1.3 A Few Words from Tony Maserati
“The Maserati GRP plugin is meant to help that final blend jump out a bit. It’s got a nice
bit of equalization involved but no effects, no shredders, none of that kind of thing. In

generally I don’t do major compression over my groups. It’s meant to add a nice sheen
on a great blend of background vocals or compress a drum kit together, make it really
feel like it’s got some nice air to it.”
