The Mastering Console V2 Black Friday deal from Safari Audio is 37% off, which sets this mastering plugin at $49 until Nov 30, 2026.
Mastering Console V2 is a complete analog-style mastering chain in a single window. The maker's pitch for the signal flow is filter, saturate, EQ, de-ess, limit, done.
It suits master buses and sub-mixes, anywhere your tracks need a final pass before the bounce.
The chain starts with Low and High cut filters. Both have selectable slopes, so you can clean up the extremes before anything else touches the signal.
Next comes the Tube Sat stage. It has its own Clean to Hot range and a saturation filter, which means you can limit the saturation to the part of the spectrum you actually want to push.
The Bax EQ covers broad shelves at 40 Hz and 12 kHz. The maker describes it as the tool for tonal tilts that are hard to hear while you move them.
The M-S Matrix balances Mid against Side. A built-in De-Esser has Amount and Frequency controls plus its own gain-reduction meter, and it tames harshness before the signal reaches the limiter.
The final stage is a true-peak limiter with its own input drive and metering.
A large VU meter pair sits beside it, switchable between IN, GR and OUT, so you can see what the chain is doing at each point.
The V2 update brings several changes:
Level matching matters in mastering because a louder version nearly always sounds better. Smart Gain and Link Gain handle that, and A/B compare lets you flip between the processed and original signal.
The LUFS readout gives you a short-term loudness number without opening a separate meter, so you can keep an eye on level as you dial in the limiter.
Mastering Console V2 is a mastering plugin that keeps everything in a single window, with the signal moving left to right from the cut filters to the limiter and a pair of VU meters.
Yes. The Mastering Console V2 Black Friday deal takes 37% off this Safari Audio mastering plugin, bringing it to $49 until Nov 30, 2026.
It is a full mastering chain in one window: Low and High cut filters, Tube Sat saturation, Bax EQ, an M-S Matrix, a De-Esser, and a true-peak limiter with input drive, plus a VU meter pair.
Tube Sat adds weight with its own Clean to Hot range and a saturation filter. The filter lets you apply the saturation only to the part of the spectrum you choose, instead of the whole signal.
V2 adds improved Low and High cut filters, Smart Gain and Link Gain, A/B compare, a short-term LUFS readout, and a new oversampling algorithm. It also has a redesigned interface with a new preset system.
