when it works it's a killer...
...but it doesn't work for everything, just the nature of the hardware it emulates, but well worthwhile for that gooey mid range, if that is what you're after.

its a ...MUSTer !!
for the extra eq tweaks this is all the time in my master bus chain, i wont use it drastically, however small touches will make the big difference... only wish it wasnt so dsp demanding!

very nice eq but !
the EQ is super nice
love the curves and eq freq
the sound is to mild for my taste
but it's a great eq ! love the parallel eq
and it's great that you get Mastering version as well !

crystal clear
This EQ is an amazing crystal clear sounding tool. I love it, I mastered with the original and I can say to have it as a plugin is so great in my workflow, cause there`s only a bit of mojo missing to the analog gear. And also to use it in mixing is an advantage. The only negativ point is the DSP Power, it need`s a bit to much for using it on solo tracks. On the Bus it`s perfect.
love it

I didn't use real one but I think this is enough for me

MUST HAVE - DSP INTENSIVE THOUGH
As stated in title. You want an EQ, then you need this in your arsenal- tone great.

Great EQ!!!
The Massive Passive is an awesome eq for adding subtle or broad strokes to individual instruments or whole mixes. It has a great top end. The only issue at all is it uses a lot of dsp.

Im not a mastering engineer but this eq made my final master sound professional
Very heavy on DSP using my Apollo twin I can only run one more uad plugins in my session. With that being said I use the mastering EQ which by simply dropping it on the track made more symbols and hi-hats very crisp and clean

Love this EQ
Gives that special sheen on my master bus. Just wish the controls were a little bigger to see! Hard looking at it on a 13" laptop
All in all a great EQ

Oh yes.
First thing I did: Threw the MP on a drum sub group that was lacking a little 'life'. Instantly made the track sound much more brighter and 'in your face'. Just what was required for the track. An awesome plug. Didn't give it 5 stars due to the DSP instance hit. But other than that, another fantastic EQ emulation from UA!

Great for mastering
I have never used the hardware unit, but UAD Massive Passive sounds just great. I am using it mostly for mastering, because unfortunately it takes a lot of DSP power (this is why I gave 4 stars only), but quality has a cost. Finally I can easily boost lows without getting muddy, and boost highs without getting harsh sounds. Great plugin overall.

really great hardware reference
the MP is probably my favorite hardware unit ever, and i'm fortunate to have periodic access to one (periodic being the operative word). does this plug replace it? no, but it's close. if you take it just as an eq plug without direct comparison to the hardware it's wonderful, if a bit cpu hungry, but given that UA did a great job modeling the way the units curves behave and interact i use it to set up busses in my mixes intending to later be bounced through the hardware without having to go back, tweak, and re-render so many times when things build in a band. still, even when i never get around to that (it happens) the emulation still sounds fab in a final mix

Wonderful EQ Sound
The Sound of the Manley EQ is wonderful but unfortunately it takes about 70% of my UAD Solo card and therefore need a long time to render.

M&M ;-) Manley and Mastering
Eq Manley EQ is the best I have used for mastering. its first quality is its musicality. never aggressive, always gentle and effective it allows re balancing of the spectrum of a song to another. In collaboration with a compressor and limiter can solve a lot of problems and arrive at a homogeneous and credible finish.
mastering in home studio is very delicate and the use of Manley allows us to approach this step without fear pouvu that we pass the time required.
Enjoy with Manley EQ

Manley Massive Passive Plug-In WOW
Manley Massive Passive Plug-In Is another must have. After using the hardware for a few years, I can actually say there is a true place in the digital domain for this plugin. With a very realistic sound and tone. In every mix, I almost forget it's a plugin. You have to sample it to believe it. Two thumbs up. UAD does it again. CJWartley.com

Fantastic presets
Controls are a little intimidating but the presets are fantastic. Makes the product instantly useful.
W. Mcwilson
Magnificent emulation of the hardware!
I absolutely love this on the mix bus! Best sounding emulation of the real thing to date!!

A work horse.
I have watched a number of youtube clips on some eqing of tracks and like the subtle use this plugin can be used for. Its the subtle correction I think im going to like the most from the Manley . Ive actually only used the presets on my own tracks so far and have been able to move along quickly which I think we can all appreciate.
Have a feeling its eating up a lot of cpu though but i guess it is a MASSIVE passive isnt it ?

Great eq
Quite impressed with how rich of sound you get from this plug. I can't compare to the real thing so I won't say how close it is. It has great presets for some quick tweaks. My only complaint is the high dsp usage!
