Should I spend $129 on this EQ when I have all the others I have (including Fabfilter)?

What would its advantages be?

I'm interested in hearing what others think about this, too. Hopefully someone has had a lot of experience using it. I've read nothing but good things about this EQ, but I wish there were more (and better) videos on youtube that really showed if this things works as well as people say. So far I haven't been tempted enough to break my promise to stop buying plug-ins that overlap others and never seem to get used. This one is close though. :)

probably not,,billy arnell got me in to brainworx.
he glorified them as greatness.
i bought a 2 for 3 deal a while back.i use alot.
dont have fabfilter,cant compare.
i do like the intelligent Presence Shifters.
and its got a few other things i really like about it.
i think i use it more because of how much i paid for it rather than demand which is ludicrist.

i often fall in to this where i buy a plug in for big change and think i need to use it on everything.

Thanks Charlie. I'll probably succumb unless I can keep myself busy for the next three days and ignore the offer.

if there is one thing ive learned about you over the years its your weakness to offers.  :)

i have read your plug in catalog.
im not sure you need this one,but explore it anyway if you'd like.

good luck.

Don't do it, Ed. Surely you're too old mature and wise to fall for marketing fluff.

Instead of asking what ___ will do for you, start by asking yourself what you think it might do for you. If you can't make a list, then it probably won't.

Charlie, funny you should mention that BA got you into brainworx. He got me into FabFilter. His legacy lives on.

Honestly Dave, I'm so new to the true art of mixing that sometime I'm not sure how to articulate what I want or need. And many a time it's recommendations (like yours about Fabfilter) that allow me to think outside of my little pea brain the box.

For what it's worth Ed, all that Brainworx stuff is fantastic. However, it's more geared for mid-side type stuff...which if you aren't careful, can totally destroy a mix. Personally...I don't think you need it, but for someone like me and the stuff I do, nothing does it like the Brainworx stuff. There is a bit of a learning curve as well as some pretty intense trial and error....and...their plugs are pretty intimidating at first. Quite a bit of stuff to play with that may not do anything when you mess with it at first until you learn the uses.

These can also be used as surgical tools as well as special effects tools due to the numerous options given. I personally bought the Brainworx stuff because nothing else I owned did what they did and I had a specific need for it. For me, they are tools I use probably half the time in my productions. So depending on what you're doing over there....the answer is up to you brother. :)

Thanks Danny. Food for thought. It's probably beyond my "pay grade".
