As a result, Unisum delivers transparent, beautiful, and ultra-flexible mastering compression."

Here's more details direct from Tone Projects...

Why We Made It
Every song is different. No mix has the same ups and downs. Unisum embraces the complexity of modern mixing and mastering, and puts the creative control of the dynamic shaping into the hands of the engineer.

As a highly tweakable compressor, Unisum is in stark contrast to both automated “AI” tools and oversimplified one-size-fits-all compressors. We believe that the magic of mastering starts with you, the engineer, being equipped with the right tools to be able to precisely respond to what your ears and emotional understanding tell you is needed, for the most impactful sound. Whether you want to add cohesive glue or movement tailored to the track, shape the dynamic contours, or solve a challenge in the mix, Unisum helps you achieve your goals with precision and integrity.
