Not Just Another EQ

I thought "do I really need another EQ?" After using one this I do! It's hard to make adjustments that sound bad, it's so smooth. What do I do with all my other eq's?

EQ Thank you!

It makes you sad when you turn this plugin off. I pair it with the Vari Mu for great at home "mastering"
It's really fun to push your sounds around with this eq, because it is never wrong, just different.

Worth every penny

I LOVE this eq its so musical and so smooth. It's basically the ultimate pultec. and that's pretty much what the hardware is supposed to be. when I get the budget for a real hardware unit I can still see myself using this in my mixes

Indispensable tool for MixBus and master.

Great for fine-tuning mixBus and shaping Bus-tracks!

Lovely

This EQ is smooth, transparent and subtle, as it should be. It is a mastering EQ. I am in love with this EQ mastering should be better with this state-of-the art device. I cannot do anything else but love it! you will too! I recommend it. As to whether it sounds similar to the hardware, I would not know, because I do not own or have ever worked on it. However, I know that this is one of the best EQs out there!

Fat!!

Mostly use it on the Master Chanel. Sounds true. I love the High Pass section. Souns really directly and clear. incredible. Worth every cent.

It's the only one

I tried to save some money on an unnamed company's Massive plugin, and it's good -- but it's not this. UA captures the sound of outboard gear really well.

A true sound candy

The closest emulation of Manley's massive passive that I've tried. I use it for both mastering and individual tracks

the sound is deep but not so warm. Feel like real thing :)

Sounds great but GUI is too tiny

No Doubt: It‘s a great eq, but please make the GUI scalable - it‘s visually just a pain to work with this tiny display…

Amazing

Wish i had it before. This is now permanently on my master.
Just insanely good.

Old but great

This silky top end is something.
Wish UA update GUI and put this in the Spark!

sounds like iron

I have a feeling that I bought a piece of iron that gave sound to my songs, there is no difference, oh my God, in my studio it will sound amazingly

Wonderful eq

It really glues the whole track together on the mix bus, however I use it on individual vocal tracks as well and I really like how it sounds. It's very easy to target certain ferquency's with the help of the Massive Passive. I love it.
