Match to

Pick what Match EQ should target. Original = no matching (chain still runs). Reference 1/2/3 = drop your reference tracks (1-3 — averaged when more than one). Genres = release-style presets (also set the loudness target).

Release target

A loudness goal to aim near — a dB or two off is normal, and platforms simply turn tracks up or down to match. Not a pass/fail limit. Not affiliated with these platforms; targets are publicly documented.

Simulate on

Near Field Monitors (8″) — Flat 8-inch nearfield reference — honest low end, no coloring.

A rough approximation of a typical device — every real device differs. A sanity check, not a measurement, and never baked into the download.

Tools add to chain when your material needs them

Match EQ

PREVIEW

Match EQ on Original — no matching active

Max bands 6

Intensity 100%

Match EQ is on Original — no matching active.
Pick a Reference or Genre in the Match to row above. Match EQ will analyze the difference between your source and the target, then propose Surgical EQ bands to close the gap.

Tilt EQ

SINGLE-CONTROL TONAL SLOPE

PIVOT ≈ 1 kHz · LOW-SHELF · HIGH-SHELF CASCADE

Tilt

0 dB

Single-control tonal slope, pivot ≈ 1 kHz. Negative = warmer (more low end). Positive = brighter (more air). Small moves go a long way.
