I’d like to start getting together a small handful of good EQs (software plug in’s please)
that can be used for different elements to help give character/body/warm sounds.
For instance with Thomas Gold, he’ll use one EQ for his bass, another for his hi’s and another for something else, etc.
I’ve always just used Abletons in built EQ for general EQing but having listened to samples from Future Music i’ve noticed you do get different kinda sounds depending on what EQ you use, i’ve also read this is the case too.
So i’d like to experiment around for myself really, but i don’t want to be sifting forever through loads of EQs without any solid suggestions of what are nice ones.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve had a look around and to be honest there seems like there are more EQs than you can possibly wave a stick at. I’m just looking for recommendations.
Is the URS Everything EQ any good??
What about the Retrology M-Tone?
that $1000 dollars for the everything bundle!! :ermm:
you need the soundgoodizer :unsure: or at least i was going to put that as a way to extract the urine until i found this

"Turn the knob to the level that sounds goodest. " haha
Have you tried it?
There is this one plugin that I heard of onetime that supposedly when you throw it on the master bus, it takes your song from mediocre to #1 on the Beatport charts!

LOL! If only 
Even though a lot of tracks on beatport are mediocre already!
i dont think you need to use another EQ that can cut with surgical precision , unless you do your own mastering . every DAW EQ is capable of cutting enough frequencies to mask your sounds of every instruments u use . if you work with soft or hardware synthetizer all the EQ needs to be done in the synth so when you export to audio Correctional EQ should be used.now for mastering i usually would leave it to a Ingenieer to do the hard work! as always this is just my opinion !
just remember that superstar Djs get Promotions for plug ins and hardware just showing off the Product , , i think that mr Gold might be just showing off :P.

You know what? Maybe it’s just me and that as I get older i’m losing some of my hearing. But sometimes I couldn’t really hear the difference between different eq’s on a certain track. I recently switched to Logic and i’ve been using its built-in channel eq and for me it’s good enough that I haven’t used any other EQ. Even the ones on my UAD-1 card (Precision, Cambridge). I recently realized that levels, panning, quality of recording, and choosing the right sounds is more important than EQ. My 2 cents…
No no I was looking for something that emulates that vintage warm presence that you get with some EQs. For instance using a hardware EQ like Liquid Mix?
