Manny Marroquin’s Tone Shaper makes multiband compression easy and shapes the tone and fullness of tracks, buses and masters.

10x Grammy-winning mixer Manny Marroquin (Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Lizzo, Rihanna) has done the prep work so you can quickly shape resonant kicks, sizzling cymbals or fuller bass. The plugin works as a parallel compressor that maintains the sound’s fundamental character, split into four bands with three frequency choices each. Presets by Manny Marroquin and by Tony Maserati and Michael Brauer make it easy to get started.
