Vantage is Dead Signal Audio's one-button mastering plugin. Press LISTEN, play the loudest part of the song for up to 30 seconds, and it sets resonance cuts, glue, color and width, then lands a streaming (-14 LUFS), Apple Music (-16) or loud (-9) target through a true-peak limiter. COMPARE plays your original at the master's loudness. 14-day free trial.
About Vantage
Vantage is a mastering plugin built around one button. Press LISTEN and play the loudest section of the song, up to 30 seconds, and it sets every module, then reports in plain English what it changed and why.
The chain runs in six stages: Clean (a low cut plus three resonance bands that only cut while a frequency flares), Tone (a five-band linear-phase EQ with MATCH for a reference track), Glue (a bus compressor that can split into three bands), Color (saturation processed at 4x), Width (mono low end, wider top) and Loudness, a true-peak limiter with -14, -16 and -9 LUFS targets and full metering.
COMPARE plays the original at the master's loudness, so the difference isn't just volume. There is no machine learning in it: it measures the audio and applies fixed rules, and it works on stereo material only.
