?

Yeah all of his eqs are pretty rad for the price.

Yer it does, so far it's happened with reaEQ, pisohfipit (sp?) and some DSK freeware synths

 

[xmortumx]

Have you tried the GEQ-10 Other cubase 5 stock plug in... i use that one often too and i think does a good job.

This is another very good one:

Not a multi-band EQ as you requested but it's reportedly very CPU-light so you could use as many instances as needed.
