It were designed as channel EQ and Dynamics for large digital mixing desk and adapted for DAW, that's why you have for instance color coding on knobs, fixed number of bands etc. There is one quite common misunderstanding these core effects. And Paul Frindle's execution of that engineering tasks is exemplary IMO. Good IIR EQ with decramped bell curves or channel dynamics isn't possible to do much better. Precision, low distortion even during DAW automation passes, CPU efficiency and most importantly well thought workflow is what still applies.ДЇor instance their EQ and DYN plugins were engineered and done 20y ago or so, but there aren't many advancements, which can be applied there. Processing in all Sonnox plugins was always and still is top-notch quality. Sure, there are lot of newer plugins, which offers additional features, but it doesn't make Sonnox stuff outdated IMO. I'm with AM's post regarding emperor's new clothes and some users seems to be crazy to me regarding steady delivery of news.

I have to say I agree with those in the thread (and also in generally, see other forums such as the KVR) who say Sonnox is TODAY overpriced. And we end-users, who pay the bill, we have right to express our opinion - thanks for the forums such as the Gearslutz! The best plugins still cost a lot of money, but the Sonnox market positioning is wrong.

T-racks EQ 73 or 432.ДЄlso the whole market scene has changed since Sonnox pricing was 'justified' (of course, this dimension is always relative and changing): Waves plugins cost in average about 50 % what they use to 5 years ago. If I need more character/color, I use the Waves H-Eq or e.g. Why - the main reason, if I need a clean cut/boost, the Pro-Q just sounds better, its much more versatile than the Sonnox, the UI is superior etc. After I purchased the Pro-Q, I have not used my Sonnox EQ at all. DMGAudio Equilibrium and Fabfilter Pro-Q 2. It is still a good eq.Д«ut a lot has happened since - and not just new emperors without the clothes. There have been a lot of 'emperors new clothes' since, but beyond the Transaparant RTA in de backgrond of modern gui's nothing much has changed or improved IMHO.I have to say I agree with those in the thread (and also in generally, see other forums such as the KVR) who say Sonnox is TODAY overpriced.
