Key Features
The Slate Digital Virtu is an automated mastering assistant plugin that lets you take your tracks from mixed to mastered with genre-specific processing. Designed as the final step after mixing, Virtu analyses your stereo bounce and applies genre-specific processing to achieve a balanced, release-ready master. Choose a style profile and loudness target to suit your track, or import a reference song to guide tonal balance and perceived loudness. Advanced controls let you fine-tune EQ, compression, and stereo width, so you’re not locked into a one-click result. Running natively on your machine, Virtu offers real-time preview, full-length A/B comparison, and local saves, making it easy to refine decisions as you work. It’s a practical solution for consistent, competitive masters without breaking your creative flow.

Virtu streamlines mastering by analysing key signal characteristics such as peak level, RMS, average loudness, and frequency balance. This intelligent process sets EQ curves, multiband compression behaviour, and limiting based on your track’s needs. The result is a clear starting point that respects your mix while preparing it for modern playback levels. For producers working across multiple sessions, this consistency helps speed up turnaround without relying on guesswork.
Genre profiles give Virtu a musical direction before processing begins. By selecting a style and loudness target, you’re guiding the plugin towards a tonal balance and dynamic range that fits your track’s context. You can also go further by loading a WAV reference track, allowing Virtu to match both EQ curve and loudness profile. It’s a practical way to compare your work against releases you trust.
While Virtu is automated at its core, it still gives you control where it matters. Adjust overall frequency balance by shaping highs and lows, choose compression characters ranging from balanced to more punchy or aggressive, and fine-tune stereo width for extra space. These controls are built on expertly calibrated curves and dynamics inspired by familiar Slate Digital processing tools.
Virtu Desktop runs directly on your computer with real-time preview, full-length A/B comparison, and local project saves. There’s no waiting for renders or external processing, so decisions stay immediate and repeatable. When used alongside Virtu Web, settings remain aligned, keeping the same DSP, genre targets, and loudness presets across platforms. This keeps mastering flexible, whether you’re refining at home or checking results online.
"Virtu checks all the boxes, giving you some powerful options to create a great sounding result with an intuitive interface. Super impressed." - Ryan Huntley Andrews (Call Of Duty Series, Stranger Things, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness)
