Just this week I did an EQ shootout again and still NoNameEQ is at the top of the bunch that I tested, soundwise. Here's a reprint of one guy's EQ shoot-out that got me going.

The sound quality is excellent with most of these EQ's so it comes down to your preference of interface, feature set, and whether you want a clean or colored analog style EQ. The best bet is to download the whole lot and experiment to see what grabs you.

I was turned on to most of the EQ's in my previous post by folks at the reaper forum and they really hooked me up with what I think are the best available free Eq's. The other great thing about noname, electri-q (in economy mode) and IIeq is that they are light on resources while still maintaining superior audio quality. Paris does sound good but electri-Q sounds better IMO, is much more flexible and the interface is far superior. If you like the non-linear (soft distortion) aspect of the paris you really should check out electri-Q free. If you want to weed through dozens of free-Q's check this site: The list above represents the cream of the crop IMO of the free EQ's and you should find something that works for you. Nyquist sounds good but I don't like the interface. īootsy Boot EQ and nasty LF also sound promising: NWEQ also looks to be very good but I haven't tried it yet. NoName, electri-Q and IIEQ rival expensive commercial plugs IMO and reaEQ is a very nice utility EQ plug. IIEQ (another fave because its really light on resources) The interface is more fiddly than NONAME as well) (posihfopit)_Install.exe Electri-Q (same author as NONAME and similar code but this one has an analog mode which introduces some soft distortion as a coloration effect.
