1/3/2023 0 Comments Sonnox oxford forum![]() ![]() This is definitley better sounding and more versatile than Digidesign EQ III, but of course will cost you much more because EQ III is free with Pro Tools and Oxford is not. The sound is clean and it won't color your tone beyond what you set it to do. I've been using the Sony Oxford EQ about a year and in that time it has become one of my favorite EQ plug-ins because of the high sound quality and the ease of use. It has always been stable with this configuration and have had no issues with it whatsoever. I've been able to run up for four or five of these at once on different tracks. I have never had any problems running this plug-in with this configuration as it has always run smoothly. I am using it in Pro Tools LE 7.4 and a Digi002R audio interface. I am running the Sony Oxford EQ on a Mac Book Pro with a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I don't have a manual for this but it was easy enough to install and figure out that I didn't need one, but can't say how thorough it is. It also has a nice graph that can be controlled to zoom in on exactly what you want to do. It has five bands and controls for gain, frequency, and Q for each. The configuration of the plug-in is easy to follow and just about as straight forward as a parametric EQ can get. The Sony Oxford EQ native was easy to install as I had no compatibility issues with my computer and setup. If you want to try something different or want something fresh.maybe a challenge, then this is a cool vst. I'm curious what else they have even though this one wasn't really my style. ![]() I haven't tried other Sonnox plugs but I want to soon. ![]() But the controls ended up giving me a headache. When I got it dialed in, it sounded good. I will say I can't knock the sound quality. Maybe I'm used to certain EQ styles but this one wasn't for me. I spent a few hours trying to get the hang of it and just couldn't. They're pretty involved, and from the get go I was a little lost to be honest. And the controls aren't like anything I've ever seen on an analog compressor. It doesn't "respond" or sound analog at all. First of all, there's nothing analog about this plugin. And just from looking at I can tell it's not going to destroy my track's quality. The Oxford EQ first of all, is very light on CPU. I was previously using a Waves plug for EQ and didn't like it much. I had been asking if he knew of a good dedicated and light EQ. Sonnox stuff is at a pretty high level of function. No problems getting mine to work in Cubase 5. ![]()
