Sorry.
I just realized that the high attenuation was on by default on the apogee plugin.
I should have checked that.

I apologize
And I will make a new video showing how the apogee should sound

Great visual demo on the frequency affect of the functions of this EQ and brand comparison Roger!! WOW, to my ears the UAD sounded by far the best. The fat kick and crisp but smooth highs are the bomb!! Thanks! This is currently part of a UAD sale bundle that I will be purchasing asap!!

The issue on the apogee one is the high atten... It should be on 0 not on 10 (like the other plugins)

[davidkellymitchell]

The original designer understood the Fletcher-Munson curve. The human ear doesn't hear flat. It is more acute to mid frequencies in the 1khz to 5khz range making the low end and high end seem rolled off at lower volumes and the louder it gets the closer your ear hears flat response. That particular Pultec was designed to compensate for that curve.

Very solid video. Thank you. Not many quality videos like this around. And special recognition for the update on the Apogee plug-in. Top shelf job.

Noiseash Ruletec is one of the best pultec emulation plugins, would've loved to hear it against the other favourite which is the UAD

[mikemccormick]

In looking for Pultec emulations I just found this video. My favorites in this video: UAD., Waves, Softube not necessarily in that order.
Thanks for a wonderfully informative video with a great vibe and no BS!

Yo got the ATTEN SEL at 5khz and the ATTEN at - 10 on the Apogge.

[JMiliam]

Really enjoyed this video, learned a lot and thirsty for more.

[JoshSmith-xmgz]

UAD seems miles ahead of the rest. Much more open and dynamic. Sounds of analog (maybe even better)

[Il-Cane]

finally someone that do a nice comparison

[simonmadsenmusic]

If you use the UA EQP-1A version instead of the legacy version, there is an output knob to compensate for level differences.

[EvenDaTwilight]

By far theee best Comparison Showcasing Video for me. I also wish I knew the title of the track,

Your reaction towards the apogee EQ had me laughing😄😄😄

[MreenalMams]

Would have loved it if Analog Obsession was part of it

[davidcottrell]

latency within any individual plug-in is no issue...there is automatic delay compensation, so your point is moot when it comes to actual use in a real project.

[ChrisDN]

The only Pultec-style plugin I ever liked was the Analog Obsession RareSE -- because it has separate mid/side controls.
Other than that, Arturia's EQ Sitral... which isn't even a Pultec

[AutPen]

I was shocked when I heard the Apogee version. I see from the comments that you actually had full attention on the high shelf. No wonder it sounded like there was a pillow on your speakers!

[QuabmasM]

I have a good video series idea for you: using the plugin doctor vst to visually show the EQ curves of the major types of vintage eq plugins. Also you should get into voice acting because you have a very important main character cinematic sounding voice.

[Elmex_]

I think would be nice to see Overloud EQP and Black Rooster Audio's as well. Maybe compere those two to UAD and Softube ?

[SILVERTONEMIX]

Here 1 year later, was screaming out loud over the Apogee settings 😂
