Gloss is mixing for producers who never wanted an engineering degree. Tell it what it is hearing, vocal, drums, bass or master, and Gloss tunes everything under the hood for that job. Then you shape the sound with four knobs: CLEAN clears mud and boxiness, PUNCH brings out the hit and snap, GLOW adds the expensive top end, and WIDTH opens the stereo image.
Under the hood it combines EQ shaping, compression and saturation into those four musical controls, so instead of tweaking ten plugins you turn a couple of knobs until the track sits right. The whole time, auto-gain keeps the volume honest, so louder never fools your ears into thinking something improved when it just got loud.

It was built for exactly that. There are no frequency charts, ratios or attack times to learn; the four knobs are the whole manual.
Yes. Pick the master mode and use gentle amounts of GLOW and WIDTH for final polish before mastering.
A channel strip hands you the raw tools: EQ bands, thresholds, ratios. Gloss hands you results. The per-track-type tuning means CLEAN on a vocal does a different job than CLEAN on a bass, so every knob move is already musical.
Gloss is 19 dollars, and it is free to download during the launch window. VST3 and AU for macOS, Windows coming soon.
