My favorite mastering EQ just got so much better - Mäag EQ4 MS
First look at Mäag Audio's EQ4 MS plugin from Plugin Alliance. I owned the original analog Maag EQM for several years and was so pumped to see a new plugin version featuring the one missing piece from the unit... Mid/Side!

Knock VS Orion - The Battle of The Drum Bus (Plugin)
Переглядів 4 тис.День тому
Today I am taking a quick look at the new Orion plugin be Jaycen Joshua and Cradle app. This video also explores a comparison with my current favorite drum bus plugin, Knock by Decap. This demonstration is on a song I produced and an example of how these plugins sound on the main Drum Bus. Contact: pluginhoarder@gmail.com Btw, Hi! My name is Jordan Atkins-Loria and welcome to my new channel :) ...
just got this love the sound
It’s dope right?!!
Just picked this up the other day as an upgrade to my Maag EQ4 from PA. I agree, pretty darn cool.
Really opens up a mix!
Nice review. I had just downloaded this to try after watching Dan Worall's brutal (and admittedly, biased) review of KEQ vs Pro-Q3, and it looks really capable and intriguing, at half the price! I've been a long time fan of Tone Boosters, but only have used their legacy free plugs to date. That may change. Also, based on the name of your channel, it is probably a place where I'd fit in. 😂
Thanks Shane! And WELCOME :) I hope you enjoy this plug!
Glory. Gory. Gimme da. Glory. pant pant
Great overview. Sounds great!
Thanks! Love your products 🙏
This will def be in my toolkit. Thanks!
🙏 hope you enjoy!!
Orion es una estafa!
Why do you think so?
yo this channel is a gem
🙏💎
It's not free.
When did I say it was free?
@@pluginhoarder In 4 minutes, after the first demonstration, I had enough information and interest in the product to leave and go find the price myself. Saying "it's not free," is not saying you said it's free, just notifying members of the plugin collector community, what they might want to know before a whole 15 minutes is up. "This $59 EQ changed everything for me," Sherlock. 😂Don't ghost me.
Okay, I hear you. Generally when I review plugins I will put “free” in the description and title to make that point clear. I also forgot to mention both in the video and in the description that the trial for this plugin has no expiration, no noise cut outs only limits the ability to save presets. 🙏
@@pluginhoarder Thank you, that's good know, I will definitely test it out now. Sub 211
🙏🙏🙏
Knock sounds thinner, but I love both
Are you sure you don't have a preset list? I have 80 presets, plus a zero.
I’ll have to double check!
@@SteamvilleQuintet where do you see the presets?
@@pluginhoarder I have several plugins where the little preset down arrow brings up a big blank box, and this is one of them. Click the narrow blank (at the moment) box where the titles normally appear, and the list shows up. I'm in Cubase, if that matters. Hope I said this clearly, I am a natural blonde.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@pluginhoarder I'm not brilliant - I have a touch of Parkinson's, and one night I aimed to click the little down arrow you know, my hand jumped, and I clicked the title box instead, and the rest is history. For this mis-clicking thing, which I think we all do sometimes, get in a rush - I make liberal use of the SAVE function.
I like the EQ so far, but my only gripe is that there are no presets at all, which is kinda odd to see missing from a Brainworx-developed plugin (at least to my knowledge.) Love it so far on my vocals and mix bus.
there are presets
@@ozcansayin Yeah, I just now found it, but damn I hate the way they implemented it lol. In any case, thanks!
I just found them too 😂
Holy cow! This is seriously a very nice and smooth sounding plugin! Just wanted to see if anyone else is loving it and stumbled upon your channel. I installed the plugin this morning, and was blown away by how much better it made my acoustic guitars sound almost right away. I can’t say that I’ve not been satisfied with the AMEK 250, Kiive M5133 or UAD Manley Massive plugins - all of which have M/S processing - but it is so easy to dial in a good acoustic guitar sound with the Mäag. Easily my new favorite M/S EQ. Let’s see what it does on the mixbus…
One hundred perfect agreed! I was so pleasantly surprised by this one. It’s the real deal!
You got my sub! Both of your videos that I have seen have been bangers from start to finish...And that side air is gangster
Appreciate that! Side air is a great way to get a 3D mix 🙏
Thanks for this review ! really cool plugin 👌
Thanks! 🙏
Orion VS ReFire
Vs Slap
Orion is next level.
its fireeee
Wicked track, is it out?
Soon!! Thanks :)
@@pluginhoarder nice
To me Orion sits better in the mix
i'm unableton to use it but it sounds good
What DAW do you use? I’m working on making this for most of the big ones :)
@@pluginhoarder Logic
noice!
Knock for Breaks,and chopped samples. Orion for the Drum bus IMHO. Both of them are dope. Orion has that console sound like the NLS drum bus hack is built in it. Ant go,wrong with either. It is ok to like apples and Oranges.
I was watching the Orion Masterclass with Jaycen Joshua the other day and he actually uses Knock, too. His approach was like Knock for mixing and Orion for like a console type saturation.
You all jokes aside i think "LOL" is better then Orion
Thanks for this comparison. After you configured Knock and pull up Orion to check on the later part of the song at 11:44 and after Orion isn’t actively working.
Thanks for watching lloyd! Orion is on after 11:44, I had it hidden off screen unfortunately and used a screen shot for visual reference. I'll do better in the future to make sure I keep all the plugins open on screen while im recording 🙏
@@pluginhoarder ah…gotcha! That makes sense! Thanks for clarifying and again thanks for the comparison! I just got Orion because it is on sale bundled with the God Particle and wondered how it stacked up to Knock. Appreciate the time you put into this video. Keep it up!
@pluginhoarder Also, maybe add text to this video stating you’re using a pic since it was off screen to avoid comments like mine in the future?
@@TechNSoundz I'm new to youtube so I havent figured out how to do that yet, ill look into it! Thanks
@@pluginhoarder Right on! For being new your videos are great!! Your channel is going to blow up!
It appears when you were a/bing the Orion settings were different than when you tweaked it...?
The demo at 9:00 is the difference between moving with the music and not. Big difference. Kudos to the EQ, but you're clearly doing a lot of work to make it sound good. Great tool being used by a great mixer. Great video!
Thanks Mark! 🙏
Might have to grab this eq. I use Q3 but i'm pretty bored of it. This looks like a lot of tools in one. Also, that LS-208 sounds fantastic.
Try it out! The demo works endlessly, only can’t save presets. Love the LS - 208 🔥 thanks!
knock ☝🏼
The only EQ that beats the "Pro-Q3" is the "Three-Body Technology Kirchhoff-EQ". Dan Worrall has already summed it up well.
Well, I would say this does everything Pro Q 3 does except the three phase modes so about 95% in my opinion. Where as, Pro Q 3 can only do about 20% of what’s capable with this EQ. So in my opinion, this EQ def Beats Pro Q 3.
Bro that eq looks crazy, how did I get to your Chanel idk but thx bro, new sub. What are the pre sets like, I generally use ozone. Where the discount code, you plugging them big
Thanks dawg! Doesnt come with any presets unfortunately but I'm thinking of dropping a free pack
@@pluginhoarder that would be good, like check out the ozone presets and how they keep them simple, then perhaps come up with a solution similar. They also need to get this on plug in boutique it’s dope. Lmk if you create some pre sets, mostly to tackle mud but also to beef up 808, bass, and lead vocalist. Peace bro
orion is nuking any cpu that isnt a m1, m2 or m3...therefore i'm staying on knock. orion sounds good though
I hear you on that! 🙏
how about nothing of it? better.
I was waiting for this take, I agree lol! I’m not a big drum bus guy. Only about 30% of the time
Wow! I was on the fence about this EQ but now I might just go for it. It's definitely a toss up between this and the Meldaproductions EQ. Thanks for the vid. Nicely done! You've got a new subscriber.
@@mingusx3440 thanks I appreciate that!! I def recommend using the trial for this to see how you like it, it works indefinitely with no restrictions other than saving presets.
as someone who has both, i would say this one. this may be the eq to end them all lol. at least when it comes to digital eq's
this terrible beat makes it very hard to tell the difference
😕
I can’t believe you did this video 😂 . Not hating, just surprised. 🙃
Why surprised haha?
@@pluginhoarder Orion it was designed to give you a polished, large, and dynamic mix, especially with a focus on emulating high-end analog gear while knock focus is on helping producers get their drums to hit hard, punch through the mix, and sound loud and clean without distortion or unwanted artifacts.
@@pluginhoarder I get it, though. When people mention 'drums' in videos like this, the focus is often too limited to specific comparisons, which doesn’t fully represent what these plugins can actually do. For example, if you use reference tracks to gauge how your mix should sound, you’ll notice that using the 'C' option in the color section opens up the 1-3kHz range. This is great for both vocal buses and drums, and professional tracks tend to keep this range more open. Features like the 'lift' help make that group more solid, which is often referred to as making it 'stand up in the mix.' The parallel section adds depth, working similarly to wet/dry control. I could go on, but I don’t think it’s necessary. I love seeing fun videos like this in the community, but a lot of times, the deeper methods behind using these plugins don’t get the justice they deserve.
@@Dane_Riazer I hear you, my intention for this video was just a fun quick comparison of two things that are incomparable hahah, I do deeper dives in other videos though! Thanks for your input, you know your stuff 🤝
Also, I read the description of the plugin on cradles site and it mentioned this was specifically for drums, the quote is “Take your drums beyond the super analog Add power, punch and weight to your drums in seconds Saturation, compression, and harmonic tools to sculpt your drums Complex parallel routing simplified into one plug-in” this is a similar sales pitch to Knock which was where the idea came from.
ORION, BUT I LIKE BOTH..
Orion ✨️🫶✨️
you aren't the same guy that used to do videos for reason by chance are you?
I happen to be that guy! Just a bit older 😂
@@pluginhoarder what’s crazy is literally a few days ago I thought to my self, “I wonder what that guy is doing now” found my answer 😂 universe is wild
@hitplaybeats7221 damn that’s crazy!! It be like that! 🙏
I have Knock and wish they’d sell each module separately. I rarely use all at once. 😮
You can just turn all the modules you aren't using off 🤷
I asked this question a few days ago
What’s your verdict?
Orion uses far too much cpu for it to be constantly on your buss. Its using 50% of my 6 core
True, it is a CPU monster 👿
just found the channel bro, pls don't stop with these and maybe next vid could be some vocal recording/mixing vst ?
Thanks! Will def be doing some vocal processing videos in the future as well as giving away some chain presets 🙏
@@pluginhoarder can't wait my g
...looks like kirchof eq...gotta try it...😀
Try it out! I forgot to mention how awesome the trial is! No limitations other than presets
I have this, and knew it was awesome, but I had no idea it was THIS awesome. learned a lot from this vid--thank you!
Glad you learned something new about it! It's def my fav plugin of the year :)
Toneboosters is gonna take my money with this one. I binged all your videos , best music content channel for me. i subbed and liked , keep doing more.
Thank you so much! Will be making many more videos 🙏🤞
The orion version is better for me. add knock after for some slight saturation and clipping you're golden
Yeah that’s a great combo right there 😍
