Technical Details & Compatibility

This page outlines supported platforms, plugin configurations, pricing differences, and special cases for Custom Processing Presets so expectations are clear before purchasing.

The Custom Processing Preset is defined by its processing framework and outcome, not by a fixed list of plugins used in every scenario.

Important Before You Purchase

The $600 public checkout page is for the Standard configuration.

If you require a non-standard plugin configuration (such as DAW stock plugins only or UAD-only plugins), please contact me before purchasing so I can provide the appropriate checkout link.

Standard Configuration (Core Processing Framework)

The Standard configuration represents the most efficient and repeatable Custom Processing Preset workflow and is the default option used for most clients.

It is built around a core processing framework that establishes the tonal balance, dynamic control, and overall sound you heard in your custom demo.

The core tone-shaping and dynamics are achieved using:

  • Waves F6 Dynamic EQ
  • Waves Scheps Omni Channel

This core framework defines the Standard configuration.

Optional restoration tools (such as noise reduction, de-reverb, or de-click) may be added when appropriate for your specific recording. These tools are used to support clarity and consistency without altering the intended sound or processing approach.

If restoration tools are included, your preset is still considered a Standard configuration as long as the core processing framework remains intact.

This configuration is included in the standard $600 Custom Processing Preset and represents the most balanced and flexible solution.

Plugin compatibility note:
Because the preset consists of plugin settings (not audio files), the required plugins must be installed and supported by your DAW.

These plugins are available as free trials. I strongly recommend downloading and opening the trial versions in your DAW before purchasing to ensure they load and run correctly on your system.

Plugin & Platform Compatibility

The Standard configuration uses VST3-compatible plugins and works on both Mac and PC, provided your DAW supports those plugins in real time.

Compatibility depends on:

  • The plugins running correctly on your system
  • Your DAW supporting those plugins

Before purchasing, it’s strongly recommended that you confirm plugin compatibility by opening the trial versions inside your DAW.

Supported Platforms & Special Configurations

Logic Pro — Stock Plugins Only

Price: $600 (no additional charge)

Logic Pro’s stock plugins allow for effective tonal shaping and dynamics control.

Note: Logic Pro does not include dedicated real-time restoration tools. If restoration is required, external plugins may be recommended.

How to proceed:
You may proceed using the standard $600 checkout page.

Adobe Audition — Stock Plugins Only

Price: $800 (includes $200 configuration surcharge)

This configuration requires additional build and delivery time.

Audition’s real-time restoration tools are limited, and external plugins are often recommended for best results.

How to proceed:
Please contact me before purchasing so I can provide the appropriate checkout link.

Universal Audio (UAD) Plugins Only

Price: $900 (includes $300 configuration surcharge)

UAD-only configurations are supported on a case-by-case basis and depend on the plugins available in your UAD library.

Final feasibility is confirmed after purchase.

How to proceed:
Please contact me before purchasing so I can provide the appropriate checkout link.

Unsupported Configurations

Audacity (Any Configuration)

Audacity is not supported due to inconsistent compatibility with third-party plugins across systems. Reliable installation and repeatable performance cannot be guaranteed.

About Additional Plugin Recommendations

In some situations, achieving the sound you heard in your custom demo may require additional corrective tools such as noise reduction, de-reverb, or de-click processing.

If additional plugins are recommended:

  • The reason will be explained clearly
  • Compatibility will be confirmed
  • Any additional requirements will be discussed before finalizing the preset

There are no surprise changes after purchase.

Recording Consistency & Best Results

A Custom Processing Preset is built around a specific recording setup and capture behavior, based on the raw audio sample you submitted.

For best and most predictable results, consistency matters:

  • Microphone and interface
  • Recording level
  • Microphone position and orientation in the room
  • Mic distance and room acoustics

Even small changes—such as moving the microphone, rotating it, or changing where it’s positioned in the room—will alter how the preset responds.

The preset is designed to reproduce the results you heard in your demo when the recording conditions closely match the original capture.

Significant changes to these factors will affect how the preset responds.

About the Included Revision

Each Custom Processing Preset includes one revision, valid for up to one year from the date of purchase.

The revision exists as an insurance update if reasonable changes occur (studio move, added treatment, capture improvements).

The revision is not intended to create a new sound or rebuild the preset using an entirely different processing approach.

Still Not Sure?

If your workflow or setup isn’t covered here, it’s best to ask before purchasing so expectations are clear on both sides.
