My new go-to
Simple interface, sounds great, and it's on every master I do now. Worth it.
Great, would love more presets
Sounds excellent and very easy to use. Only wish there were a few more starting presets for different genres.

Tight Arse review: mastering engineer first impressions
A customer walks through using Tight Arse on a mix bus and notes how quickly it tightened the low end.

So I've been using Tight Arse for about a month now on my mix bus, and the first thing I noticed was how quickly it pulls the low end together. I dropped it on a track that had a bit of a flabby bottom end, and within a couple of moves it was sounding tight and controlled. The interface is really simple, which I appreciate, because I don't want to be fiddling with twenty parameters when I'm trying to finish a master. It's become a regular part of my chain.

Let me play you the mix without Tight Arse first, and then with it engaged. You can hear that without it, the kick and bass are fighting a little, and there's some looseness down low. With Tight Arse in, everything snaps into place. It's not a dramatic, obvious effect, it's more that the whole bottom end just feels more solid and intentional. That's exactly what I want from a tool like this on a master.
