Subject: software eq vs. hardware
Original Message Date: 24-Jan-04 @ 08:08 AM - software eq vs. hardware
planning to do some post and I'm looking for some advice on eq's... hardware or
software? choices...??? I'm putting up the Sony Oxford Tdm plugin vs a good hardware.
Would there be any point in getting a hardware unit to do the eq when the oxford is known
as being state of the art?
I've been thinking about this a lot... if anyone thinks of a good hardware eq under $ 700, tell
me about it. Would things sound better coming out of a digital domain and back into? or
just stick with the plugin?
I'm not satisfied with the waves eq. I need added color. shit... makes me think of old
analog tubes... old Sony betacams are known for being softer and more pleasant on video
while the digibetas are cold and harsh but are more accurate. must apply everywhere...
maybe a cheap solution for eq's with old equipment would be a good idea. any ideas?

My tracks knock when I want them to, and I do it with software, using a mouse, my screen, and my skill. I can talk just as big as you, Ape, and I got the experience to back it up, so why don't we drop our precious gospels and open our minds to other sub-$700 possibilities.
REQ has character, and unless you use it on a regular basis, please accept my humble disinterest in your opinion.

I use my TC 1220 on a regular basis. Love it. I have the REQ 2, 4, and 6 band, and....hohum. Sure they work, but they're nothing like hardware. Different beast, and I like real knobs, just closing my eyes, and gently dialing in or out what I want. Contrary to what some software manufacturers might have you believe, music is not a visual thing. It's not a set numbers thing. Well...maybe trance is.
Now admittedly the Waves Reverb plugin is quite nice.

fair 'nuff, and thank you for clarification. To each his own I suppose.
