10 EQ Plugins Loved By The Pros

November 2, 2015November 2, 2015 admin

We really like the stock EQ plugins that come with Pro Tools, as well as those in Izotope Ozone 6 (especially the dynamic EQ pictured below).

Here are some other excellent choices some well known mixers use…

What folks are saying

Adam Matza is a joy to work with. Magic Ears Mastering is the perfect name for his business, as he really does have magic ears. I’m so grateful to have found him and look forward to working with him for a long time to come.

Alice DiMiceleSinger/songwriter/producerAshland, OR

Magic ears with magic gear! Adam’s exceptional musicality, meticulous attention to detail and impressive collection of analog mastering gear, make him my top choice for mastering any style of music. He’s dedicated to getting it just right and consistently delivers outstanding results. Highly recommended!

To get comparable mastering quality to Adam’s masters you would normally have to spend a couple hundred dollars on one song. His process ensures that the very best elements of a mix are revealed, the final product is left with remarkable tonal balance and is highly pleasing to the ears. His commitment to making sure his clients are happy with the end result is unparalleled. It’s certainly the best value that I’m aware of in terms of mastering. Highly recommended!

The best in the business.

I’m not gonna make a list of all the improvements he brought to the track; I will let you be the judge of that. But they are significant and efficient. To summarize, let’s say that he succeeded where I failed, especially where there was a lot of middle frequencies. He managed to suppress the resonances after the breaks, to keep the voice of Matthew McConaughey much clearer than I did, and lots of others subtle improvements that make this version a lot better. I encourage you to contact him for your own work.

Hey there! Now that is damn cool result. The word that first came to my mind was smooth — the piece sounds smoother! And you actually got the loud middle part exactly as what I was trying to achieve; a full, heavy-duty contrast to the more quiet bits. Well done, especially considering the headroom limitation!

Working with Magic Ears Mastering has made it possible to not only meet all my deadlines, but also with a quality and reliability that always exceeds my expectations. Truly a blessing in the process of releasing my music!

Andy CasadGuitarist/composerJacksonville, OR

I have had a few experiences with different mastering engineers, but my experience with Adam was the best.

He really separates himself by asking questions and trying to get inside the mind of the songwriter. It’s abundantly clear throughout the process that he cares a lot about taking your music as far as it possibly can go.

Once we were done, Adam was available for consultancy and general knowledge share. Adam is a cool and talented guy who was reliable, professional, and compassionate throughout my time working with him; he has earned my highest recommendation.

I don’t know where to begin to say “Thank you” to Adam at Magic Ears Mastering.

Adam took great personal care and interest while mastering The Cravens latest release, “The Dark Side Of Love,” which will be out on August 2nd, 2019.

Great detail and concern was taken in order to find out exactly what the band was looking for: Phone conversations, step by step texts discussing the process and pros / cons of everything concerning frequencies and the entire mastering process. I could tell instantly that Adam is a pro and loves what he does. We could hear it in the final product. No disappointments here. Adam took his time…not a rush job, like other mastering services used in the past. And very reasonably priced. Adam is top notch. Highly recommended by The Cravens!

John StorchThe CravensWest Palm Beach, FL

I don’t know how you pulled that off without being able to alter the mix itself. The hard part about mixing the piece was keeping the various parts from getting buried. But you’ve managed to bring each of them out and make them articulate and clear, despite my liberal use of distortion. You’ve enhanced the essence of the piece. Excellent work.
