Processing Controls for Low End, Body and Stereo Width

Pusher is organized around named modules. LOW targets kicks and bass so they drive through the mix. BODY adds fullness to instruments in the mid and high frequencies. MAGIC excites all frequencies and is positioned for drum groups, while the stereo widening function is aimed at narrow mixes that need more width without an artificial sound.

The PUSH stage is the final section, designed to push the mix toward its maximum level with limiting or clipping. Because the processors are combined in one plugin, you can shape the balance of punch, depth and loudness in a single window instead of chaining separate tools.

Who Pusher Is For and Where It Fits

The developer positions Pusher for mastering and final mix work across hip hop, dance, pop and rock. It is most relevant when a mix needs more weight, more definition or more volume at the end of the chain. Producers who want a quick, focused enhancer rather than a full mastering suite will find its limited set of controls a practical fit.

Pusher runs as a plugin inside a digital audio workstation on macOS and Windows. Check the format list before purchase to confirm it matches your host.
