First release: Vantage, Oct 28

Make it sound
finished.

We build the tools that make your mixes sound like records. Every one is measured before it ships, so what you hear is real.

Vantage, the Dead Signal mastering plugin: a spectrum display, loudness meters and six processing modules
Release calendar

What's coming,
and when.

Every one of these is built, measured and in testing now. Here's the order they come out in.

The Vantage plugin
Mastering · Out Oct 28, 2026
Vantage

Mastering that listens first.

Press LISTEN and play the loudest part of your song. Vantage measures the mix, tames the frequencies that flare up, sets every module and lands the loudness you choose. Then COMPARE plays your original at the same loudness, so you judge the master, not the volume.

  • Hit your loudness target without guessing. Streaming (-14 LUFS), Apple Music (-16) or loud (-9). In our tests on a real mix it lands within 0.1 LU.
  • Never hand over a clipped master. Peaks stay under your ceiling, even on full-band noise slammed 12 dB over it.
  • Sound like the records you love. Load a reference track and Vantage matches its tonal balance.

The Crucible vocal plugin: a pitch graph of the sung notes, the LISTEN summary and meters, and the chain's modules below
Vocal chain · Out Nov 18, 2026
Crucible

Your whole vocal chain in one plugin.

Drop it on a dry vocal and press LISTEN. Crucible hears the take, finds the key, the level, the frequencies that ring and where the S's live, then sets the chain for that singer. Tune, clean-up, compression, de-essing, tone, doubling and space, all in one place.

  • Built for screams too. Flip CLEAN to SCREAM and it stops trying to tune the screams and hits them harder instead.
  • Tuning with two characters. NATURAL keeps the vibrato and slides. HARD snaps to the note for the effect.
  • Start from a sound you like. 32 presets for leads, doubles, rap, effects and screams, every one level-matched.

The Ashfall synth: a smoke-filled patch display with the swell curve, the Morph orb, and SWELL, DUCK and KEY modules
Instrument · Out Dec 15, 2026
Ashfall

Pads, drones and swells for heavy music.

Ashfall builds the atmosphere under a heavy mix. Its swells land on the drop at your session's tempo, its sub locks to your tuning, and it ducks out of the kick's way so the low end stays tight.

  • Land the swell exactly on the drop. SWELL builds over half a bar to eight bars, synced to your DAW.
  • A sub that's always in tune. KEY and LOCK put it on your tuning's lowest string, from E standard to drop A.
  • Pick sounds by ear, not by volume. 50 factory patches, every one level-matched.

The Bessemer instrument: a distressed grey 7-string guitar with the notes lit on its fretboard, and player, pickup and amp controls below
Instrument · Coming early 2027
Bessemer

The industrial 7-string.

Write the riff in MIDI and Bessemer plays it on a 7-string, through its own amp. No guitar in the room, no mic, no re-amping. Every string is modelled, not sampled, so it plays in any tuning and no two picks are the same.

  • Heavy tunings built in. B standard down to drop E, the low string right where you want it.
  • The double-tracked wall in one click. DOUBLE plays two separate performances, hard left and right. QUAD stacks four.
  • Played like a guitarist would. Palm mutes in four depths, legato, slides, bends and harmonics, from keyswitches or the mod wheel.

How we build

No hype. Receipts.

01

Measured, not guessed.

Every build is tested against the numbers before it ships. Our limiter is judged by a reference meter far finer than a sample grid. Our EQ filters are checked against the textbook curves.

02

Honest A/B, always.

Louder always sounds better for about ten seconds. Our plugins compare at matched loudness, so you hear what changed, not the volume.

03

Fewer knobs, better songs.

If a control doesn't do something you can hear, it doesn't make the cut. Open it, hear the difference, get back to the music.
