These EQ adjustments have been designed to provide simple, effective, and intuitive adjustments to your mastered track. Bright/Brighter will emphasize the high end of your track and tame the bass. Neutral won't apply any additional shaping. Warm/Warmer will emphasize the low end of your track and tame the treble.

These can be selected after choosing your mastering intensity. These mastering intensities are available to all users.Īrtists who have purchased a Premium Mastering Pass have the additional option of selecting five different post-mastering equalization options: Warmer, Warm, Neutral, Bright, and Brighter.

We provide three mastering intensity levels spanning Low, Medium, and High.
