Twenty plugins, one DNA.
The bundle pairs the universal channel strip with four instrument-specific channel strips (Drums, Bass, Guitar, Voice), a dedicated Mastering plugin — and every stage of the strip as its own individual plugin (Source). Same DNA, focused per module, surgical reach.
All eight stages share
one philosophy.
Fewer parameters, deeper musicality. Every Tonus module was designed to sound right in any context — and to disappear when it shouldn't be there.
One signal path.
Eight modules in series, in the order that always made sense. No bus, no router, no surprise. Tonus is a single signal that passes through eight stages — and comes out more musical on the other side.
Fewer parameters.
Each stage exposes one or two knobs. Behind them: years of mixing decisions baked into musical defaults. You tweak the result, not the 47 parameters that lead to it.
Deeper musicality.
The EQ is dynamic. The compressor is vari-mu inspired. The limiter has true peak. None of this is advertised on the box — only the result is.
Your chain, your order.
Reorder the processing chain however you like — drag the stages into whatever sequence the track needs. No fixed signal flow forced on you.
72 console-grade inputs.
The input stage offers 72 channels, each voiced differently like the strips on an analog console. The plugin auto-increments the channel for you — no picking one by one, just follow the sequence.
Twenty-four bands
under your control.
Parametric EQ with 24 free bands, dynamic mode on each one, plus per-band compression and saturation. Place each band in stereo, mid/side or a single channel, and drive the dynamics from an external sidechain. Fix what's bothering you, leave what's already sounding right alone.
Every band, dynamic.
Dynamic mode on all 24 bands — only cuts when the problem shows up. Doesn't kill the air on a track just because there's a harsh peak elsewhere.
Surgical solo.
Solo any band to pinpoint exactly what's bothering you. No guesswork, no time wasted sweeping by hand to find the right frequency.
Per-band compression.
Every band has its own compressor. EQ and dynamics in one plugin, on the same curve. Real-time FFT analyzer so you can see exactly what you're shaping.
Per-band saturation.
Add harmonic color right where you want it. Each band has its own saturation — warm up a dull top, thicken a thin low-mid, without touching the rest of the spectrum.
Stereo, M/S, L/R per band.
Place each band where it belongs: full stereo, mid only, side only, or a single left or right channel. Tame a harsh cymbal on one side, de-mud the center, or open the air on the sides — all on the same curve.
External sidechain.
Feed any band's dynamic mode from another track. Duck the low end under the kick, carve space for the vocal, or trigger a cut only when the snare hits.
From the people
who mix on it.
Real sessions, real records. Here's what working producers and mixing engineers say after putting Tonus to work.
Smoothness in the sound, subtlety in the adjustment — yet when pushed it has incredible firepower. With the vintage-machine emulations built into the plugin, we get that interesting color on the transient. It also brings some genuinely innovative controls for shaping audio in a corrective and creative way at the same time, proving that the word "limit" has no place inside this incredible bundle. Without a doubt, an indispensable tool for the day-to-day of the creative mixer.
