I’ll often subtly tweak the Character and Transient Emphasis Amount parameters, but I’ve found that it works great as a jumping-off point. “Maximizer Starter” is my go-to to shave a few final dB off a master. Again, you can download my presets at the bottom of this article. I often use more than one limiter, but 19 times out of 20, one of the two following Maximizer presets is in the final slot or two. Two more presets I use all the time are for the Maximizer. 12k Hz: Boost for air and shimmer, cut to tame an overly bright or fatiguing top-end.5k Hz: Boost for presence or brightness, cut to reduce harshness.1.3k Hz: Boost to enhance snare drum “knock” or vocal forwardness, cut to reduce a nasal or “pinched” quality.440 Hz: Boost if things are feeling scooped or hollow, cut to reduce boxiness.220 Hz: Boost for a little added warmth, cut reduce “hootiness.”.100 Hz: Boost to add some chesty thump to kicks or weight to bass harmonics, cut to reduce crowding in the low end.55 Hz: Boost to add some real weight to a kick drum, cut to reduce rumble.When I need it though, it often ends up at 12dB/octave, somewhere between 18 and 35 Hz. HPF: I’ve left this off by default as, more often than not, a high-pass filter can be too aggressive.Here’s a quick cheat sheet on what the different frequencies tend to be good for. However, I do know that I’ll often end up wanting to make some adjustments around at least a few key frequencies, and that’s exactly what I’ve populated in this preset for you. That’s because I never know what sort of EQ a song will need without first listening to it. If you’re thinking, “Wait a minute, that looks ruler-flat!” you’re absolutely right.
