Hey Lasse, do you prefer the waves q10 over stock protools or daw eq? I just wondered, I have q10 but never really gave it a shot.

Selective phase modes including linear phase, two hipasses, bell and notch Q... Just love that plugin, its a swiss knife EQ.
I tried Equilibrium too, that its a equality with steroids (includes digital and classic analog curves, circuit models of vintage EQs, and engineering filters (about 12), but it ate too much CPU.
i work with cubase 5.1 so no Pro tools stuff 
the channel eq works for me for such things too...did never thought about using anything different since yesterday . i' m sure there are cleaner ones more musical ones for this out there
thanks for so many replies

tried the Q10 so far, had problems with some guitars in a mix to get of the harshness without loosing brightness or sounding strange. Worked better for me than the channel EQ..i´m happy now with them. like Lasse sayed...simply cleaner. Had nothing to boost, so i will try other stuff another time

The channel eq in Cubase is great, but it's post-insert, which sucks big time. And you can't change it!
So if you wish to compress a signal which has a peak in 240hz, the channel eq will affect the already-compressed signal which sucks if you wish to cut the 240hz before compressing and you don't know that the channel eq isn't pre-insert. So I only use it when I need a final touch of equing.

yes thats right, what i like at the channel EQ is just the easyness to use. I still will go for it here and there...
for the guitars in my mix right now i´m doing it worked better to use something different

Another vote for EQuality. Sometimes I use the eq on the MH channelstrip but not often since I got EQuality.
ReaEQ and this one for the pultec style

Colouring EQ's,
Sub - Plug & Mix clarisonix
lows - Softube Pultec, Booteq.
mids - Density Mk2 (fairchild emulation), Stillwell vibe,
highs - Soneq, Stillwell 1973

equilibrium is the first plugin EQ thats really made me think "holy shit", but i didn't really like the workflow for the majority of situations. I'll buy it eventually based on how good it sounds.
I use a combination of ren eq, metric halo CS, and the psp EQ's. ALWAYS have a pultec-esque EQ on the 2 bus.

To me, all EQs sound the same. So I can do everything by using a versatile parametric EQ.
That said: The stock Pro Tools EQ3.
