Oh, and Happy New Year, by the way.

Ok, so I'm not missing out on some secret knowledge lol.

I agree with John.  It is not a go to EQ.  The basic EQ's that are bundled with most DAW's are usually well within their abilties to handle most things.  The LP64 is nice for mastering though.

+1. When the LP 64 first came out, I compared it on a technical basis with the Sonitus. I could notice a difference in the clarity of the high frequencies, but this was before the tweaks in X1 that made the LP64 usable...so I also noticed that adjusting parameters was so glitchy and the CPU hit so bad, it was frustrating to use.
 
Back in the day it was quite something, but current EQ technology has improved to the point where while the LP64 still has its uses - like when you want to EQ something but have it sound like you didn't apply any EQ - a lot of times the point of EQ is adding some sort of character, and the LP 64 doesn't really do that.
 
It's very much to my ears like the kind of EQs TC Electronics had in their PowerCore system. As that has faded into history, it's nice to know that when I want that kind of EQ, the LP 64 is still around (and not frustrating to tweak any more).

If there was secret knowledge about it, do you think we'd be so foolish as to mention it in a public forum? If you haven't discovered the anti-gravity button in the interface, I'm not going to be the one to show you where it is.

Tell me , tell me! i want to be one of the cool kids!!

Well this is where this forum shines. The cream of the crop members are here posting much the same thing. What else can anyone ask for? Maybe the location for the secrete button for activating anti gravity is the only thing left to figure out. 

The Men in Black won't allow it. Sorry. Either you know it, or you don't.

To the O.P. - No, I haven't used the LP-64 much for a while.  The Quad Curve is my main EQ.
 
It (LP-64) can work well for me when all else has failed, but I use it as a last resort now, and only when mastering..  This is what it was designed for. I think.  I remember using it on a vocal when it first came out, whilst tracking, and loved the results, but couldn't understand why my DAW slowed to a halt..  This is when I first learnt about latency..
 
The Blue Tubes Pultec EQ (PEQ2B) is nice on tracks (bass drums, snare, bass guitar etc), but the PULSE-TEC EQ plug-in is great as a mastering plug in.  The inclusion of the Pultec Mid-Range Equalizer MEQ-5 (with the Pultec EQP-1A) "takes it to another level" for me.
 
I also picked this up on sale recently for £6 (instead of $129) or so, and was blown away.  Even the presets sound great.
 
So - to the O.P. - I still use the LP64 EQ and Multiband Compressor, but only when mastering, and not as often as I used to..
 
 

I just picked up the pultec EQ's on sale too.  i have a few vocal projects I have been wanting to try those on.

I am very curious to know what software eq Mr. Anderton loves.  I have been using DMG Equality with fairly good success.  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

The LP-64 has been my go to eq on the master bus since X1. It's there to add that "ever so slight" nudge to those frequencies that the song is asking to be brought out or pushed back. As someone else here has said, it's quite transparent but has quite a hit on the CPU; much too CPU intensive to put on every channel on my computer, it would grind to a halt very quickly if I used it on more than just the one channel.
Just lately though, I have been using the Pro Channel EQ on my master bus as it's so easy to use, it's just there, and it doesn't seem to mess with the sound too much if you don't over tweak it.
