AUDIO PLUGIN STUDIO

Mastering-grade DSP.
Plainly controlled.

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.

THE ELEMENTAL MASTERING CHAIN

Surgeon → Groundwaves → Tidewaves → Firewaves → Airwaves → Spacewaves → Redline → Meridian.

IN DEVELOPMENT
SURGEON

Linear-phase surgical parametric EQ, sibling to Airwaves.

PRE-RELEASE
GROUNDWAVES

Low-end control and translation — the counterpart to Airwaves.

AUVAL-PASSING
TIDEWAVES

Transparent broadband glue compression — the lineup's missing compressor.

AUVAL-PASSING
FIREWAVES

Mid-range enhancer for presence and clarity.

AWAITING FINAL LISTENING PASS MASTERING GRADE ENHANCER
AIRWAVES

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.

Airwaves plugin interface
AUVAL-PASSING
SPACEWAVES

Mastering-grade sense of space and depth. Never touches the dry signal.

IN DEVELOPMENT
REDLINE

Tape, multi-stage and analog-inspired limiting in one plugin.

IN DEVELOPMENT
MERIDIAN

Precision metering and monitoring for the mastering chain.

FLAGSHIP · BUILT & VERIFIED
SMASH REFINERY

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.
