POLI pre-mastering chain

VST3AUAppRuns on Win · Mac

Pre-mastering chain in one window: EQ with 128-band reference MATCH, dynamic EQ, compressor, multiband, stereo width and a true-peak maximizer, with LUFS metering in and out. Latency stays at 8.5 ms whatever is switched on, and ten presets cover streaming, club and podcast targets. VST3, AU and standalone on Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel).

About POLI

POLI is a finishing chain that runs six processors in a fixed order: EQ and dynamic EQ for tone, a compressor, a four-band multiband, stereo width and a maximizer. One display shows the waveform, each stage's gain reduction and the loudness as the track plays.

MATCH learns 30 seconds of the densest part of a mix and follows a loaded reference over 128 bands, without boosting what the mix doesn't contain. Four dynamic bells cut only when a note rings out. The multiband splits at 24 dB per octave, and CONVERGE sets its thresholds to match the reference's crest. Width works per band on the sides, with Mono Below keeping bass centred.

Set a loudness target and TO TARGET drives the maximizer there under a true-peak ceiling. Meters cover integrated, short-term and momentary loudness, LRA, true peak and correlation, in and out, and every setting saves with the project.
