When Waves released the Q10 back in the early nineties, little did we know that it would mark the beginning of a revolution that would change the face of the audio industry forever. In fact, almost twenty years on down the line, many people would find it hard to imagine not working with plugins. To celebrate the Q10's induction into the TEC Hall of Fame, let's hear from a few of our friends and find out what the Q10 means to them. |
"The Q10 changed how I create my mixes."
Jack Joseph Puig
"The Q10 sounds great on anything."
Gil Norton
"Anytime I need parametric EQ, I turn to the one and only Q10."
Val Garay
"Q10 has been my parametric EQ of choice for PA outputs from day one."
Andrew Thornton
"When I need to gently shape a sound, I still find myself going back to the original Q10."
Bryan "Froggy" Cross
"The Q10 is so simple and versatile, I can't remember the last time I didn't use it in some component of my mix"
Tim Milliken
"The Q10 is a classic and an absolute essential: 10 effective, accurate, powerful bands, leaving nothing inaccessible. And still one of the silkiest top-ends on the market today."
Thom Russo
"The Q10 is a studio powerhouse. It's the first EQ I go for when I really need to shape a high-profile element of the mix like guitars or vocals."
Mike Brylinsky
"Q10 was the first EQ plugin I ever bought, and to this day it's still the most flexible one I have".
Tom Ozanich
"Q10 is like the girlfriend that you never really got over. It always does what you want it to do and does it effortlessly."
Neil Citron
"The Q10 is what got me onto using Waves plugins. It's as simple as that".
Donal Hodgson
"The Q10 is absolutely vital to me—my first choice of notch EQs."
Guy Sigsworth
"Almost 20 years later, the Q10 is STILL relevant, STILL one of the best, STILL a plug I use every day. When was the last time you could say that about ANY other plug in?"
Ken "Pooch" Van Druten
"I use the Q10 as a default EQ for my master outputs to touchup on the fly. I actually have it built into my default templates for D-Show and in my MultiRack setups."
John Cooper
"I use the Q10 on every project, for everything from transparent contouring of a vocal to accurately tuning zones of a sound system. It's been a go-to tool for me for a long time."
Brett Dicus
"I use the Q10 to adjust PA systems. It's the only EQ with a Q-factor up to 100; I can cut out resonant frequencies sharp as a knife."
Bodo Schulte
With separate EQ curves for the left and right channels, the Q10 can save the day on overheads, piano and other uneven stereo sources."
Yoad Nevo
"The Q10 is one of the most-used EQs on my tracks. If you need to tweak the sound in a maximum way, it has to be the Q10."

The world's very first paragraphic EQ, the Q10 delivers precision equalization for mixing and mastering alike. With power and features that far surpass the capabilities of analog, the Q10 lets you create special effects and spectral modifications that range from subtle to extreme. |
