i have many of the plug-ins you use in your videos. rarely do i have the time to sit down and compare them. thanks for that! i love the t racks stuff, especially the EQ 1A(and the price)
i have both these plug-ins, and find myself gravitating to the t racks, just seems more natural, and less "sweep" sounding(like u wood get with a parametric eq). the only thing that sucks..is your beat is stuck in my head..haha....damn, specially the turn around on the snare!...uuuug!
You should never forget, these EQs (just like the UAD/IK/... Fairchild Comps etc.) are "specials" and supposed to sweeten sub groups/busses/master mixes - but NOT to be inserted on each and every one of 48+ tracks, "just because you can".
They were meant for polishing and livening-up when needed, not for surgically shaping every track's frequency space in the mix - your sequencer's integrated EQ does good enough a job for that.
I had an UAD card and the UAD Pultec, to me it sounds a little harsh and extremely over-responsive. "Just a little more top-end here... darn, too much. Just a little less bass... darn, too much."
The IK behaves more subtle and more "controllable" when turning those knobs, and that's what I'm after, I don't care how close-to-the-analog-original it may or may not be.
Ok, I own both T-Racks and UAD Pultec. Try listening to a mix 48+ and tell me that T-Rack's preforming at the level of UAD! Not even close! Yes UAD systems are expensive. Yes CPU's are more powerful today. I don't care! Try mixing a large 48+ session with your favorite native EQ/compressor plugs on every track!
UAD is a little smoother...
who cares!

Both VERY similar, though the T-racks sounds like it has more harmonics.
Horses for courses, both sound great but he T-racks wins based on price.

UAD wins this one. But could use either in a mix.
