Which one are you using in your mixes?.

waves API
Metric Halo CS
Cubase4 Studio EQ

 

[colonel kurtz]

urs a-series
waves ssl
wavearts trackplug

 

[Radd]

Also do you use different EQs for different instruments within the same mix?
If so, what does this do for the mix differently if just 1 particular EQ is used for everything. Makes the mix more colorful and feel more open maybe as opposed to a bit sterile or one dimensional?
Or does it not matter because it all comes down to the user and his use of the EQ?

I use almost exclusively the Waves API, and it's on almost everything. Master EQ I use Sonalksys, and that's about it for eq's although I do like the REQ on kick drums, it's quite precise, and can really cleanly cut the fat off a kick and keep it punchy.

 

[AStacy2]

Waves SSL, PSP Neon HR


I do really like the Waves 1081 EQ on paino/strings though.

Stillwell Audio Vibe EQ!!! The best "colored" sounding eq I've ever used.

I also use Voxengo Curve EQ a lot

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

wavearts trackplug
cubase stock eq
psp neon
EQ3 (if using pro tools)

master buss (if any)
psp masterq
izotope ozone 3

Waves API
URS Console Strip Pro

+1 for the VibeEQ here as well. This thing is a giant killer. It's as good as any colored EQ I have tried Waves vintage selections included. I absolutely love it on guitars and vocals.

 

[Machinated]

URS A Series, N Series on vocals, Sonalksis sometimes. I also sometimes use Tritone Digitals Hydratone, but its a bit of a CPU hog. Really cool though - I think I read its based off impulses of Avalon, API, Focusrite and Amek.

 

[JeffTD]

Sonalksis, Sonnox, Cubase channel eq, SSL Channel.

 

[derfbonker]

UAD Neve 1073, Pultec, and Cambridge. To you guys that are using the cubase EQ, what are you using it for? I hate the way it sounds. I might use it for a high pass occasionally, to save CPU power.

 

[Fredrik-Ablaze]

Damn you guys got sick budget, seems like everyone's running the Waves SSL.
Im using the Liquid Mix and it really does the trick for me!

 

[greyskull]

i doubt that everone has bought the waves ssl...
tut tut
anyway
Im using metric halo channelstrip,
and sonnox eq.
those two are the best plugins i own

 

[Zombietakeover]

good question i would also like to know this....

[jhrv]

I have an idea. See my first post. (Updated).

 

[F.E.T]

Guitars: Waves Q10
Kick, snare, toms: Liquidmix
Everything else: Cubase 4 studio EQ
And recently CurveEq, great plug altough it usually take a bit of tweaking.

 

[smy1]

Can someone explain to me what the mystical term "color" actually means ...?

 

[Seizure.]

- Kick: Waves SSL + Q10.
- Snare: Waves SSL + Q10
- Toms: Waves SSL + Q10
- Hat/OHs: Waves SSL + Q10
- Guitars[/color]: Eqium + URS API, the four band one.
- Bass[/color]: Eqium + URS API and Fulltec
- Vocals[/color]: Eqium, URS Fulltec & Q10 for tweaks.
