Virtu Desktop
The deal
$49.50 at Pluginfox (down from $99.00), 50% off. Deal runs through August 17, 2026.
What it is
Virtu Desktop is an AI-assisted mastering plugin from Slate Digital that analyzes a stereo mix and applies professional mastering processing built around genre-specific profiles. It pairs automated tonal balance and loudness matching with manual controls modeled after Slate Digital's FG-Dynamics, FG-2A, and FG-Stress processors, so a mix can be run through an initial master and then refined by ear. A reference-track feature lets the plugin match the EQ and loudness character of a song you already know, and it runs as a desktop plugin (AAX, AU, VST2, VST3) rather than a browser-based service.
Who it's for
Producers and mixing engineers who want a fast, professional-sounding master without hiring an outside mastering engineer, and anyone who wants a solid reference-matched starting point before doing manual tweaks.
Key features
- Genre-specific mastering profiles tailor the processing chain to different styles of music
- Reference track upload matches EQ and loudness to a song of your choice
- Adjustable frequency balance, compression presets (Neutral, Punch, Aggressive), and stereo widening give hands-on control over the automated master
- Real-time preview and full-length A/B comparison make it easy to check results, with unlimited exports and no token limits
