EQ Match in iZotope RX

EQ Match in iZotope RX

If you’ve ever EQ’d your voice and thought, “Wow, this sounds perfect” then you can easily match future recordings to that EQ sound using EQ Match in iZotope RX.

This is a pretty cool piece of functionality that allows you to EQ one audio recording (let’s say person A) so it has the same frequency curve as another audio recording (person B).

Here’s how you use it:

  • First you scan a piece of audio (“B” above) to create a sound profile which you can then save. (Because you love the sound of B)
  • Then you open another piece of audio (“A” above) and apply B’s sound profile, which essentially EQ’s person A to have the same EQ curve as person B.

It can be a handy timesaver in various situations.

  1. I like this functionality. I try different mics at different times, and can save a profile for each one.

  2. It’s also a great way to match separate takes in a podcast or other dialogue. I use it frequently to match clips that were recorded at different times and different settings. I have a client that sort of randomly uses a recorder to capture things and then turns it into a podcast. Sometimes it may be 3-4 different EQ curves. EQ Match works like a charm. Sometimes it’s best to run 2 passes on it. The second pass is always super subtle but it makes a difference.

  3. Want to make sure I got this. You have a recorded your own, or someone else’s, voice. Then you EQ it to where you want it. Save it as a sample/profile, so RX7 can then match the reference file? Sorry, it feels like I’m repeating the article, but i can be a bit thick.
