CLIPPER / LIMITER / TRUE PEAK / DITHER
SONR / Core control
Before the modules even open
Built around the source.
The main SONR panel is designed to get you moving before you ever open a module. Choose the source, shape the response, add weight or impact, then use the filters creatively to bring elements in and out of the mix without breaking flow.
SONR
Turn up SONR.
The main SONR control brings the chosen Source and Character response forward in one move, giving you more of the processing SONR has shaped for that sound.
SOURCE-AWARE / CHARACTER-DEPENDENT PROCESSING
SONR / MASTER
MIXING + MASTERING
The mix isn't where
SONR stops.
A workflow built for release-ready masters.
Switch to Master and SONR changes with you — from tonal balance, saturation and stereo control through to low-end management, final EQ, clipping, limiting and delivery.

SONR / ARTIST TESTIMONIALS
IN THE STUDIO
What the artists are saying.
Real feedback from artists and producers using SONR in their own production and mastering workflow.
“SONR by MAG is one of those plugins you can reach for instantly. It’s intuitive, easy to use, and gives you everything you need to polish your sound or quickly fix common issues without overcomplicating things. I especially love the compression and limiter. They make it easy to get great results without overdoing it. Dry leads in, polished leads out, straight into your reverb and delay sends. It really is that simple. A fantastic all-in-one channel strip that’ll be a permanent part of my workflow for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
“Tried the SONR plugin, and I’m honestly amazed by what it can do! It makes everything sound fuller, wider, and more present—all in one plugin. It also delivers great results on the master chain. With only a turn on the Big Knob This one’s definitely earning a spot on every group channel from now on!”
“SONR is everything we envisioned and more. We’ve brought together the tools we believe are essential for a faster, more creative workflow and professional-quality results. We couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out.”
SONR / LEARN

SONR / FAQ
BEFORE YOU BUY
Questions, answered.
The practical stuff — what SONR is for, where it fits in the workflow and what changes when you move from production into mastering.
01 What is SONR?
SONR is an all-in-one production and mastering processor built around the decisions dance-music producers make repeatedly while shaping, controlling and finishing a track.
02 Is SONR for mixing or mastering?
Both. In Mix mode, SONR is designed to work across individual sources and production tasks. Switch to Master and the workflow changes into a dedicated mastering chain with EQ, Saturation, Spatial, Reveal, Low End, Compressor, Post EQ and Clipper / Limiter stages.
03 Can I use SONR on individual tracks and buses?
Yes. SONR includes source-aware starting points for common production roles, so it can be used throughout a project rather than being limited to the master channel.
04 Is SONR only for trance?
No. SONR was developed around the needs of dance and electronic-music production more broadly. The workflow is particularly suited to music where low-end control, impact, movement, stereo placement and final loudness matter.
05 What changes in Master mode?
Master mode simplifies the main processing stage to EQ, Saturation, Spatial and Reveal, then gives you a dedicated final-processing chain with Low End, Compressor, Post EQ and Clipper / Limiter.
06 Does SONR replace every plugin in my collection?
That is not the idea. SONR is about keeping the tools you reach for most inside one focused environment so you can solve common production and mastering problems without constantly stopping to build another chain.
07 Can SONR handle final loudness and delivery?
SONR's final-processing stage includes clipping and limiting, along with True Peak refinement and dither at the end of the mastering chain.
08 Are there tutorials for the different sections?
Yes. The SONR page includes focused module-by-module tutorials so you can learn the controls in context rather than working through one long walkthrough.
