REQ: Optimus by SSG Audio (AI Mastering Plugin)
π Professional masters in seconds. Louder & cleaner than ever before π

Mastering is an art - thatβs why Optimus features an all-new type of AI workflow that puts you in control.
By analyzing your entire song and interpreting over 27 million data points, Optimus creates a unique fingerprint of your track.
Then, you choose the flavor of the AI you like best - and exactly how much to apply.
Featuring 3 human-trained models - Balanced, Modern, and Vintage - thereβs a wide range of sonic possibilities to choose from.
Youβre In Total Control
You control exactly how much of the AI you want to apply to your signal with the AI Amount knob. Dial it in to taste and take complete control over your master.

Optimus features an all-new EQ, designed from the ground up with pristine mastering-grade filters and an intuitive control set.
This makes it easier than ever to focus on the global tone of your entire master bus.
Grab the Low, Mid, or High handle to intuitively sculpt the global EQ curve with just a couple clicks.

Optimus features an all-new Spectral Dynamics module to give you even more control over the most important frequency ranges of your mix.
βοΈLow Dynamic Control βοΈ
Instantly get tighter low end that translates across multiple playback systems, even when played through smaller, bass limited speakers.
βοΈHigh Dynamic ControlβοΈ
Soothe harshness in your high end dynamically, or add harmonically relevant excitement for extra air and sparkle - all with just a click.
Perfect Low End, Made Easy.
Advanced Highpass Filter
Not all low end is equal when it hits your mix bus. With our Advanced HPF algorithm, Optimus more precisely filters problematic subsonic lows to keep your mix bus cleaner.

Featuring an all-new compression architecture, Optimus makes it easier than ever to dial in natural mix bus compression.
At low amounts, add gentle compression to beautifully glue all the elements of your mix together.
As you increase the compression amount, you wonβt sacrifice any punch or clarity thanks to the unique Infinite-Knee architecture.


Optimus helps you achieve massive width while always maintaining perfect phase for total mono compatibility.
Choose between Wide and Open for different flavors of stereo enhancement. Or, dial back the overall stereo width for a more narrow, tight mix.
βοΈ Wide βοΈ

Wide mode focuses the stereo enhancement on the midrange for the most impactful perception of width, while simultaneously decreasing the width of the lows for a tighter, more powerful low end.
βοΈ Open βοΈ

Open mode focuses the stereo enhancement on the higher frequencies, while leaving the low frequencies untouched for a more spread out top end.

Optimus achieves extreme loudness with pristine clarity. Perfectly translate to streaming services, CD, or any playback system.
With the all-new ADC (Auto Dither Control) - Optimus applies smart dithering only when needed for perfect translations into streaming standard bit depths.
Plus, with built-in LUFS meters, youβll know exactly how loud to push your master.

Optimus features a collection of genre-based presets to instantly enhance your mixbus for any style of music. Find a perfect starting point in seconds - then dial it in to taste.
