  • Secret weapon for vocals

    I was skeptical, but this EQ is magic. The 2.5k shelf is incredible. I don't know how they did it, but it's able to boost significantly without sounding harsh.
    The other bands are very sweet and musical as well. They don't allow for crazy levels of adjustment, but are great for subtle shaping and refinement.
    As everyone else says, the "Air" band is where this plugin really sets itself apart. Stick it on 40k, crank it up, and you've got this incredible sheen and presence on your vocal. It's pure magic. Also sounds great on guitars (acoustic and electric).
    My only complaint is that it seems you can only adjust everything in 0.5db increments. I would have preferred finer control, but this EQ is so great, that doesn't bother me too much.

    Alternative to lfs lufticus. This one has any special options like equal gain. Definitely a great emulation. I purchased this one only for its air band lol

  • Magic + Simple

    Very simple to use; those high bands are so intuitive and make vocals pop out and add shine to everything. So much easier to use than parametric EQs - do the surgery with them first and then shine up the track with the Maag as the big treat!
    The bands also sound astonishingly transparent, and you rarely need more than 2db unless you are in a really thick mix.

    EQ4 seems to find its way on to every track I mix. The air band is absolutely indispensable: it adds sparkle and air without a hint of harshness. The lower bands are fantastic for quickly removing mud and honk. Wouldn't mix without it. :)

    one of the best EQ's! this is my go to EQ for additive flavor. Just seems to work especially on vocals and drums. I will be adding the hardware version cash flow permitting.

    As usual, everything Cliff Maag makes is amazing! I started with an old EQ3 and have loved every product Ive bought from him since. Thanks Cliff

  • Maag Audio - EQ 4

    ★★★★★
    I had high hopes for this plugin from the beginning, and since I've bought it, it has literally smashed my hopes. Sooo much better than what I even thought. Honestly one of the best plugins I've used if not the best. Very musical, very easy to use, it does all the work for you. Just record, play back and listen while it tones your vocals or sounds. Thanks Plugin Alliance!

    EQ4 is magic: defined lows, natural mids, airy highs. I just love it on my mix buss as well. It was a typical try and immediately buy situation for me... :)
