Mixing is a delicate art that combines both technical knowledge and a discerning ear. The right mix can make or break a track, and it’s the minute details that often make the most significant impact. One such detail is the “air” in a mix — the breath of life that gives your mix an open, expansive sound. The right plugin can help you achieve this sound easily and efficiently.

Here are the 10 best plugins to add “air” to your mixes in 2023:

  1. SSL G-Equalizer by Waves

The SSL G-Equalizer is an emulation of the SSL 4000 G console’s EQ section, renowned for its extraordinary breadth of control and tonal character. It offers 4-band equalization and bell curves for the LF, LMF, HMF, and HF bands. Its precision and versatility make it a superb choice for adding “air” and brightness to your mixes.

  1. EQP-1A Classic Analog Tube-Based EQ by T-Racks

The EQP-1A is a faithful digital recreation of the classic Pultec EQP-1A hardware unit. Known for its wide bandwidth and tube-based circuitry, it’s a master at adding “air” and transparency to mixes, especially on vocals and strings.

  1. API 550 by Waves

Emulating API’s renowned 550A console EQ, the API 550 by Waves is an excellent tool for breathing life into dull mixes. Its ability to increase frequencies without adding harshness makes it ideal for injecting air into your tracks.
