Waves' V-EQ4 is a characterful 4-band EQ that imbues your tracks with clarity, sheen, warmth, and punch. Waves painstakingly modeled the 1081 EQ, and has nailed its sound and behavior, complete with detailed high-frequency boosts plus highpass and lowpass filters.

I'm glad I was able to get this one on sale for 29.00, and sweet water always has the waves updates to me what a benefit. The V-eq4 is awesome for mid range vocals instruments whatever really. I also have the V-comp and waiting 4 the V-eq3 next to go on sale. But The V-eq4 really does put a kind of up front feeling to your sound vocal etc. Thanxxx Sweetwater Keep The Great Pluig Ins Coming!!! :)

Since the early days of DAW software, Waves has been a dominating force in music and audio production. For those of us here at Sweetwater who've been recording since the industry switched over to computer-based studios, it's impossible to imagine sessions without L series Ultramaximizers, MaxxBass, and other staples. Since then, we've been impressed every time Waves has brought top producers such as Jack Joseph Puig and Chris Lord-Alge to Sweetwater to show off their next cutting-edge creations, and Waves is constantly adding new and innovative plug-ins to their catalog. And with cool new gear such as their SoundGrid series, Sweetwater engineers have discovered just how easy it is to use Waves plug-ins live.
