STAGE: Gain-staging that measures. A/B that never lies.

Two tools in one plug-in. STAGE sets your level with a single, click-free trim to the target you choose, then links across every channel so one instance can stage the whole mix at once. EVEN lets you compare two chains at exactly matched loudness, even blind, so tone calls are never fooled by volume.

Two tools, one plug-in
Set the level right. Then hear the truth.
STAGE gets your levels honest before you process. EVEN keeps you honest while you do.

STAGE
Automatic gain-staging
STAGE listens to your loudest pass and measures it, the 95th-percentile level, not one stray transient. Then it suggests a single static trim to land that pass on your target. No riding, no pumping, no colour. Peak, RMS, VU or LUFS.

EVEN
Loudness-matched A/B
Louder always sounds better, so a fair A/B has to be level-matched. EVEN gains the two paths to equal perceived loudness, switch blind and vote, then reveal the tally. Judge the sound, never the volume.

Inside STAGE
One measured trim. Nothing else.
A single fixed gain change adds zero colour, zero pumping, zero latency. It is the most transparent thing you can do to a signal, and because it never moves, your mix stays predictable.

01
Measures the loud pass
Always listening, no arm button. A running 95th-percentile level: loud enough to matter, robust against a one-off transient.

02
Your target, your metric
Land the pass on a target in Peak, RMS, VU or LUFS. Quick pills for the analog, streaming, hot and club levels.

03
SOURCE presets
Vocal, Drum, Bass or Master set the target and metric as a pair, and STAGE even guesses the source for you.

04
True-peak safe
After it sets the trim, STAGE runs a 4× oversampled inter-sample check and tells you the post-trim dBTP, green when it survives the codec.

05
Click-free, instant
The trim applies over a 10 ms ramp, so there is never a click, and it adds no latency to your chain.

06
One click stages the whole mix
Every STAGE is a satellite. They link to each other across the session, so one main instance can trigger them all. Hit SET ALL once and every channel lands on its target: a full mix gain-staged in a single click.
