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

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!

Magic Ears has been wonderful for my music! Adam was a pleasure to work with and his attention to detail is impeccable. I’ve brought two albums worth of material to him and the results blew me away. I would recommend Magic Ears Mastering to anyone looking to truly realize their sonic potential.

I had high expectations and you blew them out of the water. I’ve worked with other mastering companies in the past and was always disheartened by the results, but this is genuinely impressive. I’m extremely pleased.

I can highly recommend Adam Matza and Magic Ears Mastering, having used them on all four Orange Hypothesis EPs since 2017. Working with Adam is always a pleasure and I really value our partnership. He communicates really well, is super engaged, offers helpful suggestions and options and is patient and responsive with my queries and requests. It’s a really rewarding collaborative process and the end results never fail to leave me smiling. Adam brings clarity, space and precision to the mix, at the same time somehow magically making the whole thing gel. His insights and feedback have helped me improve the quality of my mixes and I’ve learned something new every time we work together. Adam has great musical knowledge and I trust and value his instincts. In short, Magic Ears Mastering rocks! Give them a go, you won’t be disappointed.

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.

We took Adam up on his generous offer of any track mastered under five minutes for free. We sent him a bit of a dud song but he managed to make that sound cool, so we paid him to do “a proper track,” supplied him with the stems and that was so freeking awesome we are now listening to our complete full album, mixed and mastered by Adam and Magic Ears. Our vocals have never sounded so right. I mean I know she’s got a great voice, but the mix of her voice and my chaotic instrumentals is sublime. Sounding great on numerous systems. Gonna be a proud day when our Album hits the stores smile emoticon Thanks Adam! Great work!!

In my experience, it’s hard to find truly passionate mastering engineers. It’s been a pleasure working on many masters with Adam. His respect for the mixes and level of involvement with each of the tracks you send him is ridiculously refreshing. He treats each project with the same care and seriousness every time and delivers a polished and awesome sounding product.
