SCAT Sauce 3.0.0 · Features
17 tools in six stages, from the first Listen to the file you upload. Each one is shown below exactly as it looks in the plugin.
New in 3.0
Drop an audio file, or a one-shot or sample, on the right half of the Overview, or press Master a file. SCAT Sauce analyzes it on your computer and sets the whole chain in one step. Play it right inside the plugin, press Bypass to compare, and export a mastered WAV.
Listen
Play a representative section, press Listen, and Sauce builds a finished master from your actual audio, then shows you every decision.
Listen
Sauce analyzes a section of your mix against a genre target and sets EQ, dynamics, stereo, color and loudness. Keep the result, nudge it, or start from scratch.
Speaker check
Switch the monitor path to the speakers your listeners actually use, each with its own response and room, and watch the response on your mix.
Reference
Import a finished song or your last bounce, switch it against the SCAT output at matched loudness, and optionally let it guide the next Listen.
Match EQ
Capture a reference and your source, live or from a file, and apply the difference as a smooth correction curve you control.
Tone
Broad musical balance, surgical precision and resonance control, all with a live spectrum underneath.
Dynamic EQ
Six bands that can cut or lift dynamically, triggered by the whole signal, only the transients or only the sustain.
Precision EQ
A second equalizer with multiple filter families, independent routing per band and a choice of minimum or linear phase.
Spectral
A spectral shaper that finds resonances and imbalance as they happen and smooths them only as much as you allow.
Dynamics
Multiband and bus compression, transient shaping and low-end focus, with every gain-reduction trace on screen.
Multiband
Drag the crossovers or let Sauce learn them, then compress, expand or lift each band independently, in stereo or mid/side.
Bus compressor
A mastering bus compressor with adaptive recovery and parallel blend, shown separately from the limiter.
Transient
Four-band attack and sustain control with editable timing and range, plus Low End Focus for tighter kick and bass.
Space & color
Stereo imaging that protects the low end, and harmonic color from subtle to forward.
Stereo
Four-band width with linear-phase crossovers, bass kept in the middle, and meters that tell you when to stop.
Color
Oversampled saturation with three characters and a vintage tape stage for glue and weight.
Finish
A modern maximizer, final dither and a delivery check against every major platform.
Maximizer
A true-peak limiter with upward lift, punch and frequency-selective limiting, so loudness never costs you the transients.
Dither
Final quantization for 16 or 24-bit delivery with optional noise shaping.
Delivery
Loudness history, what every module is doing right now, and a delivery report that checks your master against 11 streaming and broadcast targets and scores how ready it is to release.
Stems & repair
Rebalance a finished stereo file and restore dynamics that were limited away.
Stems
Load the source audio and Sauce prepares four stems you can rebalance and EQ, without needing the session.
Restoration
Prepare the source and Sauce restores dynamics squashed by heavy limiting, with a learned threshold and push beyond 100%.
