In this video, I attempted to replicate the Newfangled Audio's Elevate plugin using Bitwig Studio by creating a similar mastering setup with a filter bank, compressor, and clipper. I utilized impulse responses for band splitting, which helped maintain CPU efficiency, and included modular options for compression and limiting to tailor the audio to personal taste. The project file is available for download in the description for viewers to try and provide feedback.

In this video, I provide updates to my Hard Clip and Auto Level presets, both of which are now available for free download with new features like LED clipping indicators and improved functionality. I've introduced options such as different clipping modes, band splitting, and a stereo link feature, while addressing phase shift issues and incorporating spectral-based solutions. Additionally, for the Auto Level preset, I added features such as an amount knob and stereo link, and I shared an experimental Auto Level Plus version for quick mastering solutions.

In this video, I demonstrate a preset called "Multipressor" that I've created. It functions as a multi-band compressor, allowing for the avoidance of phase issues and frequency dips. The preset offers controls for thresholds, ratio, attack/release, and input gain, as well as the ability to adjust the reaction time and gain reduction of different frequency bands.

I just watched a video where Dave Lindenbank created a compressor inside of the grid, and I took his patch and created my own preset called DOTT (Dave OTT) - a three-band compressor expander. It's completely free to download and it includes band splitters, compressors, expanders, threshold and gain controls, VU meters, and EQ and saturation options. It's a powerful tool for squeezing the signal and I hope you enjoy experimenting with it.
