- Kush proudly announces q.632: an EQ plugin it didn’t design, using EQ dsp it didn’t develop.

q.632 is a gently repackaged update of the beloved Magpha EQ, an obscure and defunct plugin whose unusual phase-modeled filters earned it a reputation for smoothness and fidelity that rival what comes out of $9,000 analog mastering EQ’s.
Spotting an opportunity to revive Magpha’s lovely tech, Kush reached out to John Flynn, the mastering engineer who developed it, and secured an exclusive license both to the Magpha plugin and its underlying EQ algorithms.
q.632 is the first Kush product to leverage Magpha’s EQ dsp, adding extended gain range, an updated Preset Manager and Apple Silicon compatibility. Magpha EQ’s core dsp (and tightly phased sound) remains untouched, and will slowly become incorporated into all of Kush’s products.
TL;DR: If you want a dead simple, minimalist EQ that does zero damage to any part of your sound no matter what you do with it, q.632 is the one to get.
Always good to hear from you! ✊
says the guy who never uploads...
Greg, I know this is totally not related to the plugin and off topic, but I wanted to let you know that your MUSIC inspired me to write similar music. I'm a rather seasoned engineer (25 years mixing, still learning - from you) with a musical background (Vienna conservatory, piano) but I couldn't find my "home planet". Your music, though, made me feel at home. When I started to write music of your style I suddenly "liked" what I was doing. Composing became fun again.
Thanks for being my muse😅
Man, you are not alone😅 Sneaky's music is music of my future, i tell you.
Ladies and Gentlemen, HE IS BACK!!! Cannot wait to try this! Another absolutely beautiful piece added to the collection ✨
I'm hoping the video conveys the fact that this eq has changed my game, I'm feeling well and truly leveled-up.
@@TheHouseofKushTV There is no shed of doubt about that! I am just incredibly happy to see you back❤️
YES!!! @@TheHouseofKushTV
Hope you’re feeling better, Greg! Hang in there man. Glad to see you still doing your thing. Kush always delivers the goods!
What happened to him?
@@djentlover I believe he had severe back issues. He talks about it in another video from a few months ago.
You should consider releasing your raw drum recordings as sample packs, I'd buy those in an instant
They are pretty saucy
will buy too
Can't wait for more videos of you just talking about mixing, no matter what you're talking about I feel like I always learn something. I revisit your "use all of the compressor video" all the time just for some inspiration. Hope your recovery is going well and looking forward to more lessons from you Greg
Same here
This thing is really really good. Incredibly subtle, usable, surgical, musical. It takes out or adds exactly what you want and nothing more. Soooo smooth too. It's doing what I wish my massive passive would do. Officially a permanent fixture in the mastering chain.
Same. I just compared it to a few other EQs that used to live on my mixbus. This is much better - so bloody silky smooth in those top frequencies.
Hey Greg, we miss you man! Glad you feel better 🧡Can't wait to try out the EQ
I thought Magpha disappeared into abyss...
What a fucking surprise, my favourite blonde guy and his company brought it back.
Luv you Greg
I really love your sound ! So warm and full of life 🌻
I was driving the other day and suddenly after years I remembered your channel, so happy to see you upload!
Gregory Scott, Bruh! Glad you're feeling well enough these days! Long may it continue, sir! 🤘🏿🖖🏿
The demo music is 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Such a huge separation, silky, deep. Thanks guru and happy new year 2024!!
Been waiting for this for a long time! Thanks Kush!
Hey Kush, just want to let you know hoe much you have helped me over the years ! Always a true inspiration, you helped me fix alot of bad habits and develop good ones. I do hope to see more of your videos in the future🙏🏽
Seeing this video made my day! ❤️
I own Magpha, and am glad you somehow managed to contact John and get a response! I loved that EQ, but sadly had to eventually move on. But I learned a lot from his plug-in and his info that was on his site back in the day.
I'm certainly looking forward to grabbing this from the subscription. Still the best (and ONLY) subscription for me!
M/S capabilities? I'd also like a spectrum analyzer added to this, so that it helps it hang alongside the MH Sontec and several other mastering EQ plugins.
We need more videos please. Thanks for all you do.
Citing 🎉 always good to hear from kush
Hey, just wanted to say I'm obsessed with the AR-1 right now. I don't know if I'm "supposed" to use it on my master bus, but I do. I've cycled through many mix bus compressors in the last four years, and I could never really find one I loved. The AR-1 is doing it for me. I start with one of your "mizz bus" presets and then tweak from there. It seems to work every time.
Love your stuff Greg!
Just watched your I can’t hear 6K video and what’s always drawn me to your stuff is your music that your mix and those choices I love that heaviness beautiful sounds
Hey man, hope you’re well! Plug-in looks and sounds amazing! We all miss you and your words of wisdom 🙏
Very good. I hope you are well, G.
Nothing but quality as usual! I hope you are doing well and are remaining strong, friend.
Sounds lush on my phone (travelling atm) can’t wait to hear this in the studio!
your plugins are gem
Interesting layout. Be great to hear you talk some on it
Glad to hear from you bro
Just installed. Awesome. I can see at Kush they were too excited about sharing this with the world to stop and spend five minutes on the user interface, but maybe we can hope for some color-coding on those knobs in a future update?
I mean, yeah, that's pretty much what happened. 😛. The truth is a bit more nuanced --- namely, the original Magpha was built entirely within the Juce framework using their generic vector-based UI toolkit, so it would've taken us many months to rebuild the whole plugin in our own framework, test it, beta teams... we'll expand this eq mightily in the future, but for now we just wanted the tech out there.
In truth, I didn't originally plan to re-release a version of Magpha, I just wanted to license the alto's for use in our own products. But life, she sometimes has other plans than us!
Sounds very smooth
Missed ya ❤
Miss you brother. Take care.
Best plugins around 👌👌
I love this plugin, just as much as the rest of the suite. Great on any stereo bus.
Wish all your stuff were available as Reason Studios Rack extensions!
I had your products and thought they are magnificent!
OUTSTANDING! ❤
hope you doing better buddy. great eq!
I like the simple interface.
Sensei we need you 😢❤
best audio, best plugins, best hardware, best times, excellence... hey I listen to some sneaky music.
Guru of mixing!
HES BACK YES
We missed you
this eq is awesome 👍
king is back
I'm glad owning Kush plugins isn't illegal or I'd be a regular at the county jail.
I miss your videos so bad
I'm hoping some after hours videos... Missing those a lot.
YES
sounds silky warm :) Great track! I assume this is your magic vibes? ✨
Thank you! Yeah, this track is the foundation for one of 4 new Sneaky Little Devil songs in the works. I haven't had a studio to work in or make After Hours since April, still finishing up a total acoustic renovation, so I've been spending a lllloooottt of time at the Rhodes, deconstructing oldass muzak and library tunes and their crazy progressions and instrumentation. It's been hell and heaven at the same time, I want my studio back!
@@TheHouseofKushTV Fantastic! I know the pain. I moved to a smaller apt from a country cottage (where I had an extra room...sigh), but on the hunt for house now (as Swe economy is in shambles). Anyway, please post anything you can on your acoustic treatment builds 👍🙏 Stay healthy
UI is simple 🔥
Finally!!!!
I really like the understated gui, it let's you get straight to work. I am particularly fond of the 632Hz band. It seems to null with FF Pro Q3 in most scenarios and yet manages to sound different, although it nulls. Maybe it's magic or voodoo? Anyway, it's a great addition and gets you there very quickly.
Yeah, that normally happens with digital products...... nothing analog in plugins basically 😉
If you do a light boost or cuts you can match the curves with pro q 3 easily. However large moves have a noticeably different effect. I think under the hood they are proportional Qs like electra? At least thats what i am hearing. I only did a null test with fabfilter. No plugin doctor.
Hi Kush, can you please make a video on how you handle being scared to create a song or work on a mix in case it turns bad?
Like I took an break from music and illustration because I was getting burned out, but now I am scared of getting back into composing and singing and mixing because I am afraid I forgot how to do things like I did before my break. Or I am not as good at some aspects of the process.
How do you deal with these feelings? The frustration of wanting to create but scared of not making the level or standard of quality that you have gotten used to?
What do you suggest?
Love ur vids! ❤When I get more money, I plan on buying a stereophonic that u suggested in a long video awhile ago
he is great
This song is sick 😊
Thank you! This is what happens when you renovate your studio starting in April, and on Halloween you're still renovating it, so in the meantime you spend wwayyy too much time on the Rhodes deconstructing old muzak and library tracks... ⏳
🎉🎉🎉
Excellent Software and Hardware, you're amazing!, Thanks, I can't wait to try this one!
PD. Does somebody knows the name of the song? It's INCREDIBLE!
Thank you! This track is actually the foundation for the next Sneaky Little Devil song, _Once Upon a Lie_. We've got 4 new tunes written and... well... they're a new sound for us. Gotta keep evolving!
awee ♫
The name of the music, please? LOVE. All the best of creative healing catharsis to you, GS. It's the only way through. 💜🙏
the melody is in parts extrmeley similar to "La Petite Fille de la Mer" by Vangelis.
That's a muzak version of a Sneaky Little Devil song in the making: Once Upon a Lie. Gonna be a month or three before it drops. :-/
@@TheHouseofKushTV Beautiful! Thanks! Time ain't no thang. Value the moment, and it will come at the perfect time! (preaching to myself here as I'm overwhelmed with dozens of songs in my catalog trying to churn them out lol.)
😎👍
This plugin is working properly. And it's fantastic. Some communities don't understand this eq and they misunderstand it as wrong. dear kush please don't turn this beautiful EQ into a stupid EQ
My bf was watching this video, I heard the tune and asked for the link. Since then I keep playing for some pleasure on my ears. I have nothing to do with the plug-in (sorry) but COULD YOU PLEASE RELEASE THIS TRACK??!!?!?!??!?!
where i can listen your music?
I was wonder what happened to you? Greg what happenend to the UBK-1???? It's not on the website....
I just wish the song wouldn't end...
It's the foundation for the next Sneaky Little Devil song, so... a longer version is coming. Eventually! :-P
@@TheHouseofKushTV oh Boi, can't wait! 😁
What's the track though

Do Magpha owners get this for free or with discount?
Yes they do, we'll be reaching out shortly :-)
Does it make my music good?
12% more good. That's science!
"Doc, after this elbow surgery, will I be able to play the violin?"
- "Absolutely."
"Great, because I never could before!"
Regarding happy funtime hour donation manger, I am not getting the login code sent to my email and I tried reaching out a few times to the email support. It won't let me cancel my monthly 5 dollar donation. Please get that fixed friends, I love the products and the videos, just can't do the donations at the moment. Please and thank you. Sorry to post this here but I'm at a dead end.
So instead of demoing this Plugin I re-subscribed for the complete kush bundle for one month.But only receiving only 7 instead of 18 plugins on my Ilok of course not including the one I want to demo...... Not amused at all being busy 2 hours not getting anywhere. I had 17 plugins before from Kush in my Ilok and expected 18 because the 632 was added. Having a hand full of plugins after committing another month makes me sad. I hate being subscribed and intended to buy UBK-1, Reddi and Clariphonic (and maybe q632) but now I regret my 9,99 already for wasting my evening and time.
That's definitely not right, I'm sorry to hear about the hassle. If you write to support@thehouseofkush.com we'll get you completely sorted, nobody's spending money with us and not getting everything they paid for, not on my watch!
Greg should not be allowed to mix on his own plugins, he is already really good at mixing. We need someone who has never mixed before!!! Like a tortoise.
Or an otter.
Hardware EQs are a thing of the past
Tell that to all the busiest and best mastering engineers.
Many of the best mix engineers.
Most of of the best tracking engineers.
...and other dorks like me who are booked all year at my studio using analog EQ any time it makes sense to do so!
first time I say this about Kush plugin and I hate to say it, but the interface is uninspiring and seems hastily cobbled together.. and also super dark. you care about those with impaired vision just a bit, aye? hope the sound is worth the shortcomings.
Can't wait to try it out!
