DMG Audio - Equilibrium
Have you ever noticed an EQ on an older car stereo system? Some of them come with real simple presets – you can have jazz, live sound, flat, and pop. The list goes from there, but basically the creators have an idea of what they think a type of music should sound like. They also think they know what their EQ will sound like. The truth about EQ’s is that there is no controlled or recognized way of producing one. Each company who makes one uses a different method and a different philosophy when it comes to how they should be built. For this reason, no two EQ’s are every exactly alike. When we dig deeper into more complicated synths, such as the synths found on computer programs and digital audio workstations, the variety is so great that you might have trouble figuring out what is best to use. As it stands now there is no industry standard, except for hardware units, but those cannot be compared to digital programs. Some of the better digital equalizers use graphical representation to give the user and picture, where numbers simply don’t speak. These are preferable in almost all aspects since the eyes are more apt at finding flaws. http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=13126
