A legacy of mastering excellence
Erin Studio represents the evolution of the Erin suite, developed for professional mastering engineers and producers seeking uncompromising sound quality.
Built upon decades of expertise in tube-based high-end audio design, Erin Studio combines the warmth and depth of classic analog systems with the flexibility of modern digital workflows. The original hardware inspiration has been embraced by some of the most iconic artists and engineers in the industry, including Pink Floyd, Lenny Kravitz, Joe Gastwirt, James Guthrie, and Robert Ludwig.
Erin Studio Components
The Erin Studio suite consists of:
- Erin Studio (3D Version)
A ‘Hyper’ 5-band stereo tube equalizer with high and low-shelf filters. Built on a low-noise, high-headroom, and wide-bandwidth passive circuit, making it an ideal mastering tool. The 3D version includes photorealistic design elements that replicate the tactile look of high-end hardware. - Erin Studio Flat (2D Version)
Offers the exact same sound engine and processing capabilities as the 3D version but with a flat, modern design featuring crisp fonts and minimal color coding. Perfect for users who prefer a clean, distraction-free interface while retaining the spirit of the 3D version. - Erin Comp Studio (2D Version)
A mono compressor / brickwall limiter featuring advanced improvements over the original Erin dynamics section. Ideal for precision control of Peak-RMS levels and musical dynamics during mastering

Erin Comp Studio
Erin Comp Studio is a mono tube compressor/limiter, inspired by a rare UK-built unit and optimized for mastering transparency. This modern version expands on the classic design by introducing five mutually exclusive models, each tailored for different dynamics tasks, alongside improved sound quality and optimized performance.
Because of their unique nature, some models provide slightly different sets of controls or behavior, but the operational philosophy remains consistent across all.
