This is the greatest product. Even without using the EQ settings, just running your audio through the Massive Passive makes you music and sound even better. The eq adjustments are very easy to use and are friendly to your audio. The adjustments don't in any way add it's own color to your music. So, you can radically adjust the shape and balance of your music. I am a self-taught engineer and composer and the Massive EQ has been the greatest asset in my studio. It always creates a musical result! Looking at the Massive Passive it seems to have limited controls, but after using this kickass EQ for a long time, you realize that it can do limitless adjustments to music and sound. It truly makes EQing very intuitive and spontaneous, and music making less of an effort. Unlike other eqs. Worth every penny!Great for mixing, mastering, and sound design.Wonderful, unequaled product. Very highly recommended.
