Maniac Audio Bundle

Maniac Audio Bundle

The complete Maniac Audio collection — a full mixing and mastering toolkit of professional compressors, EQs, reverbs, delays, limiters, gates, and channel tools, all built from scratch in modern C++ with high-quality oversampled DSP, transformer modeling, and a consistent dark, focused interface. From classic vintage emulations to clean modern processors, the bundle covers everything you need to take a track from raw recording to finished master.

• DarkLim — True-peak brickwall limiter with lookahead, character modes, and LUFS match.
• DarkGate — Drum-focused noise gate with instrument profiles and spectral DeBleed.

EQs

• DarkTube — Tube passive program EQ (Pultec/Tube-Tech style) with warm valve coloration.

Reverb

• DarkLXPro — Professional 16-line FDN algorithmic reverb with 8 algorithms, shimmer, freeze, EQ & saturation.

Delay

Channel / preamp

• DarkPre — Preamp/console saturation with a large library of mic-pre and console models, output EQ, and transformer color.
• DarkMic — Virtual microphone system that re-voices your source mic into a large library of classic studio mics.
