BASSROOM review
A focused low-end correction plugin for reference-led mixing and mastering.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
BASSROOM is a desktop DAW plugin for producers, mixing engineers, and mastering engineers who need to balance bass frequencies. It runs on Windows and macOS, and Mastering The Mix positions it for both mix-bus and mastering use. The workflow centers on genre-based presets, imported reference tracks, and target curves that show suggested EQ positions across five low-frequency bands.
Its standout feature is reference-based low-end correction. Users can create custom targets from imported reference tracks, compare those targets with their own audio, and adjust gain and Q manually across the five bands. Output gain and perceived-loudness level matching support comparisons between processed and unprocessed audio, while bypass comparison provides another way to assess the change. Offline authorization is also included. Vendor-documented plugin formats include VST, VST3, Audio Unit, and AAX.
BASSROOM’s narrow scope is its clearest trade-off. It is designed to address bass frequencies, not provide a broader mixing environment, so it suits users who want a dedicated low-end reference workflow more than those looking for an all-purpose mixing plugin. The published plan is a single paid BASSROOM plan with genre-based presets, custom reference targets, five-band low-frequency targeting, level matching, and offline authorization. Choose it when low-end balance is the specific problem; choose a broader alternative when your workflow requires processing beyond this focused area.
