Not all that much "mojo" per say but a really nice plugin to have on the master. Combine it with this for the "mojo" and light compression:

I'm currently using GOLD (and also PINK) as my go-to 'mojo' mix EQs. So powerful and immediate. But I also turn to Viridian, Purple or Titanium (for mix duties).
For master bus or mastering I'm still experimenting, and have a few that rotate, depending on the track. But, DiamondEQ has instant mojo for me. In a way it's maybe even too powerful. Can be lethal with too much boost. Instant better-maker-type of plugin (depends on the track though).

I'm still a fan of "Vibe-Eq" by Stillwell Audio even though it's been around for donkeys' years.
But I also use some Acqua plugins like Ruby EQ nowadays as well.

For major mojo Acustica, no doubt. Choose your flavor.
Among the algos, I would stick to all Kush eqs or Voxengo harmonieq.

Two freebies that must be mentioned: Luftikus by lkjb and PTeq-X by Ignite Amps. Both are excellent for tracks, groups, and whole mix/masterbus. The Luftikus does magic to the top end, the PTeq to the low end, and both are great for everything in between too.

In mixing, I really dig PSP NobleQ and E27. For simple shelving duties, the free Baxandall from Fuse.

Assuming that "mojo" mostly means "saturation"...
SlickEQ M is a great master EQ and does also have low/high exciter/saturation sections. SlickEQ (GE) in German mode can do gentle curves with some gentle related saturation. Spectre and Reelbus v4 are both useful for targeting saturation to particular frequencies without too much impact on overall frequency balance.

i saw someone recommend acustica for master bus stuff, but i heard it does weird stuff to transients and can leave "chirping noises" in the mix, so i'd look out for anything like that when you're experimenting.
EDIT:
also look out for even vs. odd harmonics.
when you're doing stuff on a big bus with lots of different frequencies, you'll run into intermodulation distortion. it might just be my personal taste, but i find that in situations with stuff generating IMD, saturation that generates even harmonics makes IMD sound a lot less grating/nasty than the kind which generates odd harmonics

Yep. I personally wouldn’t use acustica on the master bus.sleepcircle wrote: Fri Dec 11, 2020 9:37 pm i saw someone recommend acustica for master bus stuff, but i heard it does weird stuff to transients and can leave "chirping noises" in the mix, so i'd look out for anything like that when you're experimenting.
