ptheisen Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago For what it's worth, the Kirchhoff-EQ is currently available at Plugin Alliance for $59.99. It doesn't specify for how long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Walton Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Honestly at that price I think the newish Toneboosters Pro EQ is a better deal. The interface is certainly more pleasing and the sound is great. Yes, I have the Kirchhoff and it is excellent, but I also find the interface elements to be "too small" even though the overall interface is resizable. It does sound as good as anything out there to me though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's the only measure, but in their default settings, it's also cleaner in Plugin Doctor. Another one that really surprised me was apQualizr2 by apulSoft. I picked up the bundle cheaper than either Kirchoff or Pro EQ and it's a really nice clean surgical and creative EQ. Workflow is easy, but it feels a little clunky for some reason. I really rate it for clean or experimental as it has all sorts of modulation you can use. Edited 8 hours ago by MusicMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really rate it for clean or experimental as it has all sorts of modulation you can use. When I tested them I'll admit that at really extreme settings Kirchoff impressed me more than any other eq. That said, when I did a/b testing on normal settings that didn't need insane boosts someone shouldn't have to do with any decent source the differences I found to be negligible at best and the added filter types and far better interface for me personally certainly overcame any minor differences. Now if I have something that needs a crazy boost or cut, yes, Kirchoff is coming out. But for a tool that is basically on every track that I have to look at constantly, my vote goes for Toneboosters Pro. I bought Kirchoff before the TBP came out and expected it to be the end all eq but that interface leaves a lot to be desired. My eyesight and corrective lenses fall short. While it isn't anywhere close to the worst, they clearly don't have PHDs in human factors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Villanova Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Agree with your assessment. TB eq's have weird phase response in the high frequencies. It looks like it has a very steep low pass filter at nyquist or something. Kirchoof sounds better, but GUI is kind of meh. Can't have it all, it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjz Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago How do you guys like or compare the Kirchhoff and the Toneboosters to the FabFilter Pro Q4 (that I don't see myself ever paying 200 for). I haven't used any of the these eq's as I basically use what comes with my DAW and some of the many IK character ones I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used any of the these eq's as I basically use what comes with my DAW and some of the many IK character ones I have. I never really liked the sound of ProQ3 which is a bit opposite to most people.. I think it's to do with transient smearing, or something. But I love the workflow. FabFilter nails that. ProQ4 is supposed to be improved, but I still prefer some of the others. I'll still use it and it's a very good overall EQ, but if I didn't get EDU discount, I may have skipped it and stuck with ProQ3. As for stock DAW EQs it depends on the DAW. Frequency 2 in a certain DAW I use is very good. Edited 1 hour ago by MusicMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
