EDM EQ Profile Overview
Core EQ principles for EDM mastering. Platform-specific adjustments are in each guide below.
Kick: High-pass sub below 30 Hz. Boost 60–80 Hz for kick body, cut 200–300 Hz for punch.
Sub-bass: Mono everything below 80 Hz. Boost 40–60 Hz for sub impact. Tune sub to key.
Synths: Cut 300–500 Hz ('boxiness') from pads. Boost 2–5 kHz for lead synth presence.
Stereo width: Wide stereo at 500 Hz+ for the massive club sound. Keep low-end mono.

EDM Mastering FAQ
What LUFS for EDM on Spotify?
-14 LUFS integrated with true peak -1 dBTP. EDM can be mastered aggressively to this target — 4-8 LU dynamic range is normal for dance music.
How do I keep the kick punching through on streaming?
Boost 60–80 Hz for kick body and 2–4 kHz for kick click/attack. Use a transient shaper to preserve the attack. Multiband compression keeps the sub-bass controlled while the kick punches through.
Will my EDM track lose energy on Spotify at -14 LUFS?
No — at -14 LUFS, Spotify plays every track at the same loudness. A well-mastered EDM track at -14 LUFS with preserved dynamics sounds MORE energetic than an over-limited version at -8 LUFS that gets turned down to the same level.
