The only thing I've changed is the windowing size. I've attached 3 examples, each one has exactly the same EQ settings. The Windowing shape further fine tunes the overall feel of the EQ and how it treats transients. Need to do precision cuts or gentle boosts but absolutely not affect the impact of the transients at all? Use higher windowing sizes ("fast/punchy" eq in the analogue domain). Need to get everything to gel a bit and be a bit more smeared/coherent? Use smaller windowing sizes (or in the analogue domain, a "slow/fluffy" eq). So I use Equilibrium just like I would an analogue EQ. It's all about how the transients feel after equalizing (cutting or boosting). This is what Equilibrium can do when you use small windowing sizes. Same for the "slow and pillowy", aka "smeared or fluffy" analogue equalizers. You know how there are some really "tight and punchy", aka "fast" equalizers? This is what Equilibrium equates to when you have large windowing sizes. I try to think of it in analogue EQ terms. The customization (GUI and otherwise) in Equilibrium is more robust than most plugins I know of.

You can slim Equilibrium down considerably, and certainly lose the pno keys - I'm not in front on the work PC right now, but it's all there in the comprehensive preferences.Ĭheers, JTSure - Just go to Setup / GUI & select "Hide" Keyboard. Many of us older boomer guys would probably prefer the simpler designs. Perhaps a User Prefences choice for simple GUI vs advanced GUI could be included in many DAW apps these days. Or just type in the numbers.īusy cluttered GUI Seems to be the problem with many DAW things these days.Ĭompetition to include too many features, approaching the bloatware design of MS Word etc. On the Epure, used to could drag the numbers themselves, which i prefer, now you hafta drag the skewmorphic knobs, or the on-graph dots.

I’ve been using the Flux Epure3 (&2) for many years, but might consider adding both the FF-Q3 and the DMG EQ to my arsenal.

I know the frequency numbers (by rote) from the mids on down, don’t really need the keyboard distraction. Is there a way to remove the piano keyboard on the DMG? Agreed the Fab Q-3 is quite elegant, and the Equilibrium is busy.
