I downloaded the trial on this plugin...used it on a couple of tracks I was mastering. In my opinion this is the best mastering EQ I have ever used ( and I have used a lot ). It is smooth and detailed. It makes it hard to screw up your mix. The results I got were great along with the other mastering chain plugins. i will purchase this and I think many more audio producers and musicians should take a good look at this. With all the competition from the other plugin manufacturers, whose software sounds great....this EQ for mastering reaches upward in another progression toward that golden apple. Kiive makes great stuff!!!!
Great review man! I’ve been using it on a lot of tracks and it’s very enjoyable to use. They’ve done well, kiive definitely bringing some great offerings out!
Kiive really make prestine saturation/harmonics emulations, also the eq keeps that bass "rolling" not pumping like in many plugin eq's. This sounds like a hardware piece to my ears. It has that open/wide sound and as I mentioned, a smooth and sublime bass plus crispy highs. Thanks Kiive! ❤
I've seen this plugin aliasing even at 2x. So, oversampling up to 16x as you did is a smart (and recommended) move. On that setting, the overall sound quality of the plugin is amazing as we can hear. The filters sounds almost as if they are working in parallel. It's awesome how Kiive managed to combine stereo width with saturation with phase-related processes (including equalization) with such transparency and without phase artifacts. This ensures that we move the knobs without worring but just being aware of not only altering but also adding things. In fact, for that reason my only suggestion for this plugin would be to include a final "Amount" dial knob (like on ToneBoosters Equalizer4), which is like a mix knob, but really just increases or decreases all parameter values in a "linked" way (all together), that is not the same. I also suggest this for a better workflow, I mean, I think in this video you used the plugin just like we would in a mastering session, and the result is really spectacular; Also, we all know it's overshot and I know this is for demo purposes. But the process to get there is really worth it, even on a serious take. This final Amount dial would simplify that last adjustment decision. By the way, great demo and source track! Cheers
I personally think thats a very boring EQ. The saturation isnt really enough to make it unique, and EQs like that I already have loads. Great demo though as always!
It's a mastering EQ, it should be transparent and subtle. I'm demoing it right now and I like what I hear...but granted: do you needed if you have others, maybe not.

Thanks mate! Always enjoyed how this track turned out when I mixed it quite a few years back!
A universal mix knob that increase or decrease would be cool
Sounds awesome
It’s pretty cool!
❤❤❤
Looks like the Manley eq
Massive passive?
Sounds great mate! Which unit is this plugin based on?
Thanks! I think focusrite 315 - although Kiive might need to confirm that
Tell me please what video editing program and version you use to export music videos to youtube?

Fair enough mate! Thanks for watching
