Master Plan 2 combines a completely overhauled signal chain with powerful new controls and an entirely new workflow, giving you more ways to finish a record without losing the mix that got you there.
A redesigned limiting architecture preserves waveform shape to deliver greater loudness while maintaining your mix’s transients, low end, and original character.
New Gain, Spectral, EQ, and Imaging views reveal changes in loudness, saturation, frequency balance, and stereo imaging as you work.
An improved True Peak circuit delivers greater transparency and more usable loudness than before.
Drop in a reference track and compare it directly against your master without leaving the plugin. Automatic beat detection makes looping sections fast and easy.
The new Optimal Loudness Meter analyzes your mix in real time and helps you find its ideal loudness range. A dynamic indicator shows when you’re in the safe range, approaching optimal loudness, or pushing into excessive limiting.
A redesigned crossover delivers near-linear phase performance without pre-ringing.
Refined oversampling delivers higher-quality processing with minimal overshoot.
Love the original? Switch to the complete Master Plan 1 signal chain whenever you want.
Switch all circuits to low-latency versions for live tracking and performance.
The new Aura circuit lets you dial Master Plan’s signature color up or down.
Silk adds analog-inspired high-frequency saturation for more sheen, air, and dimension.
Presence offers two frequency-adaptive release algorithms to add bite or soften the feel of the limiter.
Body brings quieter elements of your mix forward to increase perceived density and loudness.
Dial in exactly how much mastering-grade glue compression your mix receives.
Blend between four saturation flavors, including our signature Thick circuit, and target the effect where you need it with minimal phase distortion.
The new Glow circuit adds cohesion and helps your whole mix feel more connected.
Automatically set your mix to the optimal input level for Master Plan.
Refined Low, Mid, and High EQ circuits deliver highly accurate phase and frequency response, often called natural phase.
Tame harshness and buildup with dynamic resonance-suppressing filters designed to minimize phase distortion as they respond to your mix.
Independently control the amount and flavor of Tape saturation.
A hybrid of oversampling and Antiderivative Antialiasing (ADAA) reduces unwanted aliasing in nonlinear processing without requiring ADAA compensation filters.
Compare your processed and bypassed mix with latency compensation for more accurate A/B comparisons.
Compare your master at matched loudness, so louder doesn’t automatically sound better.
Save up to three different Master Plan settings and automate between them to give each section its own mastering treatment. Or use Snapshots to compare master variations blind.
Choose a genre, then compare bypassed and active to explore how Master Plan enhances your mix.
