Two Ends of the Spectrum. Same Idea. Opposite Directions.

Speaker Breaker and Velvet Crush do the same fundamental job in opposite registers. Both monitor real frequency bands against the overall signal in real time. Both correct automatically the moment something starts dominating. Neither one is an EQ, a limiter, or a gate pretending to be smarter than it is - they're spectral balance checks, watching a part of the frequency range you're not always watching yourself.

Speaker Breaker lives in the low end. Sub, kick, bass, and upper bass are tracked independently, and whichever one starts pushing too far forward gets pulled back into proportion, automatically, without you riding a fader.

Velvet Crush lives up top. Presence, edge, clarity, sparkle, air, and ultra are tracked the same way, catching harshness before it sets in rather than after you've already flinched at it.

Run them together and the entire spectrum has something watching it - the bottom staying honest, the top staying smooth, and the middle left alone to do whatever it wants.

Both Plugins

Ten Bands Total. Two Blend Knobs. Zero Fader Riding.

You receive the complete versions of Speaker Breaker and Velvet Crush - every band, every contour mode, every character mode, both pilot lights included. Nothing is trimmed down for the bundle.

Purchased separately, the two plugins total $38. During the introductory release, the pair is $24. That's real money back for owning both ends of the spectrum instead of just one.

Speaker Breaker

Keep Your Low End Honest.

Speaker Breaker monitors five low-frequency bands - sub, kick, bass, upper bass, and mid - relative to the overall signal, and automatically corrects when any one of them dominates the mix. Not a limiter. A spectral balance check that keeps the bottom in proportion regardless of how loud you push it.

  • Five-band monitoring - sub, kick, bass, upper bass, and mid, tracked in real time.
  • Three contour modes - Warm, Neutral, and Open set how aggressively each band is managed.
  • Blend knob - parallel correction chain, add exactly as much as the track needs.

Velvet Crush high-frequency spectral balance

Velvet Crush

Air and Presence, Without the Edge.

Velvet Crush monitors six high-frequency bands - presence, edge, clarity, sparkle, air, and ultra - relative to the overall signal and corrects when presence or air pulls too far forward. Harshness gets removed before it sets in, not after.

  • Six-band monitoring - presence, edge, clarity, sparkle, air, and ultra, tracked in real time.
  • Three character modes - Silk, Velvet, and Air define the correction threshold across all six bands.
  • Blend knob - parallel correction chain keeps the processing out of the way until you need it.
