Neve or close to EQ like this ... need advice thanks!
I am considering buying this EQ , i have tried it a bit, and i really like the sound EDIT : (not quite as good as the UAD neve 1073 ) but then again i don't want any hardware card, to expensive for me atm 3 band's may come short as a basic go to EQ for everything ! i am also unsure about waves in general. I mostly like plugins as, ddl files and 1 time register / serial code ;-) How do it work when i buy a plugin from them, when i activate it and later on, may re install my Windows, and install the plugin again do i need to be online for that ? any other things i need to know if i buy waves product's ! Considering the EQ, what other EQ's with exact / " similar " sound could i get if i want a few more bands is there other brands that would be an option ! Jan

This uses Waves cloud not a serial code. No problems for myself, others don't like it.
There's also the IK Neve which I use more than the Scheps although the m/s feature is nice.
Slate is releasing his new VMR soon ( I think) which will also featue a Neve model.

Carl is right about the Waves Cloud System. It is painless. If you want to redo your PC, you just send your licenses to the cloud. Once your done, reinstall and bring you licenses back. I like it far better the iLok. And best of all there's no transfer fee. If you decide to sell, just send your license to the Cloud and tell Matt @ Waves who the new owner is. I have the IK 73 and it does add some character. You can find the Schepps by Waves on KVR for around $80 pretty regularly...

seems like you guy's prefer the IK multimedia version before waves one
any reason for that ?
* Carl, i know about the Slate digital VMR, and will check it as a demo, later on if they will have one !
2 eq's and 2 compressors , seems nice, but how it will sound, remain's yet to hear.
maybe i should wait for it, I have iLOK 2 ...
and the VCC

I don't have a preference...
I like the Waves Licensing scheme FAR better then IK's $19 transfer fee...
Also, the Waves seem to have better resale value overall...from my experience.
But they are both decent 73 emus....

While I prefer the IK 73's sound to the Scheps on most sources, if you're concerned about resale, last I checked, the IK single plugins bought via the Custom Shop weren't transferable at all. So make sure you like it before buying.
That said, I think I'd wait for the VMR before jumping on either of these, assuming you don't mind the iLok.
Cheers,
Eddie

I really like my new Scheps from WAVES. Very colorful. Preferred over my UAD 1073.

I'm with Alex on this. The Quadcurve does a real good job. And it has the analyzer with it now.

The quad curve is similar to FabFilters Pro Q (my fave) in that it is very accurate albeit a bit "clinical". Very useful. But what the OP is after is a very "colorful" eq...and the Scheps is definitely that.

Yepp, i really like the waves Scheps sound, and with the same settings with the demo of the IK Multimedia EQ 73 they still cant compare to each other, the waves one beats the IK EQ, in ( open'ess ) with the preamp function. The scheps is fatter sounding also with a bit more character, maybe it got wider Q than the IK one ! the IK multimedia one is more in the mid ranged, and neutral / flat sounding compared to Scheps to understand what i mean, listen to this : Youtube skip to 6 mins, the UAD Neve 1073 is a big winner. Notice the open'ess / room sound, versus mono'ish upfront sound its the Mojo coming and leaving here... If i could afford it i would get the best UAD card and the Neve 1073 but i cant afford the cheapest single processor card.... then the decision is made so far that's why i think the Waves Scheps, is the alternative for me. I want Scheps 73 sound, with more EQ bands.... thats it. Jan

Maybe, if there's no other suggestions on EQ ,atleast i think the EQ's in the VMR has 4 bands ?

Also take a look at the Waves VEQ3, based on the Neve 1066 and 1073. It's a beautifully sweet sounding EQ, especially on guitars and vocals. I love it. You can make HUGE boosts with it and it still sounds very musical.

Yes I believe that to be the case. Do you have the "fly out" ability on the Quadcurve? [edit] I went look at the product page for the different versions and saw that Quadecurve is there in both versions. Only in producer it shows that it has "Zoom" and Studio doesn't. So look and see if the analyzer function is there. Not really sure.

Thanks i know about it, but would prefer the scheps 73 over the VEQ3, it also have 3 band only The VEQ3 cuts a bit more on the high's than the Scheps 73 do, and i like the high's i actually want a " Scheps 73 sounding " EQ , with more EQ bands ( 4 to 6 ) Any suggestions...

Probably cheaper to update to producer than buy an EQ plugin!

i actually want a " Scheps 73 sounding " EQ , with more EQ bands ( 4 to 6 )
Any suggestions...
The Slate VMR will include a Neve-modeled EQ plugin with 4 bands, as you noted. But another soon-to-arrive (  ) EQ that may be worth waiting for is the Eiosis AirEQ -- reports from beta-testers have been intriguing, to say the least. As you may know, it's from the same developer who does the Slate plugins -- Fabrice Gabriel. Cheers, Eddie

Yepp already have that one , not to bad for a freeware EQ yorolpal

Will try that one also, thanks carl
Since you were looking at Waves did you demo this?

Yeah i know about the VMR from slate, i am following it closely, but i want to test it before i buy Also know about the Eosis AirEQ, i am very excited how that will sound and if it is possible to get it without the hardware controller, just the plugin only, but it depends how much it will cost !. Thanks for all of the suggestions so far. Jan
