New Studio Plugins Deliver Unprecedented
Control and Precision in Recordings
Inspira and Endura provide groundbreaking solutions for refining temporal blur, noise shaping and dither
14 MAY 2025, TORONTO, CANADA – Lenbrook Media Group is today announcing a new suite of studio plugins, giving music creators unprecedented control over the critical details in their recordings. Developed by its MQA Labs unit, Inspira and Endura offer engineers and producers previously unavailable methods for managing impulse response, noise shaping and dither. The user has full control in pursuit of their desired sound.
Designed for music production, these tools address long-standing challenges in digital audio, ensuring every recording retains its depth and nuance.
- Inspira – Created for recording and mixing, Inspira mitigates unwanted time-domain distortions that often occur during analogue-to-digital conversion. It also features a versatile range of novel noise shapers and dither options, preserving resolution from the start of the production process.
- Endura – Built for mastering, Endura gives engineers full control over temporal smearing, while its advanced analysis capabilities generate custom noise shapers uniquely suited to each track. The plugin exports in WAV and FLAC formats, ensuring the best-sounding masters reach any streaming service with absolute fidelity.
Industry veterans are already praising the plugins for their ability to refine audio with unmatched precision. Multi-GRAMMY Award winner David Glasser, Owner and Chief Engineer of Airshow Mastering, shared his experience with Endura: “It’s like a fine-focus control. It delivers a level of clarity in that all-important mid-range that’s simply unattainable by any other means.”
Fellow GRAMMY winner Morten Lindberg, Record Producer and Balance Engineer, added: “It simply sounds better, and that’s all that matters in the creative process. The low-end is more precise, the treble is smoother. The temporal alignment enhances clarity, preserving transients without adding harshness.”
Speaking on the development of the plugins, Spencer Chrislu, Director of Content Services, MQA Labs, explained: “These tools offer engineers a new level of creative freedom, enabling them to dial into the detail of their sound. Whether they want to refine subtle nuances or make significant enhancements, creators can now deliver their music exactly as they envisioned, unlocking possibilities previously out of reach.”
Inspira ($249) and Endura ($349) are now available at mqalabs.com/plugins.
