I just bought the package yesterday. I'm not convinced that Eqium "sounds" any better than Logics Channel EQ, in fact, the biggest reason I bought the package was for the Firium, which I'm told will make a huge difference in mixing and mastering because of it's Lnear Phase model. So far, though I've spent most of my time with eqium. I do think it's way better in terms of adaptability..(you can use as many bands/types of filters as you like. It also makes complete sense to me. I spent about an hour reading the manual, and I'm 90% comfortable with how to use it. I'm very happy I made the purchase. There's also one more reason... I've been using Logic for about 8 years.. I'm not too terribly sure what the future will bring with Stevie running the show. Might be nothing but great things for Logic users, or it may end up being not so great. Who's to know for sure? I just know that I don't like the idea of total platform dependence, so any time I can find a great tool that isn't just Apple, I feel a little safer! Anyway, after cleaning some house today, I plan to finish going thru the Firium manual and playing around with it. I'll let the group know what I really think then. Stefan
