Newfangled Elevate Bundle

Essential Information About the Elevate Mastering Bundle Software

• Complete mastering chain: multiband limiter, "human-ear EQ," and maximizer to increase loudness without sacrificing the sense of dynamics.


• Real-time adaptive processing: analyzes up to 26 frequency bands and automatically adjusts gain, speed, and transients per band for a transparent result.


• Surgical transient control: preserve the attack of kicks, snares, and cymbals, or bring them forward without crushing the entire mix.


• Pro workflow + presets: mastering specialist presets and level comparison tools to quickly validate your choices.

What Elevate Mastering Bundle Is For

Elevate Mastering Bundle is designed to finalize your mixes with a strong, clean, and modern sound. It is suitable both for stereo mastering and output buses in production when you want to increase loudness while maintaining a sense of punch and breathing. Thanks to its multiband "ear-guided" approach, it facilitates tonal balancing and transient management, whether you work with electronic music, hip-hop, rock, or acoustic productions requiring transparency.

Main Features

26-band intelligent multiband limiter

At the heart of Elevate, an adaptive limiter analyzes 26 bands and modifies in real time the gain, speed, and transients of each frequency zone. This approach allows pushing the output level further with a natural sound, even with aggressive settings, limiting typical mastering artifacts (pumping, breathing, perceived distortion).

"Human-ear" EQ and linear auditory filters

Elevate uses critical bands modeled on the functioning of the human ear, with linear phase auditory filters based on the Mel scale. Practically, you sculpt the tonal balance in a very musical way: draw your curves, refine sensitive zones, and achieve consistent mastering without unnecessary harshness.

Advanced transient management (kick, snare, cymbals)

Transient manipulation by bands allows preserving or emphasizing fast attacks without compressing the entire mix. This is a major asset for keeping a punchy drum kit, clear percussion, and a defined high end, while maintaining competitive loudness.

Targeted listening, reliable comparison, and controlled clipping

For precise adjustment, you can solo a band (or a group of bands) to identify a resonance, correct an aggressive area, or adjust dynamics locally. The Auto Output Level function aligns the level between processed and unprocessed signals to judge the real impact of the processing without being misled by volume differences. Finally, the Spectral Clipper allows increasing aggressiveness and final level without unbalancing the tonal balance or thickening the low end, ideal for denser masters.

Presets and comprehensive metering

The bundle includes presets created by professionals (APS Mastering, Matt Lange, Jeremy Lubsey, Eric Beam, ROCAsound, Chris Tabron, John McCaig) to get started quickly and learn proven approaches. On the control side, six types of metering help you precisely monitor key aspects of your audio output during mastering.
