And as it relates to this thread... we have the talent and means to create our own MW EQ presets. :mrgreen:
Go forth, young man, and create presets, but always remember: There ARE NO rules! You can make it any way you want, if it works for you.

Wait a minute… that "if it works for you;" is that a rule? Ok, there may be a rule. "If it works, do it."

Love MW EQ. It holds its own among all the paid plugin EQs out there I've used. It is probably my second favorite EQ.

I think we're entering "chicken or egg first?" territory, or pehaps it's a Zen Koan. :lol: Image

But seriously, you're point resonates the truth.

Yup, it's powerful, versatile, usable, and sounds good. There are plenty of times when I go to other EQs for specific things they do well, but MWEQ is the default and the workhorse. I particularly love the way you can use the different filter types in combination to build subtle tone-sculpting effects.
