Ultra-flexible 10-band EQ

A modern classic, the Waves Q10 equalization plug-in offers a plethora of EQ options to meet every need, including ten bands of fully parametric EQ and over 200 filters in the extensive setup library. For Waves' 25th Anniversary edition of this venerable plug-in, you can choose between Legacy and Modern interfaces and take advantage of upgrades that include Proportional Q filters, selectable band control, and Double Precision 64-bit processing. Whether you need gentle shaping or surgical control, Sweetwater has your go-to plug-in: Waves' Q10.

No sound-shaping task you can't handle

With ten bands of EQ under your command, there is no sound-shaping task you can't handle. Each band has six different filter types, with complete control over gain, frequency, and Q. Unlike most multiband EQs, each Q10 band can use any filter type, so you have amazing flexibility when sculpting a signal. Q10 gives you impressively large Q values as well as large boost/cut range, letting you repair and focus sounds that conventional equalization can't touch. You can configure Q10 as two independent mono equalizers or as a precision ganged stereo EQ.

Workhorse
There are very few equalization problems that can"t be solved by Q10. It allows for quick and easy removal of chirpy resonances, mud, and other problems that can plague noisy dialog tracks. A modern classic.
Great surgical EQ!
I like this plugin when it comes to surgical needs. If i need it on my allvox chain or in the master buss, it always answers the call. Set all the Qs to 100 then start sweeping and subtracting as needed.
Music background: Mixing/Recording Engineer

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.
