    Kinda weird thought, because we're talking about two fully digital plugins with zero non-linearities and completely matched curves. Which is the reason why the free, open-source plugin I posted above works just as great as any of these two EQs.

    Ahaha, this is almost the same plugin as this old and free one: https://lkjbdsp.wordpress.com/luftikus/

    They changed "640 Hz" to "650 Hz", renamed "High Boost" to "Sky Gain", added additional frequencies to the latter and removed useful knobs in the bottom.

    What's a shame! They even sound identical.

    i mean what is the chance they try it and reach the white house?

    so there is a bunch of red flags?

    want phone number?
    a stupid downloader, which needs admin rights?

    Yeah that’s what I was wondering. Since I’m not gonna install it, is this actually a Maag plugin or just Antelope’s version of the EQ4? Looks like it’s modeled after the real thing but not officially licensed or anything.

    The “Sky Band” kinda gives it away, the real Maag EQ4 has the famous Air Band, which is what makes it special. That’s probably why the PA version sounds more open up top; the Air Band boost goes way up there and adds that nice sparkle everyone talks about. Some people swear by the hardware version it emulates but the dual channel version is like 2000 bucks.

    If you’re going for that “air trick” on vocals, the PA version’s the one you want. The Antelope has a bit more low end, but the PA EQ4 nails that open, sparkly top end. I only use it on vocals anyway, kinda like the natural sparkle you get from UA converters that vocalists like but don't know why..top end sheen or whatever. If you really want more than just the air band, I will sometimes use their Magnum-K plugin. Another one that does a similar effect is the Eiosis Air EQ, but that is Slate, and so iLok also. But already witched a few years ago.

    Intrusive protection, i don't care about iLok either. If you have the Maag PA version, this thing is going to end up just hard disk space waster.

    just come up with a random phone number you put in ...
    (I am not sure why they even need any phone number? Do they want to call you?)

    There are too many steps for a simple installation. If it's not ‘Press - Install - Ready’, then I'm not interested, and I won't even tell them my dog's name.

    Slightly different the the Plugin Alliance version. More options along with previous mention sonic quality.
