End Game

The deal

$99 at Plugin Boutique (down from $149), 34% off. The sale runs through October 4, 2026.

What it is

End Game is a three-stage mastering chain from SoundHive Plugins that combines enhancement, clipping, and limiting into a single loudness maximizer. Rather than relying on one aggressive limiter to do all the work, each stage handles a smaller, more musical task, which is meant to help the plugin hold onto punch, low end, and a sense of space as it pushes loudness up. It's built for the final stage of mastering or mix-bus processing, where the goal is competitive volume without an obviously squashed sound.

Who it's for

Mastering engineers and mix engineers who want one plugin to finish a track and hit competitive streaming or club loudness targets without flattening the dynamics or losing low-end weight.

Key features

• The Enhance stage offers three styles (Bloom, Detail, Inflate) for adding harmonic density and lifting detail before the signal hits the loudness stages
• The Clip stage adds four clipping styles plus Drive and Low Protect controls to shave transients before the limiter
• The Limit stage includes six program-aware styles (Safe, Silk, Transparent, Glue, Punchy, Aggressive) for shaping how the final ceiling behaves
• Oversampling up to 16x with True Peak detection, Mid/Side processing, and built-in LUFS and loudness-range metering round out the workflow, with ALL, TAB, and STRIP views for switching between a full overview and a focused single-stage layout
