Plugin Alliance Maag Audio EQ4 MS 1.0.0
Mäag EQ4 M is a 6-band dual channel mastering EQ that counts Chris Lord-Alge (Greenday, Madonna, U2) and Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex, Esperanza Spalding) among its many fans. Now Brainworx, the masters of analog modeling, have finally transformed this renowned hardware into the Mäag EQ MS plugin.
Mäag EQ4 M “in the box”
Brainworx worked closely with the Mäag family on the Mäag EQ4 MS, to deliver the most accurate emulation of Mäag hardware ever. This unique design provides unparalleled transparency and top end presence while maintaining the true natural sound behind the signal or mix. Get even more flexibility with two optional center frequencies and bell-characteristics in lower bands.
Harness the AIR BAND®
No Mäag EQ would be complete without an exact recreation of Mäag’s trademark AIR BAND®. This is the ‘secret sauce’ of production giants David Reitzas, Dylan Dresdow, and Dave Pensado. The AIR BAND® brings smooth air frequencies to your top end without harshness. It works great on drums and instruments, but it really shines through on vocals. You can hear its sparkle on tracks from Celine Dion, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, and countless others.
The definitive Mäag EQ emulation
Nothing sounds more like the Mäag hardware, and nothing gives you more control over Mäag’s legendary AIR BAND®. Use it across your mix, on individual tracks, busses and stems, with a new level of control only possible in the digital realm. Brainworx has also added adjustable bands, monomaker, soft clipper and patented Brainworx TMT.
Beyond the hardware
Brainworx has also expanded the controls of the original hardware, achieving accurate stereo and m/s processing without compromising its exceptional sound quality. Push undesirable frequencies out of the limelight and bring hidden treasures to the fore, without compromising the range in the center of your acoustic field. Mäag EQ4 MS gives you more control over the stereo field than any previous Mäag plugin or hardware.
