DUY Platinum Bundle 15 Mixing and Mastering Plug-ins (Activation Card)

The DUY Platinum Bundle is fifteen of DUY's plug-ins in one purchase. To be precise about what that means, because it matters: DUY describe Platinum as the complete bundle of all their plug-ins EXCEPT two, DaD Vinyl and Time Travel. Those two are not included and are sold separately.

DUY have been making audio plug-ins since 1997 and are a division of DSPATIAL. Their work sits at the physically-modelled and analog-emulation end rather than the corrective end, and it has a long track record in professional mixing and mastering rooms.

The centrepiece is LucidVerb, a hybrid convolution reverb built on a proprietary sonic DNA modeller that renders decorrelated impulse responses at speed and feeds them into real-time convolution, with an overall dynamic range of more than 120 dB.

Alongside it, Dream Dynamics HDa handles loudness optimisation, MAX and Power cover intelligent loudness and limiting, and Analog Bus, DaD Tape and DaD Valve bring tape and tube saturation. Deep Analog EQ, MagicEQ and Magic Spectrum cover equalisation including spectrum matching, and DUY Silence handles noise removal.

Rounding it out are DUY Wide for stereo enhancement, DUY Shape for special effects, Monster Mix, and the DUY31 Suite for room analysis and equalisation, which itself comes in analyzer, graphic and noiser components.

Format: This is a brand new, unregistered activation card with printed instructions. Redeem the code with the manufacturer, download the software, and the licence is yours to keep.

Key Features

• Fifteen plug-ins, and two deliberate exclusions - LucidVerb, Dream Dynamics HDa, Monster Mix, Power, Analog Bus, DaD Tape, DaD Valve, Deep Analog EQ, Wide, MagicEQ, Magic Spectrum, Silence, MAX, Shape and the DUY31 Suite. DaD Vinyl and Time Travel are NOT included, per DUY's own description
• Cheaper than buying the parts - the fifteen come to roughly $2,685 bought separately at current dealer prices, against $1,199 for the bundle
• LucidVerb - a hybrid convolution reverb using a proprietary sonic DNA modeller to render decorrelated impulse responses, with more than 120 dB of overall dynamics
• Dream Dynamics HDa and Power - loudness optimisation and intelligent loudness processing, the part of the catalogue mastering engineers reach for
• Analog Bus, DaD Tape and DaD Valve - bus colour, tape saturation and tube saturation
• Three equalisers including spectrum matching - Deep Analog EQ, MagicEQ and Magic Spectrum, which matches one source's spectrum to another
• DUY Silence and DUY31 Suite - noise removal, and room analysis and equalisation with analyzer, graphic and noiser components
• Native on Apple Silicon and Intel - DUY state the bundle runs natively on both
• One format exception, stated up front - LucidVerb is NOT available as a VST2 plug-in. Every other plug-in in the bundle is AAX, AU, VST and VST3

• Perpetual Licence - bought once and yours to keep, not a subscription. The version you activate keeps working whether or not you ever renew anything
