H - Tone & Loudness Enhancer (Free, AU / VST3)

[Shadaloo Audio DSP]

Hi everyone,

I just released my first plugin.

I'm a multi-platinum certified mix & mastering engineer based in Italy, and I originally built this tool for my own sessions, then decided to release it publicly.

H is a tone / loudness enhancer designed for mixing and mastering.
The goal is to increase density, harmonics and perceived loudness while keeping the signal controlled and musical.

Main features:
- Push drive control
- 5 Color modes (Smooth / Soft / Edge / Grit / Crush)
- Blend for parallel processing
- Peak / RMS modes for level comparison
- Output control designed to work with Push for easier gain staging
- Oversampling up to 4x
- AU / VST3 macOS (signed & notarized)
- VST3 Windows
- Free / pay-what-you-want

Curious to hear your thoughts, especially in real mixing and mastering situations.

Just to add…I’ve been getting really good results by pushing the Push and Color controls, then bringing it back in lightly with the Blend.

Works especially well on DRUMS/808/instru BUS

Curious how it works for you on different material if you give it a try.

Just added it to KVR database if anyone prefers browsing from there:

Just pushed v1.1.0 , if you downloaded H before, it’s worth grabbing the latest version.
