What were you at the infamous lecture where I was asked how do use EQ and I answered “ I close my eyes and turn the knobs till it sounds right!”😁 Yeah, that will really piss people off. And then there's the 'do the opposite' method. Where you boost until you find the offending frequency to cut. Few people understand that one! |

Everybody wants this to be paint by numbers and really hate the fact we get paid to listen an adapt. |

Yes like pot dealers before medical / legal weed, there was once Upon a time a place and time where audio professionals actually got paid. Of course we also had to walk 3 miles in the snow uphill both ways to and from the studio. Imagine, audio once paid better than Burger King and the studios sounded better than the BK olayland. |

Oh, the black market is alive and well, my friend. Stronger and stranger than ever. |

My mastering buddy got his Terry CEQ (in black). I haven't been down to see and hear it yet but he's loving it.

I had to join this forum just to chime into this thread. On paper, pretty unique device, all of the demos I heard sound pretty awesome, I don't really care about the looks, and I'm all about very modern and clean looking crap. Bought one anyway, along with a few new pieces from Knif. Going to be a sweet chain in and out of the computer. I had been considering buying a Black Box HG2, but Knif just released something very similar to it, with a couple more transformers in it, and a much wider variety of functionality. M/S matrix and processing. Filtering all kinds of stuff. Looks like a black box on steroids, and apparently can be subtle to nasty.
Pretty excited to put it all together with the Terry CEQ.

I want your gear budget! I've now used my buddy's CEQ many times, it's a great EQ, you're going to be thrilled. |

Very nice, I am excited about it. I will agree, it isn't the best looking, but on paper, the functionality, and the few sound examples, sounds gold.
I am a visual designer by day, and I designed a new faceplate for it, added frequency numbers, just to see how it would look, but kept the original style and vibe of it. I don't know if that would offend the creator of the EQ? Know what I mean...

Yeah I took the 'cheat sheet' and put all of that info on the panel. I get it. 'Use your ears'. This is a classic case of poor UX interface design for a product. But it can be fixed. It doesn't make it unusable.

It doesn't make it unusable. It's a headache to look at and imagine until you get your hands on it. I had the cheat sheet handy at first but it becomes intuitive quickly. |
