Equalization and Dynamic Processing

Equalization

​

• Use of Pulsar Massive Passive

• Low Shelf Cut at 120 Hz / Gain: -3.4 dB / Q: 17.6 (V1)
   

​

-Impact

This attenuation slightly reduces the low frequencies to correct an excess of energy in this range and avoid a "muddy" bass effect.

-High-Frequency Boost

A high shelf is applied in the treble, beyond 10 kHz, to add more clarity and air to the mix.

This enhances brightness and presence, improving the perception of details, especially on vocals.

-Overall Balance

The frequency response shows a moderate reduction in the lows and a slight boost in the highs, which can give the mix a clearer and more open feel.

The midrange remains relatively neutral, indicating that the goal is to preserve the balance of the mix while enhancing its transparency.

Versions Overview (Recap)

​​

The applied equalization is targeted to refine the mix, purify the low frequencies and clarify the high frequencies.

* Note: Ideally, it is advisable to upgrade the unmastered version to compare it to the mastered version. but here, my goal is to understand the contribution of mastering.
