Thereโ€™s something I understood very early on, almost at the beginning of my career: hearing damage is irreversible. The idea that what I love most in lifeโ€”listening to and working with musicโ€”could turn into a nightmare was unbearable...

An admirer who, after a concert, congratulated Menuhin with a "Maestro, your violin, how it sounds!", he replied, putting his ear to his Stradivarius: "Well, what you're telling me is curious, I can't hear anything!"

โ€ฆWe mastering engineers have our tools, our equipment, our instruments. And just like the musician, as we work, playing the music, we hear its echo and simultaneously feel its effect on ourselves.

Musicians generate music, sounds, notes, silences, and chords with their instruments.
Sound is born at that meeting point, the musician and their instrumentโ€ฆ

โ€ฆ. bass waves resonate most in the thorax and abdomen. It's not necessary to hear to feel these vibrations.

Every sound comes from a vibrating body, and when the wave reaches us, it makes us vibrate too. It makes us move; the physical effect of music is vibration. Acoustic vibrations are transmitted throughout the entire body; for exampleโ€ฆ.

Music is not only an auditory process but also a physiological one. Our body is a sounding board; it becomes an instrument of music. We also hear music through our bodies; it reaches us through our skin.

Music is the art of sounds.
The difference between music and a series of sounds is the causal relationship that unites them.

Simply amazing Maselec, This EQ itโ€™s so good that itโ€™s very difficult to make it sound bad. ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ Itโ€™s crazy how you can emphasize any element of a mix, in a natural and transparent way.
The best equalizer I have ever used.
