Mastering EQ Chart
These frequencies are very generalised, but useful in altering the tonal balance of a mixed track.
| Perceived Effect | Frequency |
| Warmth | Boost at 200 to 600 Hz OR Cut at 3 to 7 kHz |
| Edge Effects of THD | 4 to 7 kHz |
| Sweetness | Cut at 2.5 to 8 kHz |
| Boxiness | 300 to 800 Hz |
| Nasal | Up 1/3 octave from boxiness frequencies |
| Thin | 75 to 600 Hz |
| Presence | Upper mids (2 to 8 kHz) |
