Mastering EQ P440 Sweet Spot
Description :
You’ve probably heard words like the following uttered many times about mastering:
“it makes music come alive” or “it’s the final polish that turns it into something spectacular”
or “it’s like… magic!” The magic, of course, is in the hands of the practitioner, but of course,
just as all wizards wield a humble but infinitely powerful device that acts as
a conduit between their mystical knowledge and the physical world, so does the mastering engineer.
To the wizard, it’s a magic wand; to the mastering engineer, it’s an equalizer.
Forget everything you’ve been taught about “high-pass” frequencies below 30Hz
and welcome to Sweet Tremor, the infrasonic booster! Cut frequencies
and you’ll get a sharper, more open sound! Boost frequencies and you’ll get cotton candy in all your ears!
Scream in horror when you check Plugin Doctor’s 200Hz low shelf or
2kHz high shelf with the “stairway to heaven” graph, but then melt in your seat when you listen to it –
like candy on a hot summer’s day. Nothing makes sense… visually, but your ears tell you otherwise.
The P440 Sweet Spot EQ will let you rethink what an audio equalizer can do.
The P440… your mystical magic wand.
