EQ Plugins

Description

All EQs are set as similar as I could make them, given their different features and layouts. Here's the basic settings: HP @ 80Hz, LF Shelf @ 220Hz +3dB, MF @ 1.2kHz +2dB, HF Shelf @ 10kHz +3dB.

Signal tracked with an ADK TC mic through a Sebatron Thorax preamp (slight EQ and compression going in), converted with an Apogee Duet and tracked into Logic 8 at 48/24.

I've been reading for weeks to find the "best" EQ plugin that gives that "analog" sound. I know now which one I love, and it's apparent to me, but perhaps every ear is different. What do you think?

  • At first listen my favorite was the Neve 1073. It just seemed to be the smoothest. I preferred all the UA stuff in general.

  • As i listened down the line, the Waves V Series EQ3 caught me, but when I heard the UA Neve 1073, I was like "yea! that's it!". Very smooth and warm- my favorite.
