Toned is a dedicated tone shaping plugin designed to enhance mastering workflows and two-track audio busses. It features a unique combination of a three-band tone-shaping matrix and a specially crafted high pass filter that allows precise control over the tonal balance. The plugin’s analog modeling engine adds warmth and character, simulating the subtle nuances of high-end hardware gear. This makes Toned an effective tool for refining audio with smooth, natural-sounding equalization.

The core of Toned’s equalization lies in its three-band matrix, which uses gentle, crossover-style filters to deliver broad and musical tone adjustments with minimal phase impact. This approach allows wide boosts and cuts while maintaining a natural sound, emulating the interactions typical of passive analog EQs. Users can apply the tone shaping to stereo channels or isolate the mid or side channels, with the option to switch to a two-band configuration for simplified control. Complementing this is a finely tuned high pass filter focusing on low and sub bass frequencies, adjustable with precision to sculpt the low end without unwanted artifacts.

Beyond tone shaping, Toned offers advanced features such as feedback control to mimic negative feedback found in analog amplifiers, enhancing its authentic analog character. It also supports delay and phase compensated mix control, along with detailed input and output metering that includes peak and loudness indicators. The plugin operates with high internal precision and oversampling to ensure audio quality, and its interface provides fine and superfine control with A-B comparison for efficient workflow. Compatible with multiple plugin formats across Windows and macOS, Toned integrates seamlessly into various production environments.
