I also don't buy the assertion that all EQ plugins sound the same, and that differences we hear are all placebo & illusion. My ears tell me otherwise. If I use the high pass filter on the logic eq it doesn't sound as good as when I use the hpf on a Sonnox plugin. The Sonnox plugin simply sounds better. |
That's true, but the comment earlier was aimed at the people buying software EQs over and over again, hoping to find THE plugin that will make their mixes sound that much better. I don't think it's going to happen. If an EQ plugin costs say 200$, and you buy four of them, you could have bought a very good hardware stereo EQ like the one from Arsenal Audio as well. And it would probably sound better than those four software EQs.
