Get the Tone of the Historic Motown Studio

The custom‑made gear built by Hitsville engineers was essential to Motown’s rich, energized sound. By thoroughly emulating the original Hitsville EQ units — with help from the technical engineers who made them — you can finally give your productions the same punchy, open sound heard on countless Motown hits.

Shape Sounds with a Simple Graphic EQ

From vocals and drums, to bass and keyboards, the Hitsville EQ plug‑in makes everything sound better with simple seven‑band equalization, giving your tracks the hit‑making frequencies that made Motown records jump out of the speakers.

Add Professional Shine with Motown’s Classic Mastering EQ

Finish off your tracks with the world’s only emulation of Hitsville’s ultra-rare mid/side disk mastering EQ. Hear how the legendary “Motown Filters” and half‑speed frequency settings give your productions the fat, vintage hi‑fi sound and energy of a classic single, hot off the Motown production line. Hitsville, indeed.
