Effortless Sound Sculpting
The UAD Cambridge EQ makes fine-tuning sounds super easy, effortlessly crafting professional-grade audio for every recording. It's user-friendly and helps to ensure that your sounds come out exactly as you envisioned them.

its excellent,
i use it in the master bus, it is fast and effective

Great Visualization
I'm not as succinct on parametric eq's this helps me see what's going on with the frequency RTA that's built into it, and also helps visualize. I love the q knobs and gain knobs. Takes a bit of a learning curve to get the self roll offs just right. But this is one of my favorite plugins for taming, or pushing the bass in the mix.

Is it really "old news"?
Bypassed this phenomenal plug forever... my bad! It cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter, especially the LP/HP Filters. Cons: unable to resize. UA, do this update and breathe new life!

Do not compare it with the oxford eq, it`s better and very intuitive.

Can you EQ?
This eq needs an update, at the very least update the GUI, looks like my grandma programmed this thing
T. Salman
VERY OLD GUI! YAK!
AMAZING EQ.
GUI IS OLD.
NO NATIVE VERSION.C. Dente
It's an EQ
Nothing special about this EQ. The fact that it hasn't been updated by the developer since Moses wore short pants means it's obsolete.

Je dis ça je dis tout
Certes il n'a pas l'apparence des derniers plugins il fait Vieillot mais ...il fait un super boulot de correction au top à mettre sur toutes les tranches !! C'est lui qui mettra de l'ordre dans l'espace stéréo ou 5.1 etc... placement avec les panoramiques profondeur ou avance ou une remise de gain -/+, il ne pèse rien pas de ressource Shark, le pilier du centre de ma spatialisation oui c'est bien un EQ !!
D'ailleurs l'équipe UAD pourquoi ne pas lui mettre un coup de jeune niveau design avec une option d'agrandissement 75 85 95 120 % et à tous vos vieux plug-ins gratuitement bien sur sans augmentation de ressource un coup de frais façon peinture de la cuisine lavée et repeinte au printemps, ...

Favourite EQ
I have tried several dynamic EQs with more options and I sometimes find them useful when I need to do certain surgical interventions or particular M/S processing. On the other hand, the Cambridge EQ is my to-go equaliser. Rarely goes a track to the mix bus without it. I like the transparency of this EQ, which makes it excellent for both mixing and mastering. I also enjoy the limited options because this compels me to really listen in depth to the material. Other plus sides are the good choice of passband filters, A/B button, the possibility to work with numbers, knobs or both (a tip: use Ctrl+mouse on Mac to adjust Q), the vertical zoom and the overall simplicity. No distraction, just listen and process.
