CMP-1

$69 · dynamics

Short: Bus glue without the squash

Long: CMP-1 is built for the mix bus and group stems — Clean, Opto, FET, and Glue characters so you can move from transparent leveling to classic punch without leaving the insert. Lookahead, auto-makeup, Peak/RMS/Hybrid detection, stereo link, sidechain LPF, and Mid-Side / Dual Mono keep it competitive with flagship bus comps. Hold freezes gain reduction before release (anti-pump), and Range caps max GR for invisible bus glue — controls most bus comps skip.

URL: doepesci.com/products/cmp-1

LIM-1

$69 · dynamics

Short: True-peak ceiling you can trust

Long: LIM-1 keeps ceilings honest with transparent true-peak limiting — loud when you need it, clean when the mix already breathes. Per-channel true-peak, lookahead peak-hold, and a dual soft-clip shaper keep overs in check. Factory presets and live GR / true-peak meters keep the last stage fast.

URL: doepesci.com/products/lim-1

CLP-1

$39 · dynamics

Short: Loudness before the brick wall

Long: CLP-1 is the pre-limiter density tool: Soft mode rounds peaks into harmonic weight, Hard mode smashes drums and buses when you want edge. Drive into it before LIM-1 so the brick wall works less and the mix stays loud without the pumping fight. Live meters keep the smash intentional.

URL: doepesci.com/products/clp-1

DES-1

$39 · dynamics

Short: Bright vocals, not brittle esses

Long: DES-1 Split, Wide, and Listen modes give you surgical control over sibilance so vocals stay bright, not brittle — with auto-detect band energy and a live GR meter so you can see what you hear.

URL: doepesci.com/products/des-1

GAT-1

Free · dynamics

Short: Musical gate · free

Long: GAT-1 is a musical gate / downward expander for drums, room mics, and noisy tracks — tight when you need it, gentle when the performance breathes. Free forever.

URL: doepesci.com/products/gat-1

AGC-1

$39 · utility

Short: Honest A/B loudness match

Long: AGC-1 automatic gain / loudness matching keeps reference tracks level with your mix so you judge tone, not volume. Drop it on the reference bus, match, and make A/B calls without the “louder always wins” trap — useful in mix checks, client playback, and mastering prep next to free LUFS-1.

URL: doepesci.com/products/agc-1

TRS-1

$49 · dynamics

Short: Attack and sustain, Mid-Side

Long: TRS-1 transient design for drums, percussion, and anything that needs more snap or more body. Real Mid-Side encode → shape mid → decode keeps the stereo image intentional while you carve attack and sustain.

URL: doepesci.com/products/trs-1

PCH-1

Free · dynamics

Short: One-knob punch · free

Long: PCH-1 collapses a Titan-inspired color compressor into a single Punch macro — digitally controlled compression, clean-to-vintage VCA morph, Dynamic Color snap on hits, Fat/Air tone, and Impact Seal: a one-of-one hit fingerprint that imprints your transient into the punch character. Claim it free, turn it up until the kit wakes up.

URL: doepesci.com/products/pch-1

SAT-1

$49 · color

Short: Tape · tube · transformer weight

Long: SAT-1 is three analog-flavored saturators in one insert: Tape for soft glue, Tube for harmonic bloom, Transformer for iron weight. Ride Drive from subtle bus warmth to parallel smash — the MADE-inspired color lane without renting a full tape suite.

URL: doepesci.com/products/sat-1

MOD-1

Free · modulation

Short: Chorus & swirl · free

Long: MOD-1 modulation for width, swirl, and classic stereo motion on guitars, synths, vocals, and returns. Optional BBD Color taps the full MADE DelayEngine when you want analog grit — still free forever.

URL: doepesci.com/products/mod-1

TAP-1

$49 · color

Short: Tape machine glue

Long: TAP-1 is a full tape-machine lane: wow/flutter motion, harmonic saturation, and the soft compression engineers still chase on buses and masters. Use it when the mix needs recorded weight — not a sterile digital polish — before imaging and true-peak limiting.

URL: doepesci.com/products/tap-1

LUFS-1

Free · metering

Short: Streaming loudness · free

Long: LUFS-1 BS.1770-style metering for mix and master checks — so streaming targets don’t surprise you at delivery. Free forever.

URL: doepesci.com/products/lufs-1

CV-1

$89 · reverb

Short: Vocal spring & tube space

Long: CV-1 is a vocal-first reverb with tube and spring inspiration — lush tails that sit behind the singer instead of washing consonants. Diffusion, spring-tank energy, and wet/dry tools stay musical on leads, stacks, and dialogue when halls feel too big.

URL: doepesci.com/products/cv-1

FIX-1

$39 · utility

Short: Fix the chain, keep mixing

Long: FIX-1 is the session utility for insert chains that need matching and mid/side cleanup — less detective work, more mixing. When a stem feels “off,” mid-correct tools help you catch phase and stereo problems before they steal an hour of A/B.

URL: doepesci.com/products/fix-1

SPC-1

$69 · reverb

Short: Plate · hall · room that sit

Long: SPC-1 is the instrument and bus space rack: Plate for shimmer, Hall for depth, Room for realism — without a cloud of mud. Dial decay and mix so drums, guitars, and score cues feel placed in a room, not pasted under a preset wash.

URL: doepesci.com/products/spc-1

WID-1

$39 · spatial

Short: Width with mono safety

Long: WID-1 stereo imager for controlled width: open the sides where it helps, keep the low end solid. Listen modes (Stereo / Mid / Side / Mono) let you audition the image while you shape it.

URL: doepesci.com/products/wid-1

BBD-104

$129 · delay

Short: Bucket-brigade grit

Long: BBD-104 is an MF-104-inspired MADE analog delay for dark echoes, slap, and modulated trails that feel like hardware. Charge bleed and ageing add the dirt clean digital delays skip — the step up from free DLY-1 / MOD-1 when grit matters.

URL: doepesci.com/products/bbd-104

CHN-1

$89 · channel

Short: One insert, whole channel

Long: CHN-1 is the fast tracking and mixing strip: HPF, tonal EQ, dynamics, and saturation without stacking five plugins on every channel. Build a template once, print consistent tone across vocals and instruments, then reach for CMP-1 / SAT-1 when a bus needs a specialist.

URL: doepesci.com/products/chn-1

EQP-1A

$89 · eq

Short: Musical program EQ

Long: EQP-1A is the classic “make it better” program EQ: broad, musical boosts and cuts with tube-flavored drive for weight. Reach for it on buses, vocals, and masters when surgical bands feel lifeless — then finish with MBC-1 / LIM-1 when you need control and ceiling.

URL: doepesci.com/products/eqp-1a

MBC-1

$89 · dynamics

Short: Four bands, clear GR

Long: MBC-1 is four-band dynamics for stems and masters: tame lows, open mids, and polish highs with independent thresholds and timing — plus per-band GR meters so you know which band is working. Use it when broadband compression squashes the groove.

URL: doepesci.com/products/mbc-1

MST-1

$129 · mastering

Short: Guided master, intentional finish

Long: MST-1 is a guided mastering path when you need a coherent finish without rebuilding a rack from scratch. Pick a style, shape the chain, and land a delivery-ready master — then verify with free LUFS-1 and LIM-1 when the ceiling has to be exact.

URL: doepesci.com/products/mst-1

SYN-1

$129 · instrument

Short: Console synth that sits

Long: SYN-1 is a console-inspired synthesizer built to sit in a mix: poly for pads and chords, arp for performance writing, and analog attitude for bass and leads that feel like instruments — not preset wallpaper.

URL: doepesci.com/products/syn-1

VOX-1

$89 · channel

Short: Smart vocal strip

Long: VOX-1 is the fast vocal insert: opto-style Control density, Tone from warmth to air, Space for plate/slap placement, and Volume trim — without stacking a compressor, EQ, and reverb on every vocal. Level, place, and move on.

URL: doepesci.com/products/vox-1

MPC-1

Free · color

Short: Vintage sampler color · free

Long: MPC-1 is one Color macro for classic sampler grit: drive, bit depth, rate, anti-alias filter, punch, and dust. Twist once for clean 16-bit character through crushed MPC60 grit — free forever.

URL: doepesci.com/products/mpc-1

Free · metering

Long: REF-1 is the reference / checking assistant for faster mix decisions: A/B confidence, loudness and spectrum cues, and fewer “is this actually better?” loops. Claim it free forever — tip $9 if it earns its keep.

URL: doepesci.com/products/ref-1

Pay your conscience

$9 · support

Short: Optional tip · REF-1

Long: A $9 tip for REF-1. No extra seats, no unlocks — just support if the reference assistant earned it.

URL: doepesci.com/products/pay-your-conscience

GN-1

Free · utility

Short: Level first · free

URL: doepesci.com/products/gn-1

Free · utility

Short: Cut the mud · free
