Stesso

A transparent mastering equaliser built around a draggable curve over a live spectrum. Up to twenty-four bands, eight filter types and slopes from a gentle 6 to a surgical 96 dB per octave — broad tone-shaping and tight problem-solving from one clean panel.

What it does

DRAG THE CURVE

Shape it by hand

Drop a node anywhere on the response and drag it — frequency and gain under the cursor, Q on the scroll wheel. The whole EQ is one interactive curve drawn straight over the spectrum.

24 BANDS · 8 TYPES

From broad to surgical

Up to twenty-four bands and eight filter shapes — bell, low and high shelf, high- and low-pass, notch and more — with slopes from a gentle 6 to a razor 96 dB per octave.

PRE / POST SPECTRUM

See what you hear

A real-time analyser shows the signal before and after the EQ behind the curve, so every move is informed — find the resonance, then place the band exactly on it.

L/R · MID/SIDE

Per-band stereo

Set any band to process the full stereo, just the left or right, or the mid or the sides — de-ess only the centre, brighten only the width, tame a channel imbalance.

PRECISION DSP

Clean and true

A precise, independently verified filter core — the response you draw is the response you get, transparent enough for the master bus and sharp enough to fix a problem.

WORKFLOW

Made to master

A clean, resizable interface with a readable grid, solo-listen per band to audition a move, gain matching and a preset browser for your own mastering chains.
