DSPTone has announced the release of a new plugin called SubMass. It is designed to solve the mixing challenge: achieving a massive, powerful bass response that remains tight, clean, and focused.
In standard mixing, boosting low-end with a traditional equalizer often introduces unwanted sub-bass mud, robs your mix of headroom, and creates a flabby, uncontrolled low-end.
SubMass fixes this by using a specialized, interactive filtering circuit. It creates a tight, resonant volume peak right at your chosen target frequency while simultaneously executing an aggressive high-pass cutoff immediately below it.
Making your bass instruments feel larger, more focused, and mix-ready.
A simple low-shelf & EQ bell is static. But SubMass is dynamic in perception, it reinforces what is already there. Whether you struggle with a thin DI bass or an 808 that needs "chest feel," SubMass delivers analog-style low-end control in a clean digital form.
Features:
- Kick Drums (Acoustic & Electronic): Adds chest-thumping punch to 808s, 909s, and rock kick drums.
- Bass Guitars & Synths: Locks down the fluctuating low-end of a bass performance, giving it a consistent, steady foundation.
- Voiceover & Male Vocals: Restores proximity effect to thin, poorly recorded microphones, giving vocals a deep, cinematic authority.
- Tom-Toms: Tightens floor toms, accentuating their deep resonance while filtering out muddy bleed from the rest of the drum kit.
DSPTone says:
Sub, Kick, Bass - fix them fast. A secret weapon for transforming kick drums and bass guitars. it achieved low-end "weight" using a completely clean, solid-state signal path. It didn't rely on transformers to saturate or generate fake sub-harmonics. It relied purely on a beautifully tuned, highly interactive resonant filter circuit.
Pricing & Availability
SubMass is available for the introductory price of $13.50 (Reg. $18) for macOS and Windows in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats.
