Sonimus - SonEQ

On the market for an EQ that is capable of offering a great sound besides regular equalization? SonEQ features the "Drive" knob which allows you to introduce saturation to your sound.

Not only it's very easy to use and understand, but the interface itself looks "vintage" and the sound it offers sounds great. Very easy to navigate through and use on any piece of audio material.

Acustica Audio - Fire The Gold

Acustica Audio made it very simple to achieve analog saturation emulated with a single plugin... or better said with a single knob. Get that vintage british sound using only one plugin and only one knob. The quality of the sound it gives is just on another level. You can go step beyond and engage "ultra" knob in the bottom right corner which'll give you a bit of extreme saturation if you prefer that. Oversampling is also available which makes this plugin "top end"!

    Klanghelm - DC1A

    Create outstanding sounding vocals using DC1A compressor which makes it super easy to compress with only two knobs. Also, choose the mode you like at the bottom of the compressor. Pretty straight forward plugin overall. Very easy to understand and get used to understanding compression.

    Brainworx - bx_masterdesk Classic

    All in one mastering chain, that's what's bx_masterdesk Classic about. You can track the dynamic range, control the volume and harmonics while changing the tone of the compression. Asking about the limiter? Yes, there is a built-in limiter so you can actually get a great limiting using this unit.
    I love how this unit sounds. Also, the stereo enhancer does and amazing job. Plugins like these can make the life easier for non-mastering engineers who want to master tracks on their own. However, have in mind that this plugins can't replace some other chains including different gear specialized for certain purposes.

      Acustica Audio - Coral2 Baxter

      Acustica Audio made it easy again with their Coral2 Baxter!
      Give that final polish to your master using this equalizer which is actually a baxandall equalizer. Basically, this EQ is great for gently add the weight and top end to your audio signals. Works great on buses & in mastering!
      They went one step ahead and added "pre" knob in order to add that "analog" sound and warmth to your signal once engaged.

      Analog Obsession - SPEComp

      Control the dynamics in SSL style using SPEComp!
      Very easy to work with, simple interface and great working compressor overall. Great for individual instruments or buses.

      Alex Hilton - A1StereoControl

      Click here to download

      Control the stereo width using this simple-to-understand plugin. A lot of adjustments available which makes this plugin very flexible for any audio material you're working on.
      It reminds me of Waves S1 Stereo widener which also does an amazing job.
