01 WaveBalance
Inconsistent levels between tracks
WaveBalance keeps vocals, stems and recordings at a consistent operating level, so compressors, EQs and saturators behave predictably without manual clip-gain trims.
Featured plugin / Quance
Harshness you cannot cut cleanly? Quance knows what to leave alone.
Quance finds the peaks that make listening tiring and reduces them as you play, so the harmonics, transients and tone that shape your sound stay the same.
- Coming soon
- VST3 / AU / AAX
- macOS + Windows

Seaquake
Seaquake builds a techno rumble under your kick in seconds, locked to the groove, without stacking reverb, distortion and sidechain chains.
Use Seaquake to design low-end motion; use BassXtend when the bass is already there but needs to translate. See BassXtend
-
EelDrive
EelDrive adds SD-1®-style asymmetric overdrive in parallel, so guitars, synths and busses gain grit while keeping pick attack and low-end clarity.
EelDrive's drive responds to the level it receives; WaveBalance keeps the level feeding it consistent. See WaveBalance
Testimonials
Problems these plugins already solved
Straight away it sounds better to me than the industry leader - it dealt with the harshness completely, and the vocal is now warmer and rounder. ... It does that thing the best I’ve heard. It’s now my goto plugin for removing harshness
WaveBalance is particularly valuable for practical gain staging, getting tracks to a sensible operating level before analog-modeled plugins.
I’m finding it’s really great. After watching a YouTube tutorial it’s made a huge difference. Very helpful with my mixes. Thank you for a great plugin.
Seaquake makes it super easy and simple to achieve a tight sound when you need to add some rumble to your kick drums. Highly recommend.
BassXtend is incredible. In a second it placed the synth bass in the perfect spot in the mix. I can’t live without it anymore!
