EARN THEIR PLACE

Precision, mastering-grade enhancers.

Wavefront — boxed
WAVEFRONT

Uncompromising spectral balance.

  • LINEAR PHASE — double-precision EQ engine, filter curves swap mid-drag with zero clicks
  • THE SURGEON — adaptive resonance suppression, touches only what pokes through
  • DYNAMIC EQ — 16 fully dynamic bands, each with its own threshold, ratio, attack and release

Groundwaves — boxed
GROUNDWAVES

Complete low-end control.

  • GROUNDWORK — gain-normalized head-bump saturation that adds real low-end warmth
  • TRANSLATOR — two-voice sub-harmonic synthesis, low end that still reads on phone speakers
  • LOW LOCK — parallel glue compression with Boom Tamer riding underneath, reins in a runaway low-end hit

Tidewaves — boxed
TIDEWAVES

Transparent glue compression.

  • UNDERTOW — three classic compressor characters: VCA, opto, or vari-mu
  • BALLISTICS — attack sets itself automatically off your material's crest factor
  • DETECTOR — Lean tilts what the detector listens to, without coloring the signal

Firewaves — boxed
FIREWAVES

Mid-range harmonic control.

  • THE TECHNICAL HEADLINE — gain-normalized tanh saturation, real analog-style warmth
  • HARMONIC CHARACTER — even/odd harmonic blend, dialed from warm to gritty

AIRWAVES

Spacewaves — boxed
SPACEWAVES

Source-matched space and depth.

  • REVERB ENGINE — 8-line double-precision reverb built for depth, not wash
  • SPECTRAL MATCH — tilt-matched tail, the space always reads as more of the same room
  • TRANSIENT DUCKING — keeps the attack clear while the tail blooms underneath

Redline — boxed
REDLINE

Precision mastering loudness.

  • TAPE STAGE — three-band harmonic saturation matrix, tape color dialed in per band
  • LOUDNESS ENGINE — a wideband limiter tuned to keep gain reduction musical, not pumped
  • SMOOTH HAPPY — tames presence exactly when the limiter's working hardest

Meridian — boxed
MERIDIAN

The complete metering suite.

  • LOUDNESS — true BS.1770-5 loudness metering, not an approximation
  • GATING — real two-stage gating, the same math a broadcast meter uses
  • REAL WORLD MATRIX — hear it the way a phone, earbuds, or streaming actually will

HOW WE SELL

No 80%-off banners. No countdown timers. Just an honest price.

We're a small BC company run by engineers, not a marketing department. We price plugins to be genuinely affordable up front — not permanently "on sale" — and we'd rather be in the comments and the inbox with the people using these than hiding behind a storefront.

Buy it once, own it — forever. No subscriptions. We're not going to rent your own tools back to you month after month. The only time we'd ever run one is if a product genuinely costs us something to keep online, like a cloud service.

$5 from every purchase goes to BC Children's Hospital Foundation. No strings, no opt-in required — it's just part of the price. We'll share the totals as we go.

PER PLUGIN

$49 each

Any single mastering-chain plugin — Wavefront, Groundwaves, Tidewaves, Firewaves, Airwaves, Spacewaves, Redline, or Meridian.

THE WHOLE CHAIN

$169 — Complete Mastering Suite

All eight mastering plugins, bundled — plus Dropzone, our delivery workflow app, included free. That's the full chain and your delivery tool for less than four plugins bought individually.

EARLY ADOPTER

$199 — everything, forever

Every current plugin plus every plugin we release in the future, for one price. This introductory offer won't stay this low as the catalog grows — it's the earliest, best deal we'll ever offer.

GIVING BACK

Help The Kids!

$5 from every purchase goes to BC Children's Hospital Foundation, every year — and we'll show the proof. We're parents too, and we're driven to help families and children in need.
