SendBlender Pro

The multidimensional mix control for advanced bus processing.


SendBlender Pro extends the basic concept of SendBlender into the critical dimensions of frequency balance and stereo image, providing powerful ways to manipulate the impact of your other processors, both for subtle fine tuning and in the execution of more radical effects—well beyond what the standard version was designed for.

In our opinion the real power of SendBlender Pro is in the EQ section. The ability to adjust dry/wet mix in targeted frequencies enables a new level of refinement in bus processing. This is a powerful tool to restore dynamics, reduce harshness, and put you in control of your mix.

SendBlender Pro extends the concept of the dry/wet mix knob in ways you didn’t know you needed. Subtle yet powerful adjustments to dynamics and tone that were previously difficult to achieve can now be dialed in quickly and accurately, using processors you already have.

Level Matching

Input signal level matching is offered in version 1.1.

Both automatic and manual level matching workflows are supported. Manual level matching is assisted by input signal level indicators using short term LUFS.

Automatic level matching can be performed with a single click, or engaged via a special “latching mode” which allows continuous loudness matching between the wet & dry signals. Using this mode, parallel effects can be freely manipulated in creative and expressive ways while the plugin ensures consistent signal level.

Crossfade Curves

Linear for blending compression, saturation, and other correlated signals.

Power for blending mostly uncorrelated signals like short reverbs and delays.

Max for blending completely uncorrelated signals like longer reverbs and delays, and crossfading unrelated signals.

Frequency Blending

3 channel cut-only EQ allows selectively reducing wet signal in targeted frequencies.

Dry boost circuit compensates for cuts with boosts in the dry signal to maintain overall frequency balance, effectively providing spectral dry/wet mix control.

Make up gain can be applied manually or automatically to manage changes to loudness due to EQ adjustments.

Modern TPT filters built for artifact-free automation.

Optional linear phase 2x oversampling can be enabled to de-cramp high frequencies.

Mid/Side Blending

Adjust blend amount in either the mid or side channels to affect processing across the stereo image.

Other Features

  • Unique signal routing scheme via sidechain input for maximum compatibility with DAWs & 3rd party plugins. Either wet or dry signal can be routed via sidechain input. *
  • Blend level can be set directly or by entering desired dry/wet attenuation.
  • Bypass switch routes dry signal only to the plugin output.

* AAX format routing differs since sidechains are mono in Pro Tools. See the manual for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy FreqBlender or SendBlender Pro?
These plugins cover some of the same ground but also have unique strengths. FreqBlender is more streamlined and better tuned for broad strokes tone & dynamics shaping. SendBlender Pro has more filter types and enables surgical adjustments. It is best to try both and see what suits you! FreqBlender will probably be more approachable for most people, so if in doubt you may want to start there.

What is your refund policy?
It is always best to do a free trial before buying, but if for any reason you are unhappy with your plugin, we will gladly issue a refund within 30 days of purchase. Please contact us to request a refund.
