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

In a seemingly endless world of in-the-box practitioners, Adam Matza at Magic Ears Mastering is the real deal. Whether it’s providing that special extra sheen you were always wanting, or giving you that punch and quality to stand out…He’s the mastering engineer of choice for me, project after project. And he should be yours, too.

Adam Matza is incredibly talented and has a gifted ear for music. He will make your songs sparkle and shine in a way that you never thought possible. He is professional. He gets the job done quickly. He is easy to work with. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend using Magic Ears Mastering for all your musical needs!

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.

Magic Ears Mastering did an excellent job mastering the latest Stephen Evans & the True Grits album, “Buzz of Bees.”  Adam Matza was pleasant and communicative to work with, as well as very diligent about getting us what we wanted with the overall sound and volume.  We will definitely work with him again.

Adam’s mastering results were a breath of fresh air. He listens to the artist and delivers what they are looking for. Nothing sounds overdone or over processed, just musical and right for the material given.

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

Magic Ears Mastering is the best! I’ve used them for many recording projects across several bands at this point and Adam always does a world class job. Adam has gone above and beyond for us and has taken pretty poor quality mixes, and cleaned them up and made them sound professional. He always strikes a great balance between volume and letting the mix breathe, without having that lousy over-compressed sound. I will be using him again (and again!) and I strongly recommend Magic Ears Mastering to anyone who wants a professional quality mix at an affordable price.

Magic Ears Mastering RULEZ! Adam Matza does an excellent job. He has great ears and rock n roll instincts.

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!

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!
