One EQ to rule them all? (TB Equalizer Pro)
Toneboosters released a new Equalizer: TB Equalizer Pro. I think it's astonishing how many functions this underrated plugin developer managed to pack into one EQ - and then they even sell it at an extremely reasonable price with a free unlimited demo! Fabfilter Pro-Q 3 killer?

HI! Bugs have only 6 legs ... 🙂
They need to pay you for marketing this product
Спасибо! Очень интересно👍👍👍
IMHO, the bundle seems like a great deal for only $200. However, some sounds seem kind of generic or bland to me. I do like the vintage synth sounds. But my main issue is: I already have a huge collection of VST synths, drums and bass libraries from Kontakt and other vendors. I don't think I would be using the sounds or worse, it would never really be used while it just takes up more space in my 4TB external SSD - which is already used for various vendor libraries and VST samples.
4 minutes in and I’m already sad I didn’t discover your video before purchasing a vst
fl studio vsti were to find it
Thank You!!!
Nice melodies, scary to think what you could do with something you really love😮
I didnt watch the whole video, but does it has linear phase filter?
No it doesn't
Toneboosters stuff is absolutely top notch!! And wow, that sibilance filter seems to be working really well, that's something that every EQ plugin should have. 🤩🤩
8:04 LOL
OK, not so realistic
que tal su comportamiento en linear fase?
Ambience mode is not working on the demo version 😢
I literally used the demo to make this video??
I completely agree with you about the ability to quickly switch filter modes and the filter window covering the spectrum. I would prefer to be able to choose to move it somewhere or minimize it.
Just upgraded. Pro fits very nicely in my workflow!
It doesn't run in Reason 13. EQ 4 does but not this. I suspect a bug.
Harris Jeffrey Martinez Jennifer Miller Thomas
FabFilter's been gone missing for a while. I wonder what they're up to.
Your background vocals are fire 🔥btw!
@@claylewis1257 thanks!
My personal opinion is that it's probably better to have both EQ-4 and EQ-Pro separated because in EQ-4 you have far more control over the compression aspect of the filters where as in EQ-Pro you basically have none. EQ-Pro however does have M/S/L/R placement whereas EQ-4 does not. So I think they complement each-other pretty well, but I wouldn't upgrade my EQ-4 license to a Pro license personally.
Aside from a few early version tiny teething problems, this seems like a very capable 'EQ' tool. I was skeptical when I saw the thumbnail...but honestly, I think the thumbnail sentiment was a fair appraisal of this. And there's a world of difference between it's competitors pricing wise, so Toneboosters are really coming into this part of the market aggressively. Fair play to them, it's a crowded field! Nice melody on that tune too, very Beatles :)
The reason that the demo and license button swap places from time to time is probably to prevent people from scripting a button push. Seems fair with such a generous trial approach.
That would make sense 👌 definitely still the most generous demo out there!
Love Toneboosters! EQ4 is one of my go to EQs along with Nova GE (because it's parallel). Very nice.
Good review man! I would also miss some features from EQ4.
Great channel. Keep going. Hope you get big. Toneboosters always have great plugins at a affordable price. Barricade is still my goto limiter.
Thank you! I'm also a fan of barricade :)
Looks really amazing, thanks for sharing.
Quite an underrated developer for the quality of the plugins they produce which punches above the weight-class. I have TB EQ4 but the Proximity EQ-like Ambient and Sustain Filters makes me want to get this. Had this been another developer, they would've priced this closer or above 100. At 59 euros, this is quite a stoutly featured EQ. I wish the developer uploaded more tutorials and deep dives.
The fact that includes transient and sustain filters and ambience filters is preeeety great 🎉
now, this might be worth 59€...
the download of this plugin is a disaster.
the ambiance filter sounds really nice on those drums
Agreed!
Very surprised. So many filters in one plugin...😍
woooa, I do like tonebooster plugins. nice they add some new stuff.
Over four minutes into this video I get the impression what we can learn here is 'why use a good free plugin when you can use a paid one?" Maybe a general tendency, we prefer hunting and buying over playing? I don't understand why a crowded marketplace would be a reason to buy.
I didn't want to suggest that a crowded marketplace would have anything to do with buying. That category is meant as an explanation why I might not have installed a good free plugin, eventhough it is good. Because I might have too many (free or paid) alternatives so I tend to use others instead. And indeed I have replaced many free plugins with paid ones, I do think than can also be of value to hear for some newer producers, who are trying to figure out where the free options out there are on par with paid ones (or even better) or where they might enjoy purchasing something which might provide mote value to them than some free options. Also I was trying be transparent about "what I have installed", so in some cases even though the free software might be good, I just don't need it anymore.
awesome video!!!
Thank you!
To me the Martinic Pianet sounds as good as Arturia and Cherry Audio: NOT BAD, but still like a demo, stand-in instrument to pitch an idea for a production, definitely not the final sound. The quick answer is: it won't show in a full mix, and my response is YES IT WILL. Having said that, a few Saturn 2 tricks and you can add a lot of details. Maybe it won't sound 'more real', but it will sound grittier, more complex and better.
Korg M3R + editor is the way.
Also check Voxengo Oldskool Verb ;)

Damn it's honestly far down on my to-do list 🙉 I'll see what I can do
@@xantux but you have to do🤥
If he would get some better design in the plugins and website I think he could work on this full time. It's worth more than to be free.
All NI's Pianos (except Alicia's Keys) have pedal noise, sympathetic resonance ("overtones" is the option), half pedalling, repedalling, and silent key. Seems like you didn't explore the options or test for those.
See pinned comment ✌️

The UI is a disaster and it's emulation is not as close as folks think
Assessing software pianos just by listening without playing them seems difficult to me. What I can say is, that we should not be fooled by the fact, that The Granduer ist so cheap and maybe quite old. I would never play a concert or record tracks with Noir or Alicia Keys or pianotec (what sounds artificial especially in the high range) and many others including Keyscape Piano, VSL, Ravenscroft and so on. The only one that can pass my testing is The Grandeur. Thanks for testing so many that I have never heard of. It's time to try some of those. Update: I now have spent 40€ to get the MeldwayGrand. Too bad, it is crap. Like many others. Compared with the Grandure ridiculous. If anybody has trouble to find out, what plugin is nearest to the feel of playing a real Grand piano it could have several reasons. - you are not a pianist - you never played a big Grand Piano - you don't have a keyboard that is good enough. Most keyboards can not show you the structure of the velocity layers.
What don't you like about the Meldway Grand? My focus in the video was quite heavily on how you can adjust play feel in the different plugins, because my thinking is: if you can adjust the play feel in detail, it should be possible to get a good play feel on pretty much any controller. Of course only really realistic on fully weighted keys though. I honestly don't remember my opinions on all the pianos in detail, but I'd say that I don't have a huge preference of grandeur vs. Meldway in regards to realistic sound and play feel, but I do prefer the medlay for it's flexibility for e.g. mic positions.
@@xantux I think we pianists have just two things, it's timing and dynamic. We can't do anything after hitting the key. So dynamic truth should really fit inside the software. And of course the Masterkeyboard. The piano of my perception provides a quite bright sound appearance at the top end of the velocity scale. This is what a Steinway does really well, including a certain shimmer, like this it is lively , you can express yourself very good with this. For me this is a ver important aspect, in contrast to half pedaling for example. Very few software pianos offer his bright thing, for example Noir does not a good job under this aspect. I know that the owner of this piano (Nils Frahm) did never play the software version. Maybe if he would, he would not allow to sell it. Meldway sounds strange and the keys are far away from consistency. They all should behave the same way from 1 to 128 and from lowest to highest key. In Meldway is chaos. We can't say if the real piano was not in a good shape, or if it just the sampling process was not precise enough, or something else. Keyscape is bright in upper velocity range ,but it is only a short Yamaha and does not sound as noble and big as The Grandure. Some plugins have way too much reverb on even the closest mics. And so on... To the Grandure channelstrip I add a Studer 800 plugin from UAD, tweak the high EQ a bit, what gives it the final touch. What I need concerning different mic positions is just the closest stereo thing. Other positions don't matter. Also with recording my real grand piano.
@@angelvoicemusic hmm nice comment! I'll have to take another look at the consistency with the velocity layers in meldway... a good criteria to add to the list 🤔
Mannnnnn.
