User reviews

Great

As a background - I’m into music-making for some decades. I have used a lot and own „a couple“ of tools (on iOS & Desktop). Afterglow is a great, stable and fast tool for polishing your tracks. What makes it even better is, that it can be used as an auv3-plugin! The results are good !
Sidenote: I used it standalone on an iPhone pro max - which is more than ok! But I wouldn‘t use it as a plugin on iPhones.

Magic Sause

I mostly make atmospheric and ambient music via modular hardware using Auv3 effects and mixing via AUM. I’d usually bung Grand Finale on the mater bus and was pretty happy with the results. That was until Afterglow came out, the presets are good and give you a good place to start and I’ll be honest, I don’t tweak them that much they that good. Afterglow is now my go to for end of chain or master channel compositions. I love it, it just works really nicely and adds that missing bit of polish.
