Sorry JT,

Thanks for letting me know I'm a goof ball for posting the upgrade price.

Brian , this was only a post about a sale, not a debate about which one is best, however, I do love using the  Kirchhoff!!

My post wasn't about which is best.  The point being that even at an upgrade price - there are alternatives that one might consider looking at.  The ToneBoosters pro being one of them that many don't know about (never posted here because those products don't go on sale).  

Kirchhoff has an annoying UI, IMO but sounds great.

 

At the revised price, the TB4 Pro is 1/2 the price of this basically.

what is so fantastic about this EQ ?

 

 

Good combo of UI, Features, Workflow, Sound quality and CPU consumption (and reasonable authorization system).   Most consider this to be the standard by which all other EQs of its type are measured by.  

That said, to my point above - I personally think at half the sale price of this the ToneBoosters PRO is every bit a worthy rival and ticks  those boxes as well.

I think it's mostly that tbf,  although I'm sure it's not too shabby,

I have heard good things about the toneboosters one.

there are other good ones out there.

Be sure to look at the ToneBoosters Pro one, it is different than the "v4" and just came out a couple months ago that most people know about.

I have watched some YT videos on it. It seems very advanced and useful. Just not sure I am that sort of surgical EQ type person who needs to see a live view of what its doing to the signal. The more I use these software eq's the more I find i gravitate towards things with knobs and coloration. My most used ones are IK EQ81 and the Softube Class A. If I need to see what is happening to the signal I plop FL parametric eq on it to see.

I'll have to check on it, but I'm pretty sure you can turn the different visualizations off and that certainly isn't a driver for using an EQ like this for me.

While I have tons of "hardware" based EQ including the EQ81, etc - they are terribly inefficient from a work flow perspective.  It doesn't have anything to do with these things having surgical options.  Grab a frequency and adjust the Q with the same motion (by holding down a modifier or scroll wheel on your mouse) vs. having to adjust different knobs controlling those on the hardware looking ones.

Coloration aspects I can understand but frankly, most real world EQs that are high end don't tend to have a ton of coloration on them despite what plugin makers push.  I expect the PRO eq will eventually get a saturation module given EQ4 had some of that from what I remember.  

If I had a hardware controller that is mapped to a hardware EQ plugin it would be different as you can grab both knobs at once (or use just one as needed) for quick adjustments.  I also don't like "surgical eq" I want broad strokes and still find a TB Pro eq better at that.

Confirmed you don't need the visual feedback and there is also an alternate view if you don't want to see where your adjustment curves are (and yes you can tweak the settings in the 2nd view by click and drag
