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

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!

Love it! Well done!! I love that it has the nice, deep low end we put in the mix…sounds nice and loud without being compressed/limited to death.

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.

Excellent job! I can’t even imagine it sounding better.

The song was mastered by Adam Matza of Magic Ears Mastering who is a miracle worker. I purposely recorded this as lo-fi as I could because I was going for an aesthetic I was calling “Lame-Fi” at the time. Later I regretted it because I liked the album so much, but it was so crappily recorded. However, Adam took the track and gave it a sheen and dynamics I never would have imagined it could ever have unless I recorded it over. Now I’m going to release the album as far and wide as a nobody like me can, and it’s mostly thanks not only to Adam’s wizardry, but his endless advice offered to my endless questions.

Adam was both excellent at his craft, and also really showed that he cared about our music, which in my experience is a decidedly unique combination. If you want to work with a kind, passionate, person with expert mastering skills, choose Adam Matza. Many many thanks!

I could best describe your mix as “precise.” You’ve got an excellent ear. Over the last 40 years, I’ve taken seven bands into a recording studio and only one other engineer has managed to give me as good a guitar sound as you did. And you did it under the worst of circumstances: with a guitar recorded on a software modeling amp! Nice job with the bass, too. Great work!

Adam is a true music fan who puts heart and taste into his mastering projects. Highly recommended and great prices!

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

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!
