You know Leonard, it's really hard for me to stand by and see Sonalksis promoted over something I know is better. My read on this is that they're promoting a new filter topology - "state space" - that has nothing in and of itself to do with the sound of an EQ (it's strength is in balancing processing across nodes, as far as I can tell).
And what they're promoting about "Analogue characteristics" is complete and utter bullshit. And you're welcome to forward this to them should they wish to debate this.
I hate this. This kind of shitty marketting has ruined audio.

I do agree with you George with regards to the way the words 'analogue' and 'mastering' have been used and abused by soo many products out there. It's got to the point where all amatuer producers expect their mixes to sound fantastic by just using some magic mastering processor that does it all for them. Never mind that this should really be seen as post-production for the producer, people are forgetting how to produce!, prevention is always better than cure.
Same with the word 'analogue' being slapped to all these plug-ins regardless of how good they actually sound. At the end of the day that really is all that counts.
HOWEVER, that's also why i'm equally annoyed with your rather arrogant post George. I'm sorry, but your post is equally misleading too into leading people to believe that the sonalksis plugs aren't very good. I know these aren't the exact words you used but it was certainly the overall impression given.
The way you write 'I know' almost as if you don't even need to hear it to know it's not as good, because of the promotional blurge, well quite frankly that is just arrogance. The promotional text may or may not be bullshit, but the Sonalksis EQ IS a bloody good plug-in and by far the best VST plug-in eq out there that offers really good quality sound.
If you'd actually taken the time to use the Sonalksis EQ you would realise this too and alter your post. If you have indeed tried it then perhaps you could give your opinion to it's sound quality and explain your reasons behind it, at least have the decency to do that when making such forward posts.
Thank you
