Bay7 Convert+ brings the depth, separation and controlled musical character of high end mastering conversion to the final stage of your mix.
Designed to sit before the final limiter, it enhances dimension and density while preserving transients, low end definition and clarity.

Convert+ offers four distinct processing modes, each with its own nonlinear, harmonic and dynamic behaviour.
They are not simply different amounts of the same saturation. Each mode uses a different response and reacts differently to the level and dynamics of the incoming signal.
Stays almost linear through low and medium levels, becoming progressively more active around peaks and transients. Designed to add subtle character while remaining close to the original signal.
Combines adaptive drive, harmonic colour and soft clipping while preserving part of the original transient. The result becomes richer and more pronounced as Intensity is pushed.
Keeps the body of the signal cleaner and progressively increases its nonlinear character toward the peaks. Designed to retain definition and impact while adding a controlled modern edge.
Applies more continuous harmonic colour through the body of the signal, with a softer nonlinear response around peaks. Push it harder for greater density and a more obvious character.
The same setting can react differently depending on the signal. Choose the conversion character that fits the mix, then use Intensity to move from subtle colour to a more pronounced response.
Convert+ is designed to recreate the sonic role of high-end conversion inside the final stage of the mastering chain.
Instead of applying a single layer of coloration, it combines harmonic shaping, dynamic behaviour, stereo perception and tonal control to create a deeper and more cohesive result.
Use any processing your mix requires, then place Convert+ directly before the final limiter. This allows its depth, density and conversion character to become part of the master before the last stage of level and loudness control.
Not an effect placed on top of the mix. A final stage that becomes part of it.
Creates a stronger sense of front-to-back dimension without making the mix feel artificially widened or detached.
Helps individual elements remain readable while preserving the relationship and balance of the original mix.
Adds perceived weight and harmonic structure while keeping low-end definition and transient detail under control.
Brings the mix together through a unified conversion character instead of simply adding an obvious effect.

Ready for delivery
Build the mastering chain according to the needs of the mix, then place Bay7 Convert+ immediately before the final limiter.
Mix engineer Nick Mac puts CONVERT+ through a real world session and explores how its four conversion characters respond in context.
“I’ll be using CONVERT+ as my virtual mastering converter from here on out!”
Intensity is not a simple saturation amount control.
As it increases, Convert+ progressively develops depth, density, harmonic structure and tonal character while keeping the response controlled and musical.
The goal is to move from subtle enhancement to a more evident conversion signature without abrupt harshness, unstable low end or unpleasant clipping behaviour.
The effect builds progressively, allowing precise tone shaping instead of an immediate jump into obvious coloration.
Even when pushed, Convert+ is designed to keep attack and musical definition intact instead of collapsing the front edge of the mix.
Low frequencies stay controlled and readable, so additional weight does not come at the cost of muddy or unstable bass.
The character becomes more present without immediately turning brittle, aggressive or unpleasant in the upper range.
Start subtle for polish. Push further when the mix needs more conversion character.
Convert+ offers oversampling up to 32× for cleaner and more controlled nonlinear processing.
By processing the signal internally at a higher sample rate, oversampling helps reduce unwanted aliasing generated by harmonic shaping and keeps the upper frequencies smoother when the plugin is pushed.
Lower settings provide an efficient balance during mixing, while higher values are available when maximum processing quality is required for mastering and final rendering.
Higher internal processing rates help move unwanted mirrored components away from the audible range before the signal returns to the session sample rate.
Harmonic detail remains more controlled in the upper range, especially when using stronger modes or higher Intensity values.
Increased processing quality helps Convert+ retain a refined response when more evident density and coloration are required.
A lighter setting for responsive playback and fast decisions.
A practical balance between processing quality and CPU use.
Higher internal resolution when the final result matters most.
Oversampling is available when greater internal precision is useful. It is a quality option, not a requirement to keep permanently at the maximum setting.
