MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 5
I was reading about the MDW Hi-Res Parametic EQ 5, but then learned that there's no demo and it's like $600! How is this plugin compared to other EQ plugins out there that are WAY less money?
Also, I found it interesting that when listening the instances, they go up from 48 to 96hz. Is this because the plug is working more efficiently at 96? I've found this to be the case with mostly everything, which really screws me on my UAD interface, which is just a DUO. I've found all plugs to sound better and work better at 96 than 44.1 or 48. Thanks. |

Re: MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 5
Dont buy the MDW EQ from Avid, the plugin is still corrupt, bouncing a song with 1 of this plugin in the session gives me a hard pop or click in front of the bounced file.
Its been this for years now and it seems they dont care... (im on ultimate 2019-6 but it was also in previous versions of PT) I know UAD has the same plugin, but I dont know about theirs... I didnt want to spent another dollar on a plugin I already own.

I don't understand your second paragraph. Listening the instances? What? The only reason some plugins sound better at 96 KHz (if they really do) is because of oversampling inside the plugin to get away from any possible aliasing from working at 44.1/48 KHz. That oversampling inside the plugin has nothing to do with your interface. There's no reason that I know of that a plugin would work better at a higher sample rate; might sound better/different but work better? |

Auto correct.. when the instances are listed in the specs. You can run more at 96 than u can in 48. |

Re: MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 5
I don't think so - more at 96 than 48. Got a link to what you're looking at?
