Finally i found a superb freeware EQ, and i have tested loads of em.
But this one beats all of em, with a nice GUI, and simple to use.

I Bought the Fabfilter pro Q earlier to use for my editing.

I have an Acc guitar track that sound's terrible.
I spendt like 20 minutes with Fabfilter Pro Q to, try getting the Acc guitar sound decent, but did not get satisfied !

And here, i came across an freeware EQ from " Mildon Studios " !
I use it on the track, takes me 2 minutes, and The Acc guitar sounds great !!
Woooot !!, finally after searching for more or less 1 year and testing load's of EQ's, i finally find one that really work.

this one: http://www.mildonstudios.com/products.php?item=30bandeq

IMHO, i think this beat the Fabfilter pro , at getting the sound pretty fast, it is not as surgical
But still.

Now i can finally Chill out, peace.

Sorry for posting this here, but just had too ;-)

I'm not disputing that it might be a great EQ (and I will check it out) but to rank it higher than the FabFilter EQ based on one case scenario seems a little premature.

Yeah i can agree to that in a way !
Of course i need to chk it on other tracks i have too, i just came across this EQ, so i have not tested it fully atm
But for the first check it amazed me, on the Acc Gtr track.

The Fabfilter Pro Q, has its good sides on cutting frequencies at a surgical lvl
but soundwise it is very " Digital " , meaning you do not get, any character out of it in any way.
And for me, it can be a bit " Lifeless " ,that is just my opinion so far.
And of course it was designed to do so.

I asked in the forum on Fabfilter if they could, add an Analog mode to it
and they answered:

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your feedback. FabFilter Pro-Q is meant to be a transparent EQ, but we do agree that a coloring EQ might be a great addition to our plugin collection in the future.

if it works for you then thats all that matters, its not ment to be surgical, those 30 band eq's have fixed frequencies and bandwidth

Everyone has a defenition of hearing sound, as well what they learn, as they get more experienced
working with sound as time goes by, it is a learning curve and also to experience what happens
and know where to dig right in to adjust the frequencies.

Calling it : " premature " , well maybe it is, by trying it on 1 track only before posting it !
But it tells me a lot, sitting with the Fabfilter Pro Q for 15- to 20 min's
on a single track to try getting the track sound good, and it just get half way there !

Then use this EQ 2 mins, and the sound is all in place !

I quote: i think this beat the Fabfilter pro , at getting the sound pretty fast, it is not as surgical
But still.

I did not say it was better.

All i wanted was to share a good EQ, and a free one too ;-)

That's one mighty fine endorsement. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess your enthusiasm got the better of you. On that note, I will at least check it out. Thanks

you might not want to do that, some of them are pretty good, like variety of sound, son EQ , melda free eq and so on
