We’re a small team of engineers, composers, and developers building audio
tools for people who care about sound. Everything we make is shaped by
real-world use, not marketing trends.
Co-founder
Mastering Engineer
Stan has mixed on Billboard #1 albums for Rihanna, Big Sean, and Wale,
and multi-platinum singles for O.T. Genasis, Jaden Smith, and others. He
trained under Manny Marroquin and built Master Plan to streamline his
own mastering workflow.
Sam is a software developer and composer with a background in audio/DSP,
web, and embedded systems. He builds functional, studio-grade tools that
don’t look like airplane cockpits. If you ask nicely, he can also cook
up a mean marinara...
Developer
Web & Infrastructure
Alex is a software developer who moved into programming after working in
finance. Alex handles web development, APIs, payments, and product
authorization. She spends time listening to music, baking bread, and
thinking about elevators.
We like tools that feel immediate, sound great, and don’t need a manual.
Everything we add has to earn its place, otherwise we leave it out.
If you’re curious about how we make those calls — or what we’re figuring
out as we go — we write about it on the blog.

One-Stop Bass With Fuel
FUEL delivers so well in its stated function that I think it can disguise what a Swiss Army knife this plugin is. One of my favorite uses for FUEL these days is bass processing. Not only can it deliver a range of killer bass tones, from window-rattling subs to cutting grit, but it’s pretty close to the only plugin you need to get there.

I Tried Recreating Rupert Neve’s Silk With SweetEQ
One of the producers I manage, 206DEREK, has a Master Bus Transformer at his studio, so I’ve spent some time with it. It’s an incredible piece of hardware.
It also costs around $4,000.

How to Listen for Mud (Using Clean)
You might have noticed that while our plugins are generally pretty loaded up with features, the controls are pretty straightforward. You might even call some of those controls “limited,” but don’t get it twisted - I don’t necessarily think limited controls are a bad thing. I wrote a whole article about it.
