what it replaces

One device. The whole master chain.

SHEENa +3.9 kHz image inspired by FL Studio's export aliasing

CURVEsoft clipper stage with its makeup built in, so peaks fold over smooth and the mix comes up instead of flattening out

MULTIoptional. splits the curve into three bands, each with its own drive and mix

MASTER EQ3-band master track EQ, sat between the clipper and the ceiling so every boost gets clipped too

DENSITYdrive into the ceiling. push it and the peaks flat-top against 0 dBFS, so drums hit harder and the whole mix packs in tighter

CEILINGhard clip at 0 dBFS, deliberately not oversampled

>> OUT

Put it on your master and turn it up. The defaults already sound like a finished song.

multi-band

Three bands, before the ceiling.

Flip on MULTI and the clipper splits into lows, mids and highs, each with its own drive. Smash the 808 and leave the hats alone, or vice-versa.

Same sound at any session rate.
