A warm hello to all,

After a good two years of other DAW, I'm returning to Reason. I now realize how incredibly musical it is.

Now a question for you. Can you recommend the Rob Papen EQ? I'm looking for an EQ where I can lower very narrow (spike) frequencies. Bitwig's EQ+ is the only plugin I'm missing where I'm looking for an alternative.

Thanks!

RP EQ is my workhorse EQ for surgical stuff, so I would certainly recommend it. You might also take a look at Red Queen by Lab:One.

Sidenote: RP does nice discounts during Black Friday, so look out for that next week if you go that route.

GQ-7 from Synapse gets a lot of good press. Slopes as high as 96dB/oct for very sharp cuts.

My recommendation is to give each of the following a try:

For ‘surgical corrections’ I often go back to Synapse Audio’s GQ-7 for purely pragmatic reasons. But the other EQs, as mentioned above, are also great for extreme narrow band corrections.

Isn't that only on the hi-pass and low-pass filter?

I really like GQ-7, but for pure surgical stuff RP EQ is a lot more versatile tmo. I have GQ-7, but I got RP EQ because it has eight bands (and hi/low pass filters), but more importantly it has the option to hear a specific EQ-band, which GQ-7 doesn't have.

AND it can saturate per band. This EQ is great for mixing.

How do these sound to those of you who have some nice VST EQ’s? I’ve found it hard to take a close look at RE EQ’s because I’ve got a range of really good VST EQ’s. Throwing one or two of these in my subscribe bundle right now though.
