It crashes my Mixcraft Pro 7 ...every time

Sorry to hear that. Contact Sound Radix tech support to see if they can help. I've only used this in Sonar Platinum and it works great. I haven't tried it in Mixcraft yet. When I do I will report back if there are any issues. Hope you can get it resolved. It is a fantastic EQ. Good luck.

You know, its pretty amazing what the digital realm allows people to think up and create.
I finally got a chance to look into the EQ and find it very interesting. I don't qualify for the freebie, but may consider getting that one to experiment with.
Very cool possibilities.

Hi Mark, It's definitely worth a look-see! All the best.

Well, for anyone interested, here's what I learned:

First, the Boogie version is a three band "light" version apparently produced for distribution to Focusrite customers only. From what I see you cant buy it and the free offer to Focusrite customers expired at the end of Oct.

The full version is offered at $199 and requires iLock for authorization.

No thanks........

I hear ya. I won't bother with any software that requires iLok. Luckily the free light version doesn't use it.

Y´all who you are interested in this EQ, before going nuts about having it, you may be interested in what Eric Beam has found out about digital EQ´s:
Digital EQ Fact & Myth: All Digital Parametric EQ’s are the same

As is suspected.

No argument, if there's a difference of any interest to me, its generally about how the interface and/or controls work, not the EQ function itself.

However, what intrigues me here is as shown in the demo vid, mildly boosting a primary melody note (for example) and the plug in in can be automated to follow the melody notes, for instance accenting them..... Its shown better in the vid than I can easily explain.
I can imagine some useful applications for that. Interesting and creative application.

This is gone. It was an October feature.

Seems they have a thing every month. Good to know that anyway.
Keep your eyes open every month, there might be a grain of corn there one day

This month (Nov) they have some amp simulation there. Listen to the guy in the official video, he churns out lifeless licks at the speed of light.
