So...Is Pro-Q 2 it?

I've been looking around for a new EQ and software that can do spectrum matching. Pro-Q 2 does both. I have good EQs and so I've been testing the Acon Digital Defilter (good plugin), but I'm not sure It gives a clear impression of a reference materials spectrum. I'm wanting a visual aid...not an audio aid. The spectrum match would only be a lose guide to help show problem areas. A plugin that could freeze the spectrum of reference material may be enough. It seems Pro-Q will do just about anything, but it's $165 for me. Any ideas on alternatives?

I may just have to look into that one. I always forget about Melda Productions for some reason. I need to do the update so I'll check it out. Thanks.
What about MautodynamicEQ?

Fabfilter Pro-Q2 has made most of my other EQ's obsolete, especially since you can use it in Low Latency, Natural Phase, or Linear Phase modes, 3 totally different CPU hits, depending on what you're using it to do.
I use Sonar Quadcurve EQ (Pro channel) when doing recording, to quickly rough in a mix, for the sheer convenience . . . but then it usually gets replaced by Pro-Q2 when the mixing gets serious.
 
Like you found out . . . not cheap.
Before I got the Fabfilter Pro-Q2, I used a combination of Voxengo Span (now 64 bit VST3 - FREE !) and Sonar Quadcurve Pro channel, which worked well, but took a while longer to set up, and had a few less features.
 
Not totally sure what you mean by a "spectrum matching" feature but I believe Izotope's Ozone has this ?
 
Clicked on your You Tube link ! . . . maybe you don't need better EQ ? ... sounds excellent to me ;)

If you're looking for a best-buy, the one EQ that'll handle just about any situation, my recommendation would be MDynamicEQ when it goes on sale. It doesn't have the EQ-match feature, but trust me, you don't need it. I do use Pro-Q2 90% of the time, but if I had to I could manage just fine with nothing but MDynamicEQ on everything. 
 
The main thing the Pro-Q2 offers over MDynamicEQ is M/S processing. Other EQs can do M/S (including MDynamicEQ), but Pro-Q is one of the few that can mix stereo and M/S filters in the same instance.

I have both Mdynamic and MautodynamicEQ downloaded to try. I did demo Pro-Q 2. Pro-Q 2 is awesome, I just need to decide if I want to spend that much now. I like what Acon Defilter is trying to do, but for the money It cost I would rather have Mautodynamic. I do have great Eq's already, but I want to learn from the sprectrum matching thing, so that is really a must for whatever I settle on.
I have read your review on Mdynamic, Mautodynamic and Spectraldynamics 3 times since yesterday. (Tracktion 6 is also interesting)
