2B Played Music releases BandShaper 2 - Spectral Enhancement Plug-in

Today, 2B Played Music announced the release of BandShaper 2, a mastering-grade spectral shaping tool 'for producers who demand more from their sound'. With high-resolution spectral sculpting, true analog-style saturation, and per-band stereo field control, BandShaper 2 unlocks clarity, depth, and character that go beyond classic EQ. The name BandShaper 2 signals its purpose: precision spectral enhancement across the full frequency spectrum. Instead of relying on static EQ curves, each of the three independent bands offers dynamic, musical shaping that lets you surgically target subs, presence, or air, and instantly enhance the energy where your track needs it most. They Say: BandShaper 2 isn't an EQ — it's a spectral enhancer built for modern mixing and mastering. Each band features two optimized frequency ranges and a choice of four filter types (Pitch, Classic, Trimmed, Single), so you can precisely shape tone and energy in any register. Whether you need to anchor the lows, lift the mids, or bring out airy highs, BandShaper 2 lets you sculpt exactly where it matters most. What truly sets BandShaper 2 apart is its advanced stereo field control. Every band can be switched independently between Stereo, Mid, and Side processing. This allows you to expand the top end, keep your bass focused, or shape the center of your mix with mastering-level precision — all at once. It's surgical control over both tone and spatial balance, right where you need it. For color and character, BandShaper 2 offers analog-style saturation in two distinct flavors: Tube for smooth harmonic warmth, and Retro for vintage grit. The intuitive Drive, Tone, and Mix controls let you add richness and glue to any part of your spectrum without sacrificing detail or clarity. And to keep every detail pristine, BandShaper 2 features a transparent limiter and up to 16x oversampling, delivering punchy, polished results even under the most demanding processing. From subtle spectral energy to bold, full-spectrum transformation, BandShaper 2 gives you the mastering-grade creative control your mixes deserve.
