Mastering Chain
The last things in the signal path.
Summing colour, loudness shaping, valve saturation with a focused parallel return, a tape suite with dynamics, and two different approaches to final peak control. Compare the colour stages and choose a final limiter for the material; this collection offers alternatives for building a chain.
Best for: Someone who masters their own records and wants to choose colour and peak-control stages to suit each mix.

What is in Mastering Chain
Each included plug-in is licensed individually and appears in your account with its own licence.
Summation (three summing circuits), Valence (valve stage), Mastering Tape Suite (reel-to-reel), Finish Him (true-peak limiter), End Times (multiband adaptive limiter) and Inflated Ego (saturation).
- SummationConsole saturation: US Discrete, British Class-A and British Console engines.
- Inflated EgoTwo-stage saturation, a waveshaper and a harmonic stage, for presence before level.
- ValenceValve saturation with Pentode and Triode stages, three topologies and supply Sag.
- Mastering Tape SuiteAdd tape colour and shape the dynamics of a mix or bus.
- Finish HimChoose Transparent, Punch, Dense or Safe limiting.
- End TimesA loudness chain: clipping, spectral limiting and a true-peak ceiling in one.
Mastering Chain questions
- Do I use every plug-in on every master?
- No. The bundle covers the stages, not a mandatory chain. A clean master might use only correction, one limiter and a ceiling check. Add colour and multiband control only when the material needs them.
- Why are there two limiters?
- Finish Him is a true-peak limiter with four engines and a dBTP ceiling. End Times is a multiband adaptive limiter for material that needs band-specific control. They solve different problems; stacking both usually costs transient life.
- Does the bundle include an EQ?
- No. Use Band Practice, which is free, for broad mastering correction, or your own EQ. The bundle focuses on colour, dynamics and level.
Individual licences, one checkout
Every included plug-in has its own licence. Installers and activations are managed from one account, and buying a bundle does not replace a licence you already own.
