there might be some great eq's that do the same thing but the Air Eq sounds very much like an aphex aural exciter.

sorry i was reading the thread and probably i quoted not the right examples.

i repeat the question, the OP has nulled some HW emulations like Waves SSL and API and others which generates harmonics, he has even nulled the Air Eq all with the Sonar EQ.

I just don't understand how it is possible the Sonar Eq, which doesn't generate harmonics, can null EQs which generates harmonics in different ways.

And i don't understand why the Air Eq sounds so different to me than the other Eq (and not only to me even to Michael Brauer) if can be nulled with the Sonar Eq.

In particularly the filters, the Q sounds so different to any other Eq digital and analog.

I can mute a resonance with some Db with the narrowest Q if i watch the spectrum analyzer see the resonance almost disappear, i mean it goes at the level of the other frequencies or even lower, sometimes with just few db.

I would like to see the values in the Air Eq (if you can post a picture with the plug in with show mode on) because they also seems pretty identical.

I believe in math, graph, etc, but why my ears hear this Eq so different to all the others?
