Polish

A full mastering chain with one big Loud knob, honest loudness meters and a button that hits your streaming target for you.

Polish is the last plugin on your master. It runs your song through a mastering EQ, a gentle glue compressor (whole mix or three bands), stereo width with mono bass, tape-style warmth, a soft clipper and a true-peak limiter that never goes over its ceiling, not even between samples. Pick where you're releasing, like Spotify or Apple Music, and the screen shows how loud your song is and what the platform will do with it. Turn the Loud knob, or press Hit target and Polish listens to your song and sets it for you. Compare plays the original at the same loudness, and Preview lets you hear your master the way the platform will play it, so louder never fools your ears.
