Air on top. A short spring sheen. Never a reverb. $12 · Standalone app, VST3 and AU on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel); VST3 on Windows (64-bit).
When a mix sounds right but closed, reach for air, not more reverb. Drop HAVA on the bus, turn AIR, and the top end opens with a smooth lift above 9 kHz. Add SHEEN for a short spring sparkle (a chirp, a twang, a glint on the transients) that dies away fast: a measured tail of T60 0.63 s. It brightens and glues, and it never puts your track in a room: there is no decay or size control anywhere.
It opens here: a clear top-end lift with the sheen kept short.
Air with MASTER SAFE on, for the master bus.
Air Light and Air Full for a clean top-end lift, Air + Sheen and Sheen Only when you want the spring sparkle, and Master Air, with MASTER SAFE on, for the last insert on the master.
AIR is a smooth high shelf above 9 kHz, 0.6 dB per step at 11 kHz on its 0 to 10 scale. SHEEN is a short spring: a falling chirp, a twang at 1.5 kHz and a sparkle that lights up on transients and falls away at once. A 300 Hz low cut on the spring's send keeps kick drums and low toms out of it, and 300 ms after an impulse the sheen is at least 25 dB below where it started: glue, not a room.
MASTER SAFE makes HAVA fit for the last insert: it processes the mid channel only, holds the loudness with an auto-gain and puts a true-peak ceiling at -0.3 dBTP. With it off HAVA has no latency; with it on it reports a constant 80 samples at 48 kHz, so your host's delay compensation follows.
