urs neve and api EQs

Post by xSALx » Wed Nov 02, 2005 3:34 pm

So what do u guys think about these? Im debating whether to get them or not. I know they're not gonna be as good as the hardware, but do they sound good?

I got them and I love them. Really way way better sounding than the waves stuff. Until I tried these I thought all plugs sounded the same, but these are definitly better than any other EQ plug I have tried and they are great for rock n roll, in my opinion.

I rescued a very poorly recorded kick in one mix and gave some real bite to some muddy sounding guitars. Only a small adjustment and you will really hear the change.

Two more things:
1. They are super easy on the CPU. You can run one on every channel (not that you would want to) but no matter how many I use I never see any problem with performance.

2. I really like the limited number of choices compared to the infinite number of Q, freq, etc in Waves. If I knew a sound needed some adjusting I could end up playing with it forever and not finding what I am looking for with waves. With these, it's much quicker for me to get good results.

Just my opinion, but obviously I am a fan.

The waves stuff is underwhelming and old, in any case. The Rencomp and channel is ok, as is the linear stuff, if you have the massive bucks for it.

I have the URS eq's and I like them quite a bit so far. The eq's are very responsive. The slight boost definitely gives a noticable change. Thumbs up :)

Another vote for! The URS eq's are the best I've tried.
