Tony Maserati Signature Series

7 plugins that deliver Grammy-winning mixing chains

Mixing Chains for Vocals and Instruments from Bowie, Beyoncé, Biggie Mixer

Tony Maserati helped develop the New York R&B and hip hop scene in the 1990s, by shaping the sounds of The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, and many more. But he didn’t stop there. Today, he’s behind billions of streams by artists as diverse as Beyoncé, Bowie, Jay Z, BØRNS, Selena Gomez, and Alicia Keys.

His ability to turn an artist’s inspiration into a hit is why these plugins are the fast track to great sounds: they’re powerful yet simple, focused yet versatile. Now, let Tony handle your inspiration.

Enhance Your Mix by Enhancing Every Track

3 Studio Environments for Vocals

Maserati knows that with vocals, one size does not fit all—so VX1 creates the sound of three desirable studio environments. Go from squeezing out subtleties with clarity, to engulfing vocals in full, textured productions.

Give Acoustic Guitars Energy and Focus

The days of acoustic guitars being lost in the mix are over. For rhythm or lead, choose whether ACG Acoustic Guitar Designer gives your guitar punch, drive, shimmer, shine, space, tone, or excitement—or all of them.

Bring Out the Best in Buses and Groups

GRP’s curated EQ and compression settings are designed for background vocals, drums, loops, strings, layered guitars, and stems. “Glue” sounds together, to meld individual tracks into a cohesive, unified whole.

Shape Guitar Sounds Before the Amp

Maybe you don’t need to change guitars—but change the sound and texture of the guitar you’re using. GTi is like a “front end” for sims that adds realism, feel, and character, along with specially selected effects.

Enrich and Lift Your Mix’s Keyboards

HMX brings new textures, ambience, and imaging to keyboard instruments, from acoustic pianos to polysynths. Widen instrument imaging, emphasize attacks, and give static keyboards energy and movement.

Pump Up Drum Power in Thick Mixes

DRM leverages multiple controls for individual drums: kick, snare top, snare bottom, hi-hats, toms, overheads, and room mics. Fine-tune each drum track, to create a monster-sounding kit that fuses with any mix.

The Bottom Line for Bass

B72 is the ideal touch-up tone tool for electric, acoustic, and synth bass. Use DI mode to shape the sound with hi and low EQ, or synth mode to add width, buzz, and color to synths—as well as novel flavors to any kind of bass.

Maserati ACG

There’s nothing like a driving acoustic guitar to push a song’s rhythm, or solo picking for expressive leads. But in a dense mix, acoustic instruments can end up getting buried. This multi-effect chain plugin by master mixer Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Jason Mraz, David Bowie) helps you solve that.

Prioritize level and tone for rhythm, or nuances for leads, with two modes. Then, shape the sound further with punch, mid and hi EQ, reverb, and exciter—for a guitar sound with focus and energy.

Maserati B72

Designed for both and synth bass, Maserati B72 is the ideal touch-up tool for tone. DI mode, optimized for electric or acoustic bass, shapes the sound with high and low EQ. Synth mode adds width, buzz, and color to synths, but also gives novel flavors to any kind of bass.

Created in close collaboration with Grammy-winning mixer Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Jason Mraz, Alicia Keys), B72 makes it easy to get fullness and character, from hip hop to pop and rock.

Maserati DRM

DRM leverages its THUMP, SNAP, and TREBLE controls for individual drums: kick, snare top, snare bottom, hi-hats, toms, overheads, and room mics. Fine-tune every drum in a multi-output drum module to create a monster-sounding kit that fits into any mix—no matter how thick.

Designed in close association with Grammy winner Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Jason Mraz, David Bowie), Maserati DRM will help you help your drums stand out even in the busiest mixes.

Maserati GRP

There are plenty of effects for individual tracks and sounds, but Maserati GRP—created with Grammy-winner mixer Tony Maserati (Beyoncé)—addresses the crucial need to bring out the best in group channels: “glue” sounds together to turn individual tracks into a cohesive whole.

GRP is for background vocals, drums, layered guitars, strings, and the like. Loops and stems also benefit from being treated as a single entity, thanks to curated EQ and compression settings.

Maserati GTi

If your guitar had more controls than just tone and volume, they’d probably be the ones in GTi—a different type of guitar processor from Grammy winner Tony Maserati. It’s not an amp sim or a pedalboard, but a toolkit for solid guitar sounds that can slide right into a mix, or drive an amp.

GTi is faithful to your guitar’s essence, but also dials up versatile, inspiring tones. From clean, commanding timbres, to chorusing that ranges from subtle to deep, GTi takes your guitar further.

Maserati HMX

HMX from Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Jason Mraz, David Bowie) brings new textures, ambience, and imaging to keyboard instruments—from acoustic piano to polysynths. Those same qualities can also augment other sound sources, like drums.

MODAL mode widens instruments and emphasizes harmonics and attacks, while BOUNCE mode creates energy and movement by combining reverb and delay. Both bring new life to keyboards.

Maserati VX1

Contour 1 provides the sound of studio recording, 2 is a larger chamber, and 3 is a small room with delay optimized for uptempo songs. These aren’t just different reverb or delay settings, but involve incorporating the right effects for squeezing out subtleties, or engulfing vocals in a full production.

Created in close collaboration with Grammy winner Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Jason Mraz, Robin Thicke, more), this is the easiest way to bring his platinum vocal sounds into your studio.
