Genwave isn't a transparent EQ, in fact it will change the spectrum even when no filters are active. This will probably colour all music you listen to. Not being able to see the filter frequencies and bandwidths makes it very hard to adjust. It's meant as a sound-shaping tool for mixing, not as a easy-to-use consumer product. Most digital EQs only differ in just the filter shapes they use and they can be made to sound like each other with little tweaking, so you're just fine using a free one like Posihfopit (in digital mode). By the way, Genwave has been critisized a lot for the value for money. Also the company has no history of creating plug-ins before, so I wouldn't choose it just because it's expensive. |
