Hi! First of all I have to say, that I absolutely love your videos. Your focus on modern electronic music makes your channel outstanding in my opinion :) May I ask you how you combine the Maag with the Bettermaker Passive EQ? I already have the Maag and think about buying the Bettermaker. Thanks and keeping up that great work!
Great hearing so! Absolutely. So they’re really two different EQ’s. The Maag is used in M/S here through the SPL Gemini, tone wise it’s great for adding sub and top end. The PEQ is a clean pulteq type of EQ, so it’s fantastic for tightening up the low end, and the top end lift sounds outstanding.
I've seen this unit in countless videos, and I never understood what made it good, especially for mastering. I thought in mastering you want ultimate precision, and with only 3-4 usable bells at fixed freqs, I thought this was some kind of inside joke LOL. But now I see that those bells are VERY broad, and affect the whole signal, now it seems very useful especially in mid-side processing. I'd love to see one of your videos where you walk us through your whole chain A-Z and the philosophy of your choices. Keep up the good work, I find your videos very informative and I love your music selection :)
You’re absolutely right! The sub and air bands, especially, are outstanding. If I need to do something super precise, I’ll use another EQ. Great idea on the chain walkthrough!
Great review, thank you. I am trying to decide between the Maag EQ4M or getting a second EQ4 500. I am learning about 'headroom' and understand that the EQ4M has more headroom (29db) than the EQ4 (25db). I don't quite understand headroom enough yet to know whether the 25db is considered good or sufficient. I wondered whether this is what you were referring to at the start of the walkthrough. Thanks in advance.

I would go for the 500 if you plan on mostly using it on mono sources, and choose the EQ4M if you are looking to use it on the master.
@@thismixissick That is a good suggestion. I think I will add the EQ4M for mastering ;)
Hi, thank you for your video.Can I use eq4M with SSL fusion’s insert mode?
Absolutely! Even better, you can hold the insert button on the Fusion and use the EQ4M in mid/side!
Cool lift !
Hi now with the LAAL , you stop using the better maker Mastering Limiter ? or not. thanks
