Yellow Audio Suite. Learn one, know all six.
Six mixing plugins for your Mac, built around one simple idea: you should be able to see what a plugin is doing to your sound.
Gain, EQ, compressor, limiter, gate and delay. Big black faders, bright yellow handles, and live meters and curves where they help. Use them in Logic Pro, GarageBand or any app that hosts Audio Unit plugins, or try them straight away on any audio your Mac is playing.
Coming soon to the Mac App Store.
macOS 14.2 or later
Yellow Gain Stage: Fuller tracks, peaks intact.
Parallel compression on just the frequency band you pick, blended back in with the dry signal. Quiet details come forward while transients stay natural.
- Two-handle band fader with editable Hz values
- Band slopes from 6 to 48 dB/oct
- One GAIN fader sets how much to blend in
- IN and OUT meters show the lift
Yellow EQ Stage: Shape your tone by dragging the curve.
A five-band EQ with a response graph you can grab.
- Steep high-pass and low-pass filters, 6 to 48 dB/oct
- Three fully parametric bands, up to ±18 dB
- Drag a dot to set frequency and gain, two-finger scroll over it to make it wider or narrower
- Every band also has its own faders for exact settings
Yellow Compressor Stage: See every dB of compression.
A soft-knee compressor that shows its work.
- Live gain-reduction meter with a two-second average line
- Compression curve with live IN and OUT dots
- The last five seconds of signal, before and after
- Threshold, ratio, knee, attack, release and makeup
- One-click auto makeup gain
Yellow Limiter Stage: Louder, without the pumping.
A peak limiter for the end of your chain.
- Up to 10 ms of lookahead catches peaks before they clip
- A two-stage release keeps the level steady
- Exact output ceiling from −6 to 0 dB, with a soft knee
- Live gain-reduction meter, limiter curve and signal view
- Reports its lookahead to your host, so tracks stay in sync
Yellow Gate Stage: Cut the noise between hits.
A gate for drums, vocals and guitar amps that closes softly instead of chopping.
- Threshold, range, knee, attack, hold and release
- HOLD keeps natural decays intact
- RANGE goes from a gentle dip to full silence
- AUTO release adapts to how far the signal drops
- Live meter, gate curve and signal view
Yellow Delay Stage: Thicker vocals without a second take.
Not an echo: a short-delay doubler.
- Two taps between 1 and 50 ms, panned left and right
- SPREAD pushes them apart for stereo width
- RATE and DEPTH add gentle movement, so the double feels played, not copied
- FEEDBACK, TONE from dark to bright, and MIX
