Leveraging mics, natural dynamics, room sound and, not least, unavoidable human noises like breathing, squeaking chairs and you name it – in a mix, handling acoustic instruments often takes a completely different approach than electric ones. To add, in a sparse setting, there’s no way to hide behind walls of sound or layers of instrumentation; every element of your mix need to harmonize perfectly.

In this EZmix pack for EZmix 3, we’ve honed in on providing a basic set of go-to presets tailored specifically for acoustic instruments. Regardless of whether you have a mic’d up acoustic guitar that sounds distant and muddy, a vocal that you need that super up-close-and-personal vibe on or an upright bass, a mandolin or a piano in need of some extra presence, you’ll find your settings in this pack. In addition to these instrument-specific settings to be used in the actual recording or mixing process, it even includes a selection of AI-Assisted mastering presets, making sure this collection of presets has you covered from idea to finished song.

If you’re a writer of acoustic pop, folk or singer-songwriter music and need an easy way to ensure that your mixes ooze of tube-like soft, warm and enveloping sounds that burst with consummate and absolute acoustic clarity and distinction, here you go.
