what about the virus EQ? if you boost the heights, it slightly seems to saturate them a bit, maybe it's an analogue-kind EQ as well?

I have mixed feelings about the TI eq.
Sometimes I think OMG how could I have lived without them, them some times I just run them dry into a good plug like the waves one and think 'Soooo much better now'
But really I was just commenting on how the SSL emulation kicked ass over any eq/comp vst plug at the moment.

oh, you're one lucky guy! I wanted to buy the URS 1975 comp and the N Series EQ which both together are still cheaper than the SSL bundle, but since I decided to buy an Andromeda, I don't have no money left anymore :-( the next thing I'll go for is definitely some mixing equipment, maybe an UAD?
