I recently bought the NSEQ-2 and it's amazing - can really bring out subtleties without upsetting the balance. I also got the bx_digital V3 for mastering. So far very impressed, though there is SO MUCH to it! With both, I was looking for something to colour the mixes in a really interesting way. Highly recommend trying both out from Plugin Alliance I was looking for a Curve Bender kind of experience. I got what I wanted For channel strip EQ I want some colour again, and to limit my options. Cut it or crank it. API 550 / Scheps 73 etc The Kirchhoff looks ideal for anything needing more attention.

In case you are wondering why the spectrograph was show noise on the master buss when nothing was playing,. It's because a plugin(s) is leaking noise. That's how sensitive their spectrograph is. I identified 6 plugins that I own that are leaking noise, half were console emulators & one was a de-esser. I saw the same thing when I downloaded the demo & tried it. So I bought it right away. Also for it's main features too.

Skeuomorphism is totally farted at nowadays but I think when used creatively it is still useful. I love how this interface combines the FabFilter style layout with the model specific control pop up. Selecting an SSL model and then seeing the controls change to the classic console knob colors is badass. Plus it's useful if using many instances of this plugin...you can click through identify what model you're using by the knobs.

Eqalibrium with relatively good UI. But will never replace my love for DMG❤

Such an amazing sounding EQ

@Matt, the noise that you see is often from a plugin configured to create analog noise. The FFT from the Kirchoff is so sensitive that it displays everything in detail. The kirchoff is my main EQ and I have it for about 6 months, and still I find new things in this "beast". Personally I don't use the 117bit mode, I don't need that bit depth all the way till -300db, it makes no sense, it only eats CPU power. But on some materials, I use the look ahead function. Like high processed 808 drums. I use the Kirchoff because it is in my Plugin alliance suite. It came at the right time, because I was planning to buy the Fabfilter Q3.

Plugin seems amazing and as always you rock !!!

I’m a big fan of his voltage law.

Thanks Warren! FUN FACT: Filtering audio frequencies dates back at least to acoustic telegraphy and multiplexing in general. Audio electronic equipment evolved to incorporate filtering elements as consoles in radio stations began to be used for recording as much as broadcast. Early filters included basic bass and treble controls featuring fixed frequency centers, and fixed levels of cut or boost. These filters worked over broad frequency ranges. Variable equalization in audio reproduction was first used by John Volkman working at RCA in the 1920s. That system was used to equalize a motion picture theater sound playback system. How come the equalizer didn’t see the compressor coming? Because it had a quick attack! Have A Great Day Everyone!

I got this through the Plugin Alliance subscription and cannot understand how in this video he has 57 instances of this plugin. I got one instance to try it on a single channel and immediately my CPU spiked to the point I had to grab the ProQ3 instead but for those with newer and more powerful computers, I believe this is the dog's bollocks!

Definitely inspired by DMG Equilibrium and Pro Q 3 rolled into one plugin with some new features! I’ll definitely check it out, but I have all my favorite EQ’s already - both plug-ins and hardware. So let’s see.

Great review and examples. I'm still a little ambivalent about dynamic EQing..... sometimes it feels like a very nervous person constantly fiddling around.

I’ve had this EQ for about a week now and it’s already changed my whole way of doing things, for the very much better. The specific case that had me try this was high hat taming, and I was glad to see that very situation addressed on this video! Bring up the sizzle and control the growl!

Usually I use Logic OOB EQs, classic console channel plugins (mostly SSL 4000) and the TDR Nova as dynamic EQ. ProQ has always been tempting, but I have never did that step.

@@Producelikeapro Just wanted to mention, the DAW, Studio One actually added Dynamic EQ to their stock EQ plugin they call Pro EQ lol. And they also added a dedicated DeEsser plugin oddly enough, lol. This Kirchoff EQ is leading the pack I think. Only thing left is for it to react to ones thoughts and apply automatically, lol. The McDSP AE400 (AE600 is 6 band) is a really good dynamic EQ's, and the first one I ever used. Used it for deessing and and lowend control on the Buss the first time I used it. Shared its function all over the place years ago... Some FB members may remember thinking I was silly for even mentioning it, but became a thing years later lol.

if they would add a knob to add matching saturation for each of the analog modeled curves this would truly be the ultimate EQ. I'm all for them adding more hardware curves too!

"In line?" (-Matt) I feel like going so heavy with dynamic processing creates distracting pumping. I'd rather automate if need be. That said, this plugin is fantastic. so glad it's part of Plugin Alliance's mix and master bundle

Demnach befanden sich die Bestattungsanlagen grundlegend in kirchlicher Hand. Doch insbesondere im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wurde die Notwendigkeit von kommunalen Friedhofsanlagen größer, sodass entsprechende Begräbnisorte auch ohne die Verbindung zu einer Kirche entstanden.
