How is this versus the MDWEQ? I'd love to know if the curves are identical to the MDWEQ. Although I would assume so. However, there's an oversampling option and I'm not sure why. Probably for the deesser? Pulsar plugins are all fantastic, and I have high hopes for this one. |

Hopefully, they will offer a prorated discount to clients, I have a few Pulsar and use them regularly.

Nice interface. I really like the tilt function - very handy.
Wondering how much processing power it uses.

I would really like to know how this one compare to MDWEQ I just tried it. It has some minute harmonic distortion, the Q is much wider, and the GUI is AWFUL. The GUI is so bad I won't want to use it. It's worse than the MDW and old PSP GUIs. It's not nearly as surgical. It seems they were trying to go for a combo of Softube Weiss meets GML color scheme skeuomorphism and shot themselves into isometric Fischer Price hell. |

I'd like to try it to compare it to DMG's Equilibrium. Equilibrium has both the 8200 curves and the parallel filter setting. No nonsense GUI.

I'm comparing to MDW and they are close. Unfortunately the workflow/GUI is indeed really bad. MDW gets me where I want much fast and intuitive. To tell the truth, the MDW GUI is great. Simple and easy. One thing I like on the Pulsar is the De-esser. Might eventually get it just because of that. |

Hey!
This will be my first post on this forum. I'm here because I like to read people who know the job of sound engineer much better than I do. That said, I find it a shame to compare this plugin to the hardware version or to the MDWEQ6 which, in my opinion, does not offer as many features as this Pulsar Audio. I know that this plugin is supposed to emulate the hardware but it offers a different workflow and for me much more complete than the MDWEQ6. I am absolutely no mastering engineer but I found this plugin so good that I bought it immediately. In a few clicks I got the sound I wanted, the curves are well thought out (probably like on the hardware version or the MDWEQ6) and the extra additions like the de-esser and the tilt, sub and air curves are really good thought. These are the additions that for me make the difference.

The GUI is very similar to several other EQs in operation. I don't see why it should slow anyone down. Kind of a ridiculous complaint, just knowing how some other GUIs look compared to this one.

Kind of a ridiculous complaint, just knowing how some other GUIs look compared to this one. it's kind of small and blurry. also a bit hard to see where the knobs are. it's also white, and that can cause eyes fatiguing. I don't know why I don't like it that much, because i have Massive, which have the same aesthetics, but looks to me a lot better. Anyway, I'll probably get this. Sound very very close to MDWEQ6, for much less. And it has more bands, and the de-esser sounds good. |

Wish you could control the Q on it though. I never use an air band on vocals, but I thought this one sounded great. |

It’s really impressive for £50. Not as good as the MH Sontec but that is 3 times the price or more. Used together you can do some great stuff. ITB eq has come a long, long way.

ITB eq has come a long, long way. What do you mean by this? EQ algorithms haven't changed in the last 20+ years, which was when better decramping methods were introduced. If you mean the user interfaces are nicer now, I agree. |

I mean, you have good ones out there for a while, like MDW, EQuilibrium (if you want all options and complexity) but this 8200 and the MH Sontec are among the best I've tried and they were released on the last 6 months or so. |

If you mean the user interfaces are nicer now, I agree. Good EQ filter structures have become more common. Bad EQ filter structures found in older textbooks are still very common. Good EQ filters were available back in the 2000s but cost hundreds of dollars and you can still buy most of them for well over a hundred dollars. Pick your poison. Now if you have Ableton or Reaper, you can get world class EQs for free in EQ8 or the ReEQ add on. www.ableton.com/en/blog/andrew-simper-glue-eq-eight/forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=213501 |

There are others that are excellent going back to the Oxford EQ. Some of the McDSP stuff still sounds pretty cool too but I haven't ABed it to anything or put it into plugin doctor outside of the dynamics. Massively vibey are the Fuse VQP and VQA eqs and the Tokyo Dawn Slick EQ GE and M can be incredibly smooth to a guitar pedal. |

That's quite a step up from the original ReaEQ. |
