It's a bit difficult to think of too much to say about this EQ other than it is a solid, well-made plug-in with no foreseeable downsides. I personally used this as my go-to EQ for a few years before getting a bundle of PSP plug-ins which have replaced a lot of the Waves stuff for me. I find this EQ to be very nice and clear, without producing any harshness when you boost the upper frequencies, which can happen in cheaper EQs. I use the PSP MasterQ for most of my general work now and couldn't tell you that it is any superior performance-wise, only that I like the look and feel of working with it a bit more.

The Renaissance EQ isn't quite as point-and-click friendly and seemed somehow obtrusive in that way but I think that's more about my style than any weaknesses of the product itself. I like it on my Master bus for a bit of soft tweaking to the overall mix. If you know and understand basic EQing then you will have no problems opening this up and working with it right away.

There are plenty of helpful presets and all parameters are pretty well labeled. The layout is fine although I prefer plug-ins that aren't so dark when I have the choice.

Stability was never an issue and I can't recall ever having any issues with my program crashing or otherwise having problems with most of the Renaissance series, which is sadly not something I can say about a couple of PSP plug-ins.

I've never needed to look in the manual so I don't have any experience about whether it is helpful or not. Like I said, if you know your way around an EQ it shouldn't be a problem, but even if you don't this is fairly user friendly and you should be able to figure it out quickly. I also can't comment directly on the price, as I got it as part of a big bundle and not separately. For $150 though, which is the price I've seen for it now, I can't imagine it being my first choice of new gear when I get my paycheck.

If you're just getting going or are more into production as a hobby, I'd spend your money on something else before coming to this product. It's definitely good but not really necessary unless you're producing professional stuff on a frequent basis. As always, please, please do yourself a favor and make sure that the software that you purchase is compatable with your system and recording software when necessary. Otherwise, this software in no more difficult than any other to install or to begin using.

Well, if you really need a guide book to enlighten you to the mysteries of using EQ, such as Q and high-shelf, low-shelf, etc., then you really need to put yourself back into school. Overall, the Renaissance EQ is fairly easy to use and all of your typical options and adjustments are easily accesible. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Yet again. It is your responsibility to ensure that the software products that you purchase are all compatable with your hardware and yourself.

End of Story. The Waves REQ series are widely compatable with alot, and I mean it, ALOT, of existing programs.

You shouldn't have much trouble. Performance wise, the Renaissance series of EQ's are not huge CPU hogs. You, again, shouldn't have many problems, if at all. The Renaissance EQ has been a LONG TIME staple of Waves'. I personally have been using their slightly less pretty version of the REQ since about 1999.

OVERALL OPINION The Renaissance EQ series was essentially created to be able to model a wide variety of vintage EQ's. Some being much sought after units and some being rare units that only a few engineers were partial to.

That being said, the REQ series are extremely versatile, once you get a hands on chance with the options and possibilties of the REQ's you will see just how handy these guys can be. The Renaissance EQ's and the brethern compressor have been offered as a bundle and they have also been included in many Waves bundles. I encourage you to go ahead and buy them bundled, with whatever other plug-ins you desire, and at whatever cost you can afford. Waves' software really is the best, so bundling is always a good idea. For the most part the REQ series doesn't seem to color the sound in any depreciable or negative way.

Really, it seems as though your own adjustments play the most significant role in how the plug-in responds to incomming sounds. This is not entirely uncommon, there are many different EQ's that seem to react differently according to source information and user settings. Chalk it up to the nature of how many older 'vintage EQ's' were constructed and the technology available/used and the concept has a certain logic. Keep in mind that the REQ series, among others, were designed to mimic the performance of many sought after vintage EQ's. The Renaissance Eq's are a guaranteed solid choice. You should have these in your arsenal.
