Hello everyone on the topic of very good freeware EQ plug-ins: have you guys tried out Bootsy’s Boot EQ plug-in and his ‘Nasty Series’ Colouring LF, Mids and HF series plug-ins. If you have not tried them i highly recommend them and they are also freeware (albeit PC VST Only format). There are two places where you can find information and download links:

http://www.rekkerd.org (Simple overview of the plug-ins with download link)

http://www.kvraudio.com (numerous threads about bootsy’s plug-ins as well as download links)

If you have already tried them or have them i am sorry for bigging them up but if you have not the you are for a treat everyone

Hope you find them useful

The NYquist is quite powerful, and has a reasonably transparent/focused sound for a freebie. But the complete lack of numerical guide points (e.g. 20hz, 40hz, 80hz, 320hz, 1khz, etc, etc) makes it hard to use. In a way, that should actually be a good thing, as it forces you to use your *ears* instead of your eyes. But I still don’t like it! :)

I’m gonna check out this Paris thing now.
So far, nothing I’ve tried beats the EQ module within Ozone3, so I tend to use that on most tracks that need EQ. I demo’d the Blue Cat parametric EQ, but it’s less user-friendly than Ozone (you can’t drag the nodes around with your mouse), and no better sounding.

Jan,

I wouldn’t hold my breath, I’m afraid :-(

Matt, the plugin’s original author, is nowhere to be found, so I doubt there’s be any updates.

Have you checked out the NYquist EQ? http://magnus.smartelectronix.com/

It’s less intuitive, but way more powerful.

I am pretty psyched about the Paris EQ … switched to HD3 after my paris rig gave out. Any plans for VST on Mac (please, please, please) and if so, WHEN?
THanks man, you rock !!!

Well, I’ll be… After I spent an hour finally locating a working download for this plug not but yesterday, here you are with the file. :-P I’ve been playing with this one for a while, and I’m quite amazed at how musical it is, though it can definitely be pushed into making some weird noises. It’s definitely not a transparent, surgical-strike type of EQ.

I’ve also been playing with NyquistEQ, and have been impressed with it, the few minutes I’ve had to play around so far.
