I'm looking for an equalizer that can capture a profile of a track I admire and that can then apply that EQ profile to my own stuff.
 
I've never used one before and I'd prefer it if it was simple to use, anyone got any suggestions.
 
Thanks - rev

izotope has this as part of its feature set with several profiles loaded from various albums.   You select it and it will setup the eq section accordingly.
 
good luck!

Do you know the name of it - or will I have no trouble finding it?
 
Thanks!

FabFilter pro-Q2 will do this, see link below:

I believe he is talking about Ozone.

The least-expensive one I know of would be MAutoDynamicEQ when it's on sale (which it is ATM).
 
I would, however, only recommend it (or Pro-Q2 or Ozone) because it'll remain useful to you after you've figured out that EQ-matching doesn't work.
 
Well, I shouldn't say it never works. If you're trying to match dialog or vocal takes recorded at different times or with different microphones, that's what EQ-matching is meant for. Sometimes it'll help you with guitar tones if you're already pretty close. But you'll quickly discover that it's a useless technique for mastering.

>it'll remain useful to you after you've figured out that EQ-matching doesn't work.
That's given me pause. Maybe I'll try Pro Q2 in eval mode first.

I have to agree with this Dave. I don't see the point of it overall. The situations you point out makes sense otherwise I believe it to be a very limited feature. I did try it a very long time ago with no real usefulness that I could see.

Good thinking. It won't cost you anything to give it a try, and if you're like most of us mortals you'll fall in love with Pro-Q anyway regardless of EQ-matching.

TDR Slick EQ "M" edition will do it.
Mautodynamiceq is what I use, but honestly this never works well on it's own.
It's a good way to see where the differences are, and then go back and work on the mix.
