The eMo Q4 Black Friday deal takes 49% off this Waves 4-band paragraphic EQ plugin, bringing it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It's an equalizer built for live performance. Waves describes it as the essential tool for live-sound EQ, with zero latency and ultra-low CPU use.
It also responds to multitouch, and the interface is sized generously so fingers can hit it accurately.
The eMo Q4 is a 4-band paragraphic EQ from Waves. You can run it as a separate plugin, or as part of the channel strip on the eMotion LV1 live mixer.
The maker says the sound is transparent. That claim covers the whole design, which is tuned for live work rather than studio sweetening.
On stage you don't get time to dig through menus. So every parameter sits on a single touch-sensitive screen, and Waves says you can fix a problem before anyone notices it.
All four filters can act as parametric, high-shelf or low-shelf. That gives you the same four bands to point at whatever the channel needs.
The outer bands carry extra tricks:
You can set it up as two independent mono EQs, or gang the two sides for stereo. The display shows the left and right channel responses at the same time.
There are three ways in. Drag directly on the display, use the controls, or type in numbers.
Multitouch is supported, which fits the touch-first layout Waves built around the eMotion LV1 mixer.
On Mac, the eMo Q4 runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX.
If your signal chain lives on an eMotion LV1, the channel strip integration means the EQ is already part of the mixer. In a DAW, load it as a normal plugin on any track or bus.
Yes. The Waves eMo Q4 Equalizer Black Friday deal is 49% off, bringing the plugin to $29.99. The deal runs until Nov 26, 2026.
