Understanding Tonal Presets

Tonal presets shape the character of your master. Here's what they do and which genres they suit best.

Tonal presets shape the character of your master. Here's what they do and which genres they suit best.

Tonal presets shape your master's character with an EQ curve and a dynamics amount. Each one adjusts the frequency balance - boosting or cutting specific ranges - and sets how much compression the engine applies to match a musical goal; the Dynamics slider scales that amount. You can preview presets in real time using the Tonal Adjustment panel in Compare, or apply them at engine level via Re-Master.

Style | What it does | Best for 🤖 Auto | AI adapts to your track | Everything - the safe bet 🌅 Warm | Boosted body (200 Hz), softened highs (8 kHz) | R&B, Soul, Jazz, Lo-Fi ✨ Bright | Presence and air boost (8 kHz), slightly leaner lows | Pop, K-Pop, Country 🔥 Punchy | Bass punch (100 Hz) and upper-mid attack (4 kHz) | Hip-Hop, Trap, EDM, Reggaeton 🌿 Natural | No additional EQ - preserves your original tonal balance | Classical, Folk, Ambient 🎬 Cinematic | Deep sub weight (60 Hz), smooth untouched highs | Film, Orchestral, Post-rock

Tip: In the Compare page, Tonal Adjustment lets you combine a preset with custom tone and bass sliders. The frequency response curve shows exactly what changes are being applied.

Key takeaway: When in doubt, use Auto. It analyzes your track and applies the right character automatically. Adjust tonality after hearing the result.
