I agree - almost null, isn't quite the same.

After reading this thread, I decided to give my DAW's onboard eq's another chance. Here's what I found.

There is a big difference sometimes between what is true theoretically and what is true in practicality. The reality is that in the heat of a mix it's likely that you will produce different results on different eq's because of the different interfaces.

I'm curious, some of these "nulls" might be made using two or three envelopes to reproduce one simple curve on the original. The reality is that the settings and resulting eq curves you find while listening will be different depending on the functionality of the device.

On the other hand, because of this thread I'm now on the hunt for the most ergonomic and practical eq with different choices of curves and functionality that isn't very expensive. What are the contenders?
