Smash Happy Audio builds a full elemental mastering chain — one plugin per stage, each with plainly named controls. No presets, ever: mastering is source-driven, and a preset contradicts the craft.
Linear-phase surgical parametric EQ, sibling to Airwaves. Engineered for the signal, not the preset.
PRE-RELEASELow-end control and translation — the counterpart to Airwaves.
AUVAL-PASSINGTransparent broadband glue compression — the lineup's missing compressor.
AUVAL-PASSINGMid-range enhancer for presence and clarity.
Eight stages of mastering-grade DSP behind four knobs — Air, Clip, Width and Output — and a row of Happy switches that tell you exactly what they do.
AUVAL-PASSING
Mastering-grade sense of space and depth. Never touches the dry signal.
IN DEVELOPMENTTape, multi-stage and analog-inspired limiting in one plugin.
IN DEVELOPMENTPrecision metering and monitoring for the mastering chain.
All 8 core plugins, one window — Ozone-style. Every module is the real plugin's own code, verified bit-exact against running the chain standalone.
Circuit-modeled fuzz/distortion pedal. Not part of the mastering lineup.
Companions to the plugin lineup — not mastering plugins themselves.
