I was debating on whether to buy the Brainworkx DynaEQ V2 or Waves F6. I ended up going with the F6 due to a light wallet.
It seems like the sidechain is where Dynamic EQs really shine.
The DynaEq is just one band, while the F6 has six bands. All the bands on the F6 have sidechain capability, but I've been struggling to come up with a situation where that's needed.
I get ducking the bass to let the kick thru, ducking the guitar (or entire mix routed to an Aux) to let the vocals breath.. but this would only take up one band.
If anyone has any examples of where a track would benefit from multiple sidechain triggers, I'd love to hear it.
I would have gone with the DynaEq V2 if I had the extra $20, and because of the small amount I was short, I guess I'm trying to justify going with the F6. I'm kicking myself for letting Waves trick me with their sales countdown clock; it probably reset 4 or 5 times already!
I demoed the F6 a while back and loved it, but only had a chance to use it as a de-esser. It also is much lighter on the CPU than the TDR Nova (I have the free version) and has zero-latency.
I still haven't demoed the DynaEQ (and I'm a bit scared to try it now that I've passed up on it), but I'm just assuming that it's better, being a Brainworx plug. And if it's light on the CPU (I haven't checked), multiple instances, due to its single band, wouldn't be a problem.
Thanks.
