Can someone measure and analyze what this EQ does, because compared to anything else I own, it produces "magic"... I am not sure what it does, but for example boosting 3400Hz by several db with this EQ or doing the same thing with anything else digital I have - IS NOT THE SAME.
I would be glad if someone could measure what's the "magic" of this "unit"... and why is it so different from anything else and so sweet... |
Well, in the Ultimate Plugin Analysis thread, it's been demonstrated that the statement "all digital eq's are the same" is completely false. Nebula and a few other eq's, vary from most digital eq's in that it has analog-like bell curves and phase......and it doesn't deform at high frequencies like most digital eq's. In addition to that, Nebula's eq programs also add harmonic distortion and saturation....based on the actual hardware it's sampling, making it even more unique from the typical algorithmic eq.
