Where are you guys seeing the Sonnox stuff on sale for the best price?
The Sonnox website? I was gonna go shop on their site, but I wanted to make sure that there wasn't maybe even a better price somewhere else?

Where Oxford and MDW shine is eqing a real piano or real strings. MDWEQ sounds good but I stopped using it because it cannot be automated without zipper noise and pops. The Oxford can. I do not think the MDWEQ has ramped parameters. At 44.1 and 48 kHz, I now use the Weiss EQ1 and EQ MP, which have better anti-aliasing filters than the MDWEQ, which brickwalls rather early in the spectrum and is audible. Single sample rates with it sound different than 88.2 and 96 kHz. The Weiss, TDR Slick EQs, and Goodhertz Tone Control have the smoothest high end of any eqs I’ve tried at single sample rates. The Slick EQs and EQ1 just have very well chosen filters and oversampling with proper linear phase anti aliasing filters to not cramp. Tone Control is just well chosen shelves so cannot cramp. Weiss EQ MP is oversampled but since eq is a linear process that doesn’t expand the bandwidth itself, they only have to filter it once instead of twice (to kill the mirror images and then filter it afterwards back to the session sample rate. Since iir, minimum phase eq is a linear process, they only have to filter it once since the mirror images cannot affect the processing), resulting in less pre-ringing. The Ableton EQ8 and TDR Eco modes do something similar but the EQ8 has mixed phase anti alias filters. The decramped eqs, correctly post warped by fir filter eqs, and oversampled eqs with minimum phase filters cannot compete with transparency of bell filters in the high end at sample rates with brute force oversampling. I still use the Oxford eq, which is decramped, a ton because my old laptop with integrated graphics doesn’t like the Weiss and at double sampling rates, it is very similar to the Weiss even if a bit different sounding. If someone would make a standard parametric eq with well chosen gain:q using the zavalishin and simper filters, that would have the least numerical errors but unfortunately most of the “better than fabfilter” drawable filter Ms paint eqs just throw everything at the wall and hole that schtick sticks where pro q is a bog standard decramped, orfanidis paper eq in zero latency mode with a weird q knob scaling and zero gain:q normally and a crappy fir warped eq that softens everything in natural phase mode. The only developer to even make clear choices and pick something for that type of EQ interface was Softube with the Weiss EQ MP. |

I've never used them. Too expensive. I use the Oxford EQ a lot now for parametric. Pro Q, Weiss EQ MP, and other drawable eqs, I tend to go overboard with my moves but it's good. |

I bought 2 plugins and am still considering a reverb option... I hate reverb so I also hate buying MORE... |

Goodhertz 10th anniversary sale this week. They do sales a couple times per year, stacks with their bundle discounts. Also they're announcing Vulf Compressor Mastering Edition. If you've not checked their stuff out now's a fine time to do so. Everything they do is a slightly different take on the norm. You probably have plugins that do most of this stuff (though not all... see: Compressor, Vulf) but you don't have plugins that take the approach to these challenges that Goodhertz does. goodhertz.com/tonal/10-years/ |

All the Black Rooster stuff is $10. I was eyeing their La3a a few months back but ended up getting something else.
Cheers,

I liked my short demo of the strip so much I went ahead and got the bundle so I have the tape, verbs and distortion How do you like them so far? Seems like more and more quality stuff keeps getting released and for good prices. But it's tough to keep up with it all. Haven't gotten a feel for everthing. i bought it for the channel strip, the chorus/delay/verb, the tape distortion but there's more to like like the lofi reverb, etc. |

Fuse Audio Labs has all of its plugins at $14.90 Any favorites? They're all quite good. I'd say if there's a few that look like something you need, try it out. I pretty much 80% of them and what I use most (and I use them a lot): - TCS68 (great saturation, smoother EQ than you may expect) - VQA-154 - VQP Bundle - VCL-864 - VPRE-562A (a favorite) - VREV-305 (I use it almost as a plate, sits in a mix very well) - VCS-1 (it's my default strip) |

Looking to buy an EQ from Sonnox.
I see they have 3 options. Oxford EQ, Oxford Dynamic EQ and Claro.
Anyone knows if they sound the same and only differs in features?

Claro is a believe one of the four types of EQs in Oxford but with a different graphical interface. It’s a bit sluggish, as least on my basic MacBook M1, but maybe whenever my new Mac Mini shows up it’ll be more responsive. Dynamic EQ is good but not better than TDR Nova. I think Oxford EQ and Dynamics are the two “stand outs”. The rest are good but a bit more specialized/limited use. I use Oxford EQ and Dynamics on pretty much every mix. |
