Glad you enjoy the plug! Fantastic review!

[@kelainefes]

This thing sounds so good and it's so powerful that it's effectively raising the bar for what will be considered a great plugin. The EQ curves, the saturation, the dynamic function and the transient/tone split, the M/S balance, they all sound amazing and are integrated in the UI in an intuitive and efficient way. And last but not least complete gain staging controls and the presets also come with automatic input gain staging to work as intended with one click. This can probably replace 2 or 3 plugins in an ITB mastering chain.

[@Level32Studio]

This was quickly adopted into my workflow!! Such an amazing tool!! Of course the base material is amazing!! Props to you and Bella for the path you’re paving! 💪

[@roogrey]

A superb showcase, David, thank you! I installed the trial version but this is a keeper! It has a stellar tone of course, but it's immediately rewarding as you can clearly hear what it's doing (not always the case with plugins) and it is SO user-friendly. Practice makes perfect of course, but I will enjoy the journey with this one! 👏👏👏

[@ArielNora]

This hits differently, wow. Also David, you're the ONLY one who can properly showcase these plugins, thank you!

[@aleksamrkela831]

Tone Projects never disappoints. :D It's mind-blowing how 'analog' they can get these plugins to sound, and this is a rare achievement in the software realm.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Yep. For me it’s just them, Kush, Acustica and Softube. Some of Arturia’s stuff is fantastic too. (And if I don’t add UAD someone will take it personally and have an aneurysm. 😂)

[@who_is_dis]

@@sub-jec-tiv UAD could definitely do with trying to get their plugins closer. Many of them sound very close, but there's some that could do with improvement. Like the 1073 sounds good, but could be a lot closer than it is. The newer 1084, albeit different, sounds noticeably more analog to me, especially on vocals.

[@Rhuggins]

@@sub-jec-tivArturia is incredible, truly

[@bighousemusic628]

Acoustica is the goat followed by nam

[@ArtardiDebernuro]

Tone projects and acustica are the best. This Michelangelo is a masterpiece but Acustica plugins are kind of IR impulse. Sound 3D the same as analogue. Just a little bit tricky to work with them and very CPU intensive.

[@davidpereira4455]

Your take on it is also impressive. The way you tackle it is amazing 👍 good job

[@VersatileLifestyle1]

This is one of the best EQ plunging I ever used. Will try and buy it. So easy to use.

[@wiwmusic1]

I had this one on my buy list and was wondering why you hadn’t yet made a video about it! Glad you did David. I love straight forward powerful plugins and this one is a must buy!

[@patrickalphenaar]

Yea this EQ after owning a License is my number one plugin already. Its so freaking musical and to my Ears the first Plugin that is capable of getting a more 3D sound like Hardware can do. Ofcourse i never heard the hardware unit but man! This one is absolutely Beast! Great vid David and thanks!

[@alsoulmusic]

Bought this right away. Simply amazing!

[@trashunicorn2308]

You make it looks so effortless, but this plugin is incredible

[@misery4515]

wow. I have the hardware and they nailed it. super impressed with the added functionality, absolutely gonna pick this one up

[@MalthusRig]

Maaan you are directly responsible for me buying so many plugins at the point. Haven't regretted any of them either

[@mixbustv]

You'll love this one probably the most!

[@eddyvilar]

Watching you smirk during each eq move said it all 😊 Amazing product!!!

[@bakerlefdaoui6801]

Incredible ! Mastering in the box makes more and more sense when you see this EQ/Mojo box, the Unissum compressor and the Weiss Suite by Softube. All we need is a varimu compressor from Tone Projects to complete the arsenal. This is a blessing for engineers who are starting out, they can focus on buying the best monitoring system and get Great results with these tools !

[@rarianfields]

Unisum has vari-mu tho, no?

[@bakerlefdaoui6801]

It has the compression curve and behavior of a vari-mu, but not the tube saturation associated with it. It is smooth but clean.@@rarianfields

[@bakerlefdaoui6801]

@@rarianfields It has the compression curve of a vari-mu, but not the saturation structure. It remains very clean even in that mode.

[@angelocherymusic]

The low end sounds so unique. What a wonderful color.

[@LesVegasMusic]

This thing sounds ridiculously beautiful! I'd buy it for the Aggression knob alone! The rest of the EQ sounds like nothing else.

[@joezazasin7]

oh even dynamic processing 🔥 . It's literally enhancing the entire sonic of what ever goes through. Very Powerful tool for adding rich color spectrums to frequencies in master and sound design. Definitely pick this up!

[@necroticpoison]

This sht is insane, mind bogglingly good. And through KZbin degradation. Can't imagine how good it sounds on actual records and while doing the work 🔥

[@lalocura1828]

Such a smooth tube sound

[@BrianSladek]

I have tried many plugins and Tone Projects library blew me away. They sound the most analog and I own a good amount of analog gear. I love Salt by Acoustica audio I bought recently too after seeing your video. Digital tools are getting better and that’s exciting to see this. I recommend Leapwing Audio too if you don’t already own some of their items. Super great effective tools

[@Cefshah]

I view this plugin as an... 'intuitively adjustable character control'. Definitely something to operate with your ears/emotions.

[@RobertCow]

A superb plugin surely. The one that has truly impressed me in digital domain.

[@agondistortion]

All Tone Project products are crazy good i haven't tried this one but rest of em are always on my mastering chain, I would like to see more videos mixing and less talking , there are no words that can substitute a performance

[@mixbustv]

I have review videos for each and every one already

[@claudius3124]

💥💥Wow! I see why this thing is called Michelangelo : you can sculpt sound, paint frequencies, and more, and in a dynamic way too! Easily the most interesting plugin I've seen (and heard) for years! Gotta get it now Shit! 🤣And thanks David : you're the best at demonstrating all the possibilities of both hardware and plugins. Have a great day! ☀☀

[@mixbustv]

Indeed one of the best we've seen so far! Thank you

[@antcall6779]

Wow! Amazing! Great as always David 🤘

[@jjones7837]

This thing sound amazing. Workflow looks fun as well. Will check it, thx man.

[@michelrostaing2729]

hi David, i'm using it now for 10 Days with the demo and the Low end ! you are right is impressive, this Eq can t sound bad, it s never harsh, always sounding good even with all the pots to 0 . I will buy it at the end of the Demo. I did visit kush website yesterday and they release the Q632 EQ and if michelangelo is an amazing colored eq, Q632 is certainly the best clean and transparent eq, it supposed to sound like 9000 $ mastering Eq and the sound is amazingly Clear i would really like you to check it and review it... thanks for your youtube channel with the best Pro Audio plug ins and hardware reviews for sure... We need you...

Mixbus is legendary crazy advanced always

[@audiokemestry]

Such a fantastic plugin. the only feature i think would be useful is some solo buttons (at least for the two additional dynamic EQ bands) so you can really dial them in for problem areas

[@post-man23]

You can hold Shift to solo the band pre processing. Note that the solo'ed signal is a simplified approximation of the actual band curve. I took that line from the manual.

[@audiokemestry]

@@post-man23 awesome. thanks for the note!! just tried and it works great.

[@zanza_the_rewolverine]

Amazing sound eq David! 🔥off topic, Tone Project Basslane Pro or Leapwing Audio stage one 2 ?

[@mixbustv]

Nothing does what Basslane can do really, especially if you have to fix problems, Leap is more an enhancing tool. Both great, I wouldn't call them interchangeable

[@LucasMichalski]

David, since you're big fan of Dreamer 1976 multiband saturation unit (on synths for example), can Michaelangelo EQ replace Drawmer (with no EQ engaged just saturation triode/pentode knobs and particular bands engaged/disangaged)? What do you think? Can you make a video when you compare saturation of Drawmer and Michaelangelo EQ? Much appreciated. Thanks

[@AVBouncypanda]

Hey David. Great review of this amazing plugin. Have you looked into Acustica Audio's new plugin Pumpkin Pro? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Keep up the great work brother!

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Hi David, Have you spent any time with the hardware? Any thoughts?

[@mixbustv]

Briefly and not actual work, just testing and it's a great unit. The extra functions of the plugin tho widen its usability to another level for sure

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Thanks…I’m fortunate enough to to be considering buying a real one…considering it’s a designed for mastering. What would you advice? Plug-in or real deal@@mixbustv

[@mixbustv]

Mh.. I think the hardware is great machine, yet I'd still want to have the plugin for the dyn eq and the extras. If you do get the hw really think how you're gonna use it because there are several options, for mastering I'd want switches first of all and MAYBE the 1/3 range mod but I'd prefer if it was 1/2 instead of 1/3 because it might be too subtle.

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

@@mixbustv good points…for me the air band and aggression knob are what I like the most. The saturation on this unit is really pretty compelling in the tests I’ve heard…Getting a good crest, filling in those gaps in terms of dynamics and adding the beef. The air band is sweet. Detented and full range is what I’d want…but I’m torn of tube vs SS. I have lots of tube gear already. Soma, and a few of Vari-mu comps. Don’t know.

[@TigroGumi]

This is another jump for plugin quality. Maybe plugins will do it one day. Maybe then only being beaten by personally modded analogue. Digital has done it well enough that hybrid has become a more common studio setup than full analogue.
