Description

Stardust is Arguru Software’s four-in-one mastering plug-in for Windows VST hosts. Its chain combines bass enhancement around a selected frequency, a switchable 200 Hz pole phase rotator, stereo enhancement with delay, and both eight-band multiband and analog-like wideband compression.

A monitoring display provides four scalable VU meters and an output oscilloscope, while 64-bit internal maths processes a 32-bit stereo input/output path. The compact tool is suited to quick master-bus experiments when you want dynamics, low-end focus, and stereo control in one plug-in.
