The Secret Sauce of Josh Gudwin’s Master Chain
Midnight is a premium suite designed alongside legendary mixer Josh Gudwin. It replicates his essential "back-end" signal chain—the specific combination of tube compression and passive EQ that creates his signature polished, high-end sound.
Key Features
-
High-End Hybrid Chain: Features a meticulously sampled Vari-Mu Tube Compressor paired with a customized Passive EQ, offering the perfect balance of warmth and clarity.
-
Hyper3 Engine: Provides industry-leading transient response and extremely low CPU usage, making it feel more like a hardware unit than a plugin.
-
Mastering Grade Control: While versatile enough for vocals or instruments, Midnight is specifically tuned to excel on the Mix Bus and in Mastering situations.
-
Innovative Visuals: Powered by the Aria engine, it offers high-definition metering and waveform displays, allowing you to see exactly how the tube circuitry is affecting your dynamics.
-
Modern Pop Aesthetics: Tuned to deliver the "expensive" top-end and solid low-end found in contemporary chart-topping productions.
Pro Tip: Insert Midnight as the final processor before your limiter. Use the Vari-Mu compressor for just 1–2 dB of gain reduction. This is usually enough to make the mix sound "more expensive" and three-dimensional.
