Jazz EQ Profile Overview
Core EQ principles for Jazz mastering. Platform-specific adjustments are in each guide below.
Natural sound: Minimal EQ. Jazz should sound like microphones in a room, not processed audio.
Low-end: Only apply high-pass below 30 Hz to remove rumble. Keep bass natural and full.
Air: A very subtle 12–16 kHz boost can add studio sparkle without compromising naturalness.
Transparency: Focus on transparent limiting only — any heavy processing kills jazz's authenticity.

Jazz Mastering FAQ
What LUFS for jazz on Spotify?
-14 LUFS integrated, but jazz benefits from wide dynamic range (12-18 LU). Unlike EDM, jazz should NOT be pushed to the loudness limit. The 'quietness' of well-mastered jazz is part of its character.
Should I use compression on a jazz master?
Minimal compression only — a gentle 1.5:1 glue compressor at most. Jazz relies on natural dynamics for expression. Killing the dynamics with heavy compression removes the emotional performance nuance.
How does jazz sound on Spotify?
Jazz on Spotify benefits from minimal processing — let the recording's natural dynamics come through at -14 LUFS.
