The Pulsar Audio Mastering Bundle Black Friday deal covers a full mastering chain of analog-modeled plugins for $189, which is 57% off, with the offer ending Dec 7, 2026.
The maker calls it a complete analog-modeled mastering chain. It is aimed at engineers and producers who want studio-quality masters with analog personality.
The bundle holds four plugins:
The maker says that together they cover everything you need to finalize a track, from gentle tonal shaping to bus glue.
MP-EQ is an emulation of an analog EQ the maker says is found in almost every mastering studio worldwide. Its design draws on the strongest passive equalizers made over roughly the last seven decades.
Its fully parallel topology means the bands interact with each other. The maker says this gives a more musical overall response than a digital EQ with the same settings.
VM-COMP is a tube compressor/limiter emulation of a modern yet legendary hardware unit. Variable-bias tube compressors give smooth gain control and glue buses, mixes and masters together.
The maker says its Topology Preservation Technology makes it sound objectively identical to the hardware in every production context. It also adds visual sidechain EQ editing and extended timing ranges.
The 8200 recreates the Class-A analog circuitry of the GML 8200, a staple since the 80s. Its parallel topology and unique filters give smooth, natural curves that keep the analog warmth.
On the master bus it can open up the sides and focus the center of your mix. A tilt feature shifts the tonal balance of the whole mix in one move.
The W495 is a mastering equalizer with just three bands, built for faster mix balancing. The maker says it can broaden the whole soundstage without turning harsh, even at extreme settings.
It is described as transparent and easy to use, which makes it a quick pass for final tonal adjustments.
Each plugin has its own job in the signal chain. Pulsar describes the 8200 as clean and transparent for subtle shaping, and the W495 as giving warm, analog-style EQ curves for tonal richness.
The maker adds that the plugins integrate seamlessly and have modern features. Handling a master with this set is, in Pulsar's words, a matter of clarity and precision.
If you want to finish a track in the box without leaving one maker's tools, this bundle puts compression and three different EQ approaches in one purchase.
