Mastering plugin suite

MUEDsp

Finish the record.

The chain I master with, folded into one plugin — a master chain for finishing a track while you stay in the music. That's MUEDsp masterchain.

Try one, free

In development

MUEDsp masterchain

I'm bundling the chain I always master with into a single plugin — comp, EQ, limiter. Few knobs, so you can finish a track without disappearing into the details. Still building it.

A mock of the in-development MUEDsp masterchain UI (planned — not the shipping product)
A work-in-progress screen — not the real thing yet.

Here's roughly how it'll work.

Ceiling
The output ceiling (−3 to 0 dBTP).
Width
Stereo width (0–200%).
Mono
Mono below this frequency (0–300 Hz).
Limiter
The final brickwall (on by default).
Bypass
The whole plugin on/off.

One-time $69. Available at launch.

I'm putting out free plugins one at a time — some are stages taken from masterchain, some started outside the chain. Try them on your own music.

The transformer-saturation stage

MUEDsatMUEDsp saturation

A free transformer saturation plugin

Not a demo or a trial — it's the transformer-saturation stage of the master chain I actually use, pulled out and made free (its finished form, MUEDsp masterchain, is in development). Push it for obvious grit, or back it off until it just sits under the sound.

The same MUEDsat interface, side by side: idle on the left (transfer curve near-linear, THD 0.00%) and driven on the right (curve bent, DRIVE glowing, THD 7.42%).

Idle (dry)

Driven (saturating)

Four knobs, nothing hidden.

DRIVE
how hard you push the transformer (more = more harmonics).
Mix
blend with the dry signal (parallel saturation).
Air
a touch of clean high-shelf sheen.
Output
level trim.

Plus a true-dry bypass toggle, for honest A/B. Zero latency, no oversampling artifacts (ADAA).

Free. Just grab it and try it on your own music.

MUEDsat is completely free — nothing locked, timed, or paywalled. The email you give me is your key: your plugins get a home in your portal, always the latest build, one click away — no password, and no old email link to dig up next time. You'll also hear when I update it, or when MUEDsp masterchain is ready. Unsubscribe anytime.

The final peak-limiting stage

MUEDlimMUEDsp limiter

A free true-peak limiter

Not a demo or a trial — it's the final peak-limiting stage (a true-peak limiter) of the chain I always master with, pulled out and made free (its finished form, MUEDsp masterchain, is in development). It catches inter-sample peaks and holds true peaks to a ceiling you set (−1 dBTP by default).

The MUEDlim plugin interface, its loudness meter running. At the top, the title with an ACTIVE / BYPASS toggle (set to ACTIVE) at the right. Below, a large amber INTEGRATED LUFS readout (−11.2) at the left, and SHORT-TERM −10.8, GR −0.6 dB, RANGE 6.7 LU and TRUE-PEAK −1.0 dBTP stacked at the right. A steady loudness-history graph around −11 with a dashed TARGET −14 line fills the center; a vertical true-peak meter showing green below its −1.0 dBTP ceiling on the right; and INPUT (+0.0 dB) and CEILING (−1.0 dBTP) knobs along the bottom.

INPUT for loudness, CEILING for the ceiling. That's all.

INPUT
input drive, i.e. loudness (−6 to +18 dB).
CEILING
the true-peak ceiling (−3 to 0 dBTP, default −1).

Plus a BYPASS toggle (ACTIVE / BYPASS), for honest A/B.

Free. Just grab it and try it on your own music.

Started outside the chain

MUEDriveMUEDsp drive

A free saturator, three characters

Not a demo or a trial — it's the third free plugin I've put out under MUED. Unlike the first two, though, it isn't a stage lifted out of MUEDsp masterchain, my mastering chain; it's a standalone plugin I started outside the chain. Where MUEDsat adds sheen up top, this one is about what happens when you push the middle and the low end. On a bus, a drum bus, or before your master: run it through, push DRIVE, and each character breaks up differently.

The MUEDrive plugin interface. At the top left, a wordmark setting MUED in bright type against a dimmer rive, with a THREE-CHARACTER DRIVE subtitle beneath it and a BYPASS toggle at the right. At the left, the three-position CHARACTER selector points to TUBE (lit amber), with WARM and CONSOLE at the other positions and a 3-POSITION · DETENTED note below. The center holds a large DRIVE knob tracing an amber arc at 50 %, with an AUTO −6.9 dB readout under it. At the right, three knobs stacked top to bottom: MIX 100 %, OUTPUT 0.0 dB and FOCUS 600 Hz. Along the bottom, GLASSWERKS INC. and TUBE · WARM · CONSOLE.

DRIVE for how much, FOCUS for where it starts. Then MIX and OUTPUT.

DRIVE
how much (0–100%).
FOCUS
the line above which it distorts; below it passes through. The readout shows the actual value for the character you've selected, so it changes when you switch.
MIX
blend with the dry signal (0–100%).
OUTPUT
output level (−12 to +12 dB).

Switch with the selector. Same DRIVE, different break-up.

Free. Just grab it and try it on your own music.
