Thanks everyone for your input about EQ plugins. I've followed up on all su=
ggestions as follows:
> I use SEQ2 From Neugen audio for the EQ part,
Hi Mike
I just tried the trial of SEQ2. It's $119 so I would like to be sure it wor=
ks well. It seemed more controllable than the Apple one and so should be go=
od for me. However, I had a problem. I used it to EQ the track, then flatte=
ned the layer (that's how it works in Wave Editor), and then saved the trac=
k (with a few more steps in between such as dither and so on). When I sent =
it to a friend he noticed that at 2 points in the track there were silences=
, lasting less than 0.03 seconds which give a very annoying click. This evi=
dently occurred during editing (they are not in the original recording). Do=
you think that could have been due to the SEQ2? Otherwise it is a strange =
coincidence as it has never happened before that I have noticed, although, =
it could have been due to Wave Editor in one of the other editing steps. I =
would not like to use SEQ2 if it may introduce random errors like that.

Hi Rob
They seem to have hundreds! I would really like to go by personal recommend=
ations though, so I know there should not be any troubles. Any suggestions?
I searched their site and this one was recommended, "ddmf IIEQ pro". I thou=
ght the curves seem like they cannot be made very steep, for example the cu=
rve for the high pass filter shows that if you want -20db at 20Hz, it start=
s the curve going down at over 200Hz. Even the notch filter for the same st=
arts at just below 200Hz. Is that considered steep enough? SEQ2 at least wa=
s able to make a far steeper curve. Plus, it makes a worrying thump sound t=
hrough my speakers when turning on a filter.
As for the LADSPA EQ plugs, I am hoping to stay in one application if possi=
ble (Wave Editor, with which I assume they will not work).
I tried Blue Cat triple EQ, but it doesn't seem to load into Wave Editor. W=
aves Renaissance EQ is $200 which I am hoping to not have to spend. Trackpl=
ug I am investigating now.

I searched. Was it apulSoft apEQ ?

US$74.88. Seems to be good. You can also zap really narrow sections of freq=
uency - they call it "band reject". I expect that can be useful. Does anyon=
e have opinions of this plugin? Perhaps it is "the one".
Thanks everyone
Justin
