  Three-Body Technology Kirchhoff-EQ

  Kirchhoff is the most comprehensive equalizer with full dynamic control that I have ever used. It rules with sonic royalty, fidelity and uncompromising quality!

• 

  SPL PQ

  The PQ is a fantastic unit and this emulation will be a perfect complement for the PassEQ.

  Knif Audio Soma

  The SOMA EQ will get used more often than any other ITB EQ emulation I own. It’s not invasive and yet adds just the right amount of color to the program. It was definitely worth waiting for!!

  Brainworx bx_rooMS

  Man, this thing is ridiculous! After a few hours of playing with bx_rooMS, all I can say is that it's fantastic. Absolutely full control over every single relevant parameter of an FX processor! This is a home run! Big time!

  Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor

  This has been my bread and butter whether I’m mixing or mastering. It is not a transparent sonic tool. There are plenty of boring boxes out there :)

  However, it will not be invasive coloring nor change your program in a bad way. The ability to engage both compressors or just use one, makes the SHMC incredibly versatile. There’s enough dynamic control to make you go crazy and squash the life of a source or to simply tame the unwanted peaks. Three sets of transformers to choose from is like having multiple consoles at your fingertips. The Dual mono and stereo option is a must have and although my personal preference is the first, there are many occasions where linking the channels has saved the day on mixes in need of a punchy and solid low end.

  The Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor is my desert island dynamics processor and what Brainworx has done, is a meticulously accurate emulation of my beloved hardware. No compromises. It just works like it should. No shady business. Without a shadow of doubt, the one tool you will always be reaching for!

  Lindell Audio 80 Series

  The 8028 is the missing piece in my sonic puzzle. It has the character and texture that everyone relates to when the word analog comes to mind. Having both 1073/1084 accessible with a single click, makes this emulation a dream come true.

  Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A

  Wow, just wow!! The New Version of the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor has taken this tool to a whole different level. With TMT and M/S features alone, this emulation is now replacing other plugins in my chain. I never thought I would consider selling my Hardware until now... .
