IMPORTANT - We are now simplifying AnalogX models to be either Standard (Previously Gold++) or High Quality (Previously Ethereum++) - we will be updating the site with these changes over the next weeks.

The Secret Sauce of Pro Mastering Chains
AnalogX proudly presents Master Bus Magic & Alpha Compressor Emulations — a ready-to-roll mastering suite based on the coveted Magic G*rd*n Chain and the pristine Alpha VCA Compressor. Captured from a real-world mastering rig used by top engineers in LA, this pack delivers the final 5% polish most mixes never reach.

No fluff, no gimmicks. Just true high-end tone and cohesive glue — now modelled in our High Quality (formerly Ethereum++) neural engine for near analog realism and real-time dynamic response.

🎚️ What’s Inside

• Master Bus Magic Chain
  A complete signal path from one of LA’s most revered mastering rooms, delivering instant clarity, width, and cohesion.
• Alpha Compressor (Standalone)
  Includes Feedforward and Feedback compression styles, Auto Attack/Release behaviour, and a gentle high-pass sidechain filter for bass-friendly control.

Each emulation is sampled at 96kHz, modelled at 48kHz for Genesis, and powered by our High Quality architecture — balancing tonal depth with real-time performance (~1.7% CPU stereo, ~0.7% mono).

🧬 A Brief History
The Magic Bus Chain is one of those behind-the-scenes legends — a carefully curated combo of elite mastering-grade tools, transformer-balanced routing, and subtle harmonic shaping. Developed and refined by one of LA’s most trusted mastering engineers, it became known for its ability to add final gloss and width without hype or harshness.

At the centre of this chain lies the Alpha Compressor — a boutique VCA unit renowned for pristine sonics, exceptional headroom, and flexible dynamic behavior. Its switchable Feedforward and Feedback paths allowed engineers to toggle between surgical and vintage-style compression, while the subtle high-pass sidechain helped maintain punch and low-end clarity.

Thanks to Genesis and AnalogX’s deep-capture modelling, this exact signal path now lives in your DAW.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• ✅ Instant Mastering Polish – No need to stack plugins — load and go
• ✅ Dual Compression Modes – Transparent or vintage-style behaviour
• ✅ Built for the Master Bus – Refined dynamics, width, and tone
• ✅ High Quality Modelling – Rich, analog-style response with zero artefacts
• ✅ Free for Genesis owners — no dongles, no fuss

Near analog… we don’t pretend to be analog, we don't market our products as analog, but we think we are nearer than most — we’ll let the user decide.
