I'm Streaky, a professional engineer from the UK. I make videos sharing what I've learned over 30 years of engineering.

I've worked at major London studios including Metropolis and Battery, and my credits include UK number-one singles from Lily Allen, Shanks & Bigfoot and Chipmunk, plus work with Paul Weller, Skepta, Groove Armada, Kasabian, Krept & Konan, Taio Cruz, JME, Giggs, Naughty Boy and The Manor.

The original Colorbox plugin is discontinued. See why Colorbox 2 is the replacement for your master bus plugin.

Thousands of producers have relied on the original Colorbox plugin for their master bus processing. Today, that version is being retired to make way for a complete overhaul. This audio plugin review demonstrates exactly what has changed under the hood. If you use mixing plugins, this is the essential update you need to understand before continuing your workflow.

I have rebuilt every component of this software to ensure it meets modern standards. Rather than just talking about the technical specs, I am going to dial it in live so you can hear the difference immediately. Whether you are looking for subtle saturation or heavy character for your tracks, these music production tools provide a fresh approach to mastering. I will compare the updated sound quality against the legacy version, giving you a clear idea of how this VST plugin update fits into your current session templates.

Subscribe for weekly audio engineering breakdowns, and let me know in the comments if you have any questions about the new features.
