P440 Sweet Spot EQ
Overview
P440 Sweet Spot Mastering Equalizer audio plugin.
You have very likely heard words similar to the following uttered many times about mastering: “it makes the music come to life” or “it is the final polish that transitions into something breathtaking” or “It is like… magic!”. The wizardry lies in the hands of the practitioner of course, but surely, as all wizards wield an unassuming yet infinitely powerful device that is a conduit between their mystical knowledge and the physical world, so does the mastering engineer. To the wizard, it is the magic wand and to the mastering engineer, it is the equalizer.
Forget everything you have been taught about “High Passing” frequencies below 30Hz, and welcome to Sweet Tremor boosting infrasonic frequencies! Attenuate frequencies and you end up with a punchier and open sound! Boost frequencies and end up with sweet cotton candy all over your ears! Scream in horror when you check in Plugin Doctor the low shelf at 200 Hz or the high shelf at 2 kHz with a “stairway to heaven” graph, but then melt in your chair when you listen to it- like candy on a hot summer day. Nothing makes sense …visually but your ears tell you otherwise.
P440 Sweet Spot EQ will let you rethink what an audio equalizer can do. P440… your mystical magic wand.

Lunar Lander is INCREDIBLE! Realistic BBD Delay behavior.

Extremely lush melodic plate reverb emulation. I use it when I want to add character to a sound.

Still coming to terms with the potential of this plug in. Currently included in my goto list of EQs and continues to appear on projects. Well done PM.
Does what it says! Lovely for mastering or bus treatment.
I bought it in the initial period and I must admit that I had to reset my ear and spend some time on several aspects before I fully understood how it worked.
In the end, I think it is an absolutely outstanding and rather unique mastering plugin.
It is difficult for me to explain what it does that is unique but it is like being massaged by a great physiotherapist…! You think you are relaxed but instead, hidden tensions are resolved by the good professional. This is what P440 does to the sound, in my opinion.
I do apologise for the comparison, but I really cannot find any other more appropriate words.
This is an EQ that you need to spend some time with. You get wonderful blends of color using TX, Tremor, Bias, TIBO, Soul, O2, HW, MOD, and the shelves. There are a lot of flavors to explore and it’s worth it.
I am reviewing this as a beginner who produces with ITB, not a professional.
I can’t say it well, but my first impression is that the p440 has made my music sound like a stew that has been simmering well over several days.
It is pleasant to read the manual and explore the sound by moving the knobs and listening to the changes in the sound, as if my senses are being expanded in a more subtle way. It is a great learning experience.
I got so absorbed in touching the knobs during the demo that the day flew by and I decided to purchase the product. There are so many parameters that I didn’t know what to expect. I don’t think I will ever be able to understand everything about this EQ, but it is fun just to play with it. I lose track of time.
There is no such thing as an analyzer to visually display the changes in the sound, but I am not an engineer, so it did not bother me, and on the contrary, I felt I was able to pay attention to the changes in the sound.
I don’t know if this EQ will be liked by professionals who have to produce a lot in a limited amount of time while maintaining a certain level of quality.
I think it works well with orchestral instrumental VSTs. I feel like I am able to fine tune the piano or orchestra that I have programmed into a rich sound.
I know this may be a luxury request as a beginner, but I have two requests: there is an AB compare button, but I would like to see more of them, and I would also appreciate an Undo and Redo button.
When demoing this EQ before purchasing, I would like you to try it for at least two days while reading the manual.
