Voxengo GlissEQ
Year after year after year, Voxengo Gliss remains the heavy-weight champion in all my work when it comes to surgical and dynamic EQing (linear-phase 8x oversampling settings). I repeatedly pit Gliss against new contenders. It always comes out on top, taking out Waves C4/C6 without breaking a sweat and has dominated every dynamic EQ that has emerged since. It just sounds better in every way, whether it's a shelf or a node or a low/high-pass filter. Plus it's more flexible. People don't realize that every node is potentially a powerful transient shaper. Also, the harmonic saturation mode is not to be underestimated. For thrills, I once opened Gliss EQs on every track of a mix with a wide saturation Q and a few tenths of a dB gain. It sounded better than all but one of the console emulations on the market at that point in time, crushing many expensive well know console knock-offs.
I cannot say enough good things about Gliss. It is a legendary classic in my view that may well be the end all be all of linear-phase EQs. And now that it is compatible with AAX, there's no excuse for everyone not to be using it.
Spasibo Aleksey! And many thanks to all the guys that are creating such wonderful products! I'm using plenty of plug-ins of many other sound effect companies, but since the time I come across the "Voxengo" ones there's no a single number/song of mine that I wouldn't want to use these outstanding plug-ins in my tracks/mixes. I'm not talking about the price, because in my opinion considering their sound, easiness of use, in comparison with other overpriced products from other sites... - they are "free". I'm impatiently waiting for your other stuff you'll come up with, I'm sure that they're going to be the same sound with a soul and as fantastic as they are now.
With a high respect I'm removing my hat before you guys.
