Harrison introduces AVA Mastering EQ for AU + VST + AAX (2024)

oh boy, I just saw this now, because I was researching for the current AVA sale. I have tons of plug-ins already and I nearly gave a pass to M-EQ, too. Until I understood how easy M-EQ actually works and that V2 now has an RTA!!

The RTA made the difference from 'very nice' to 'Total Must-Have'!

So, I just bought it and what can I say: the GUI is pure bliss to work with and gave me an instant-boner! - sorry for infantile expression but I wasn't so excited about of a plugin for years (maybe since Sonnox Dynamic EQ).

It's so easy to just draw in EQ-curves I have in my head, I am blown away and it sounds great, too.

The other AVA-Plugins don't tickle me even remotely as much - but M-EQ ... this just 'is it'.

So thanks a lot for that. :D

I just got it free now - it sounds fantastic and unique to use! (And I have DMG Equalibrium, FF ProQ 3, TDR SLICK, etc)

Prefect for the last shaping step on a master.

Certainly is, shape it exactly how you want it.

I am really loving the sound or lack there of, of this still free Mastering Eq. If you don’t own already it, grab it while it is still free here: https://harrisonconsoles.com/site/free-plugin.html

Absolutely loving this already. TThe RTA ligthning is really smooth, love the flashes! Also like the scroll, find it a bit hard to use so far, but will probably get used to it. Also the way for making small adjustments with shift+click is great. Thanks for this in the manual:

"NOTE: the RTA requires considerable CPU resources and should be disabled when not in use."

Best freebie in a while! :rockout:

It's been almost a year, and i still don't understand why people don't go crazy about this EQ, probably one of the best if not the best sounding parametric EQ there is.

Yes that's a bold statement, and yes i have the ProQ3, The Sonnox Eq, tried Equilibrium and many others, the AVA Meq complete my Acustica stuff perfectly

I agree, I use it all over the place. Mainly as a surgical EQ, after a analog modeld EQ, on almost every channel & bus for corrections

Yup, this is a fantastic EQ. The perfect mix of high fidelity, zero latency!, fairly low CPU and interesting workflow (once you get used to painting frequencies).

This and the Weiss will cover digital EQ. Ive used most digital eqs and all the others sort of disappoint me in the end (in regards to clarity, impact or just sounding natural).

Hey. That's a statement. Would you say the AVA M-EQ is up quality wise with the Weiss EQ? Cheers

Nothing beats the clarity of the weiss. But this eq is really good in the high freqs for a zero latency plugin.

I thought so.
Thanks again. Cheers

Free until Jan 15th https://harrisonconsoles.lpages.co/free-plugin-pte

I don't understand, how on earth they keep giving such an amazing eq for free..

I start to like those plugins soundwise. I'm not too comfortable with the GUI yet. The legacy EQ is great.

The Mixconsole C32 interests me a lot. Everything in one tool already from the beginning without having the need to implement a preamp, a saturator or a channel strip on every channel, as usual with a DAW like Cubase or Pro tools. That concept of emulating a real console and this as your main DAW is occupying my mind for quite a while now.

If some of you uses win7 64 bit, have you been able to open this Eq in your DAW?

By a chance, do you know if this is eq is for Win10 only ?

I only can confirm that the AVA-Legacy EQ works perfectly under Win7 / Cubase / PC.

I installed it within a bundle of 5 AVA plugins, eg the MastertingEQ and the DS, so I guess they all work as the LegacyEQ.

Thank you very much nichttuntun for answering.

I have to find the reason why DAWs such as Reaper and Pro Tools crash down when I try to open AVA Mastering EQ.

Hi, i am not run Win 7 but 10. My AVA DS and ME crash Reaper on Win 10 when i want close GUI. It doesnt matter if VST2 or VST3 both crash on the same situation. I found "solution" i have to switch to UI before closing and after that plugin can be closed withou crashing Reaper.
I tried VST host wich is standalone app and AVA plugins works as expected. On mac High Sierra Reaper everything work OK to.
Harrison support wrote me that cant replicate my issue and advised me to contact Reaper Support. Wich i didnt do yet.

Thanks a lot, in my case, before the plug-in opens it makes my DAWs crash.

Maybe there is an incompatibility issue with some of the plug-in I use, next time I format my computer I will do some tests.

I compared this EQ to many other "mastering" EQs, and this sounded better for sure! (at least for this purpose of doing small dip on 160hz) I am happy.

Also, the bands perfectly matches my RME spectrum analyzer, so they are a great match!

Keep up the good work, Harrison is a serious company and I love the no BS interface! :)

Thanks @magreb!!!

I don't know whether I can trust your plugins any more as Dan Worrall has recently exposed them. :cowbell:
