i know we have waldorf d pole is that the best filter plugin of this type?
or is there other contenders?

perhaps freefilter is the dpole filter re-skinned?
i read that steinberg distributed teh dpole for waldorf
and they have a history of rebranding products to a new name
(like they did to ableton live, callinng it steinberg remix)

This plugin comes with Steinberg Mastering Edition, I think, and has nothing to do with Waldorf D-Pole. Furthermore, Elemental Audio Firium is way better IMHO.

It has nothing to do with Waldorf D-Pole, in this way, as a re-skinned version,  I mean.

beside the fact that steinberg does not do "reskins" ... i would even go so far and claim that d-pole is probably not an equalizer. :)

The FreeFilter was designed to analyse the fequency characteristics of a certain audio signal, and then to apply them to a signal of your choice.

You could therefore analyse the Master of your favorite recording and then apply it to your bounces. This, however, worked better in therory than in practise.

You can try it out by downloading the Mastering Edition (in the PlugIns section).
