The Exact Mastering Chain
Used on 50M+ Streams

No — the plugins are not included, and they can't be. You're buying the mastering chains (the presets + macro settings + workflow), not the plugins themselves. The Waves, Ozone, and Plugin Alliance chains need you to already own those plugins. The Ableton and Logic chains use only the stock plugins that come free with those DAWs — nothing extra to buy. Don't own Waves, Ozone, or Plugin Alliance? Use the Ableton or Logic chain.

It's the newest and most colorful of the five — built with 100% Plugin Alliance plugins (Brainworx bx_cleansweep Pro, elysia museq, Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor, Brainworx bx_digital V3, Black Box Analog Design HG-2, Brainworx bx_clipper, and bx_limiter True Peak). It has its own 10 macros tuned for analog tone and character, including DENSITY (harmonic richness and body) and SAT (parallel tube warmth and color). It runs in both Ableton Live and Logic Pro — the same chain and the same 10 macros, recreated natively for each — and needs a Plugin Alliance subscription (Core or PRO) with those plugins.

Waves chain: any DAW (needs the Waves plugins). Ozone chain: any DAW (needs iZotope Ozone 9–12). Ableton chain: Ableton only, stock plugins. Logic chain: Logic only, stock plugins. Plugin Alliance chain: Ableton and Logic Pro, needs the Plugin Alliance plugins. So no matter your setup, at least one chain is ready for you.

Any recent one. The iZotope Ozone chain comes with a preset for Ozone 9, 10, 11, and 12 — you get all four, included. Use whichever you own. Same chain, same 7 Ozone modules, same results, just built for your version of the plugin.

Waves chain: StudioRack plus F6, SSL G-Master Buss Compressor, PuigTec EQP1A, SSL G-Equalizer, PuigTec MEQ5, S1 Stereo Imager, L2 Ultramaximizer. Ozone chain: iZotope Ozone 9, 10, 11, or 12 (any edition with the modules below) — you get a preset for each. Ableton and Logic chains: stock plugins only — nothing extra to buy. You must already own the plugins listed for a given chain — they are not part of this purchase.

You're covered. The Waves and Ozone chains work in any DAW — provided you have those plugins. The Ableton and Logic chains are built natively with stock plugins for those DAWs. The Plugin Alliance chain runs in both Ableton and Logic Pro.

It uses iZotope Ozone modules — EQ, Vintage Compressor, Low End Focus, Exciter, the Imager (gold standard for stereo work), and Maximizer. iZotope is top-tier for mastering, and these modules outclass anything in the other chains. You get presets for Ozone 9, 10, 11, and 12, so you're covered whichever you run.

Built for electronic music. Works across genres with small adjustments.

Yes. One purchase, unlimited tracks, including client projects.

Yes. 8 macros — turn knobs and hear results. 10 minutes to learn.

All sales are final — these are instant-download digital products, so once you have the files they can't be returned (this is the standard across the industry). The exceptions: if a file is corrupted, you got the wrong product, or a download link is broken, email Charlie and he'll fix it the same day. Know what you're buying before you buy — the page, demos, and this FAQ tell you exactly what's included.

The Waves, Ableton, and Logic chains share the same 8 macros, workflow, and results — only the plugins differ. The Ozone chain runs 7 pro Ozone modules (most powerful build). The Plugin Alliance chain is its own thing — different plugins, its own analog-flavored macros, the most color and character of the five. Five distinct routes to a finished master.
