Really surprised by this

This came with a bundle I bought. I had no interest in it and would not have bought it separately. Guess what? It's super useful for broad equalization. I haven't tried any surgical stuff with it but I'd bet it can do that too. I'm knocking off a star just because this is one where I wish UA wasn't so dead set on sticking to the hardware interface. It might be easier to use for some if they altered the interface. All in all I'm glad I have this plug despite not wanting it.

Can’t go wrong with Manly

i’m a blind producer and it works great with Apple‘s Voiceover screen reader. No matter what you throw at this, it will enhance the audio amazingly. This is why UA is such an amazing company. I don’t care what anyone says UA Apollo line is the way to go because not all plug-ins are native and I don’t think they will make all of them native so you will still need DSP power, regardless if you have a MacBook Pro Max, or any topline Apple base computer, also recommend the satellite OCTO thanks for another wonderful plug-in

The Manley Massive Passive EQ

What a fantastic transparent sounding EQ. Very precise. You cannot go wrong with any of the Manley products! I'm using mine on both bus and individual channels for precision EQ.

Incredible stuff

So far the best software sculpting-EQ I've ever used. Smooth saturation that definitely can be over-used, but is second to none in taming and enhancing anything when used with sound judgement. It can really make dull sounds pop nicely!

Must have

I'd only ever seen this thing (hardware version) used in mastering studios and heard the results. Now as a plugin and affordable, how lucky are we! Not just great on mix/drum busses but on individual tracks too. Unique the way it all interacts, that unusual bandwidth control. Read the hardware manual to dive deeper into trying to figure out how it all works, but you know what? It's probably better that you don't know how it works, switch off the left brain, just close your eyes, open your ears and tweak those knobs.

Sounds great as expected

The Manley® Massive Passive EQ has been one of those plugins that I have nearly purchased many times. I finally added it to my toolset and it hasn't disappointed me. Sounds great and easy to dial in great sounds.

Colorful and very musical

It is an equalizer with soft curves that is very musical and colorful. It is excellent both in mixing and mastering.

Combined with the Manley Complete Bundle, it generates spectacular results.

Definitely Massive

I love EQs, I'll admit that. I have almost every EQ that UAD offers, and this Manley plugin would definitely be among the top 3 I'd suggest. It just "does the thing"..it's fantastic and I really love having this in my arsenal of EQs.
