The Best Mixing & Mastering Plugins of 2025 — The Supercut (Part I)
This is Part I of the Supercut, a condensed, fast-paced overview that brings together all plugins featured throughout my Best Plugins of the year series. Instead of individual deep dives, this Supercut focuses on flow and continuity, highlighting the tools that truly mattered in your mixing and mastering sessions this year.
The full video is way longer then I thought, so I decided to split it into two parts. Part I covers the foundation: compressors, channel strips, equalizers, reverbs, and delays; the core tools for balance, depth, and control in a mix.
No rankings, no hype, just quick impressions, musical context, and practical relevance.
The plugins featured come from some of the most respected developers in the industry, including Solid State Logic, Universal Audio, Waves Audio, Kiive Audio, Korneff Audio, and Plugin Alliance, among many others. And if I forgot to add your favorit plugin, feel free to write it in the comments.
👉 Part II continues the Supercut with saturation, color, loudness, and creative wild cards - where things get more character-driven and experimental.
