Why VS-E97
Bigger bass, no mud
BASS SOUND goes from soft and deep to tight and punchy, and BASS COMPRESSION keeps what it adds even.
Clearer, with a sparkling top
The mid-high process, tuned from 22 kHz down to 1.1 kHz, brings detail forward. LC-EQ places the high lift and INTENSITY sets how much.
Wider, still solid
STEREO EXPANDER opens the sides, and the stereo scope shows the image as it grows.
Bigger, clearer, wider.
One panel for the bass, the mid-highs, the top and the width, and a display that shows what it adds.

Measured live
See what it adds
The process curve is measured from the plugin at your settings and drawn over the spectrum, with BASS, MID-HI and INTENSITY marked.
What VS-E97 does
Bass, mid-highs, top and width: every control has one job.
DRIVE
Set how hard it works
The level into the processing, in dB: more drive, more effect.
BASS SOUND and BASS COMPRESSION
Bigger bass, no mud
BASS SOUND from SOFT, a round, deep boost, to TIGHT, a firmer, punchier one. BASS COMPRESSION keeps what it adds even.
MID-HI TUNE
Clearer, never harsh
Where the mid-high process works, from 22 kHz down to 1.1 kHz, to bring detail forward.
PROCESS
The main amount
How much of the bass and mid-high processing is added to the mix.
LC-EQ and INTENSITY
A sparkling top
LC-EQ places the high lift, LOW to HIGH; INTENSITY sets how much it lifts the top end.
STEREO EXPANDER
Wider, still solid
Turns the side signal up to widen the image; the stereo scope shows it.
The display
See what it adds
The readings, the process curve measured live over the spectrum, and a stereo scope with the left-right correlation. Hide it when you are done.
One analog unit, built in
The small differences of real hardware
VS-E97 carries the small part tolerances of a single analog unit, each side its own, in every setting. One fixed unit: nothing to choose, nothing to set up.

How VS-E97 compares
It works on how you hear the mix, not just on its EQ.
| VS-E97 | Typical enhancer plugins | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | On how you hear the mix: bass, mid-highs, top and width | An EQ boost in one place |
| Bass | Soft and deep to tight and punchy, with its own compression | A low boost that can turn to mud |
| Mids and highs | A process you tune from 22 kHz down to 1.1 kHz | One fixed high band |
| The very top | LC-EQ places the lift, INTENSITY sets how much | A high shelf that adds harshness |
| Width | STEREO EXPANDER, with a stereo scope to watch it | A separate widener |
| Seeing the change | The process curve, measured live over the spectrum | Knobs only |
| Analog character | One analog unit, built in, each side its own | Both sides identical |
"Typical" describes what we commonly see in this category; it does not describe any particular product. VS-E97 facts are from the plugin and its manual, October 2026.

Questions
What does VS-E97 do?
It is a psychoacoustic enhancer: it works on how you hear a mix rather than simply adding EQ. It deepens or tightens the bass, opens the mids and highs, lifts the very top and widens the image, so a mix comes up bigger, clearer and wider.
Which sources is it for?
Masters, buses and samples most of all, and any track that sounds small or closed next to a record.
How is it different from an EQ?
An EQ boost makes a mix louder in one place and harsher in another. VS-E97 shapes the bass, the mid-highs, the top and the stereo width together, with PROCESS setting how much of the bass and mid-high processing is added.
What is the difference between ACTIVE and POWER?
ACTIVE switches the processing in or out with a short crossfade to the time-aligned dry signal. POWER switches the whole plugin in or out.
What does "one analog unit, built in" mean?
VS-E97 carries the small part tolerances of a single analog unit, each side its own, in every setting. It is one fixed unit: there is no unit selector and nothing to set up.
Which formats and systems does it run on?
VST3 and AAX on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit); VST3, AU and AAX on macOS 11 or later. It works in any 64-bit DAW that loads VST3, AU or AAX plugins.
Does it add latency?
16 samples, reported to your DAW so everything stays in time. Switched off, the bypass stays in time too.
What if it is not for me?
You have 90 days. Request a refund from your account within 90 days of buying.
Founder's Story
"When COVID hit, I finally had time to dive into music production—only to discover I was missing the right tools. The plugins I tried were clunky, overloaded with unnecessary features, and killed my vibe with endless tweaking. I knew there had to be a better way.
So, with my engineering background, I started making free and simple audio plugins for my producer friends. They loved them! That’s when I set out on a mission to create plugins that save you time, streamline your workflow, and keep your creativity flowing."
