Two new plugins in testing

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
Coming soon

Two new plugins.
Both running on real mixes now.

Built, measured, and in testing. Here's what they do for you.

The Vantage plugin
Mastering · Coming soon
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 Ashfall synth: a smoke-filled patch display with the swell curve, the Morph orb, and SWELL, DUCK and KEY modules
Instrument · Coming soon
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.

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.
