In practice, Waves PuigTec EQs earns its place when you save a few reliable presets and compare it against a simpler stock tool. If the stock tool wins on a given source, skip the specialty insert and keep the session light.
Used thoughtfully, Waves PuigTec EQs becomes a repeat insert rather than a demo-shelf curiosity: save a few go-to presets, A/B against a simpler stock tool, and only keep it when it clearly improves the source. Always re-check the official product page for current pricing, format support, and system requirements before you buy or renew.
