Nothing to say.
It's just a plug-in...
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Same thing as above
OVERALL OPINION
Epure is the ultimate VST EQ plug-in, it's comparable to the best analog devices.
I compared it with other renowned plug-ins and I quickly noticed the weaknesses of its competitors: SONNOX Oxford EQ sounds 'metallic' and 'narrow' regardless of the EQ mode you chose (parameter type).
WAVES SSL seems less accurate, less precise...
In a standalone listening test the Epure sounds very transparent, the processing is very musical and effective.
Within a mix it becomes even clearer!
In the beginning I didn't like the GUI but now it seems very practical and clear (even though it's nothing new compared to Sonnox: the color combination is different but it's the same philosophy: variable scale depending on the gain level of each band, EQ curve depiction, etc.).
The real difference is the SOUND! It's really impressive...
But it has a price! You have to make up your mind, either you have 10 cheap and useless EQs or only one amazing EQ that makes everything perfect... It's up to you!
