The new LP EQ looks really interesting, I am curious how it compares to the Quad Curve EQ.
 
What are the differences and what are the best scenario's to use the each EQ?

The video is a good tutorial of the LP EQ only.
 
How does it compare with the Quad Curve EQ though? E.g. is the Quad Curve better for tracks, does it colour the sound more etc?

Quad Curve is Minimum Phase
LP is Linear Phase

I think non linear setting is minimum phase

Correct - the LP can do both.  And the UI is really slick...
 
Some advantages of the QC EQ are that its available in the Pro Channel, has three different sizes available (as well as the TI/CV display without needing to open the UI), and includes the four predefined Q/level styles (G, E, Pure and Hybrid).

True, but I don't think I'd use the LP on tracks - the QC is more than capable for basic mixing and will cause much less of a CPU hit than the LP which was the OP's original question

i think on the non linear setting, the cpu hit isnt bad at all, havent tried enuff instances yet of the lp on non linear setting to say tbh

There have been some very helpful replies - thank you. 
 
Previously I wasn't aware of Minimum vs Linear phase, so this was very informative. 
I did a little digging and found this tutorial: http://theaudiospotlight....hase-vs-minimum-phase/
