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

Ivan AndresSun City RiotMiami

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.

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

I’ve always found Adam from Magic Ears Mastering great to work with! He has a keen ear and a fine attention to detail. I trust Adam with my mixes. I know when I send him something to master, it will come back sounding just like my mix, only better.

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!

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!

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 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!

Ethan CochranPortland, OR

I finally got a listen to the mastered recording you did for me. My first thought, when the intro started, was “smooth.” My emotional response as the track progressed could best be described as joy. I hear both a fullness and presence in the track that was lacking before. I didn’t know that was lacking as I sent you the best sounding track of anything I have done. I released an album last year just to friends and family, but if all my tracks sounded this good I’d be trying to get more people to listen to it. Thank you so much. I love it!
