10 EQ Plugins Loved By The Pros

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 has done two projects for me – mastering a song, and also mastering a 40 minute audio book of poetry with music. In both cases he not only provided a clean, professional finished product, but he also assisted in the creation of the work when I had questions how to record and mix things professionally. Very recommended!

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!

Long had I avoided getting my music professionally mastered. “It sounds fine,” I told myself. “Not worth it,” I thought.

But I was wrong. So, so wrong.

Adam Matza of Magic Ears Mastering brought things out in my recordings that were lost in distortion or buried within other frequencies.

Adam exhibits the highest standards of professionalism, understands what artists want and need and is extremely easy to work with.

I couldn’t be happier with the way my masters turned out, and I highly recommend him to other musicians.

I recently worked with Adam Matza at Magic Ears Mastering and had a wonderful experience.

He was very sensitive to my thoughts and wishes, responsive in a timely manner and ultimately got me the end result I was happy with. When a mastering engineer cares about the artist and the music, it makes a world of difference.

Adam has been involved with a lot of different genres as a performer and vocalist so he knows how it feels to be on the artist’s side.

Having that experience makes him an understanding and empathetic mastering engineer. I was so pleased with the results that I brought my next project to him as well. Highly recommend giving Magic Ears a try!

Thank you Adam for the great work and professional treatment.

“Knocked it out of the park, as always! Love what you did with the low end, again, as usual. The widening was a really nice touch as well, perfectly executed.”

Working with Magic Ears and Adam was an amazing experience. The deep understanding of his craft made for some awesome results.

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.

Couldn’t ask for a more professional cat to work with. He puts every ounce of himself into making your music sound as huge as it can be. His knowledge of all genres is vast and his dedication is insurmountable. I will always come back.

As a professional mixing engineer, I can always trust that Adam at Magic Ears is going to deliver a top-notch master for my clients. He works closely with me, letting me know, for example, that my kick drum is either too beefy or not beefy enough!

Ian MercelProducer/artist/mix engineerMiami

Never have I worked with a mastering engineer who made such a difference to my record. The before and after comparisons are something to laugh at, my mixes sounded weak in contrast to the final result. Every meticulous detail was given attention by Adam. I’ll be going back to Magic Ears Mastering for all my projects in the future. Couldn’t be happier with my work in the hands of Adam.
