Build your mix around five Kiive favorites.

Great entry level product. Distinct & Distinct Pro remind me of iPhone 17 and 17 Pro. They’re both pro, quality and not lacking anything. But with certain distinctions that you will notice only once in a while if you’re not an actual professional.

Put distinct after a popular & free dynamic EQ and you’re good to fly!

really great company and also amazing plugins

SOOOO, I accidentally purchased this plugin, I hit the wrong button on checkout...and I couldn't be happier! The tonal flavor is so rich, so sweet, it literally takes my mixes from decent to radio-pristine. It's called a "bus" processor but it basically lives on every channel on my mix. I have never put it on a track and decided it wasn't worth it. This is quite possibly the best plugin Kiive has!

I don't know what it is about this plugin, but every setting just sounds incredible! The compressors are so full of life, the EQs seem to add some saturation in a pleasing way, and the other saturation channels have so many options. Must-have!

Using Complexx on my drum bus and 2 bus in every mix, since the day I bought it. Love this thing.

Very close to my beloved Smart Research C2 compressor.
Thank you

A compressor in a class of its own.

I'd finally found the mastering EQ I'd been searching for.

By far my favorite SSL style compressor emulation. I've gone through a bunch and they usually lack character and flexibility, both of which has been masterfully solved by Kiive. They are one of the only plugin companies right now that understands the power of digital plugins, and that there's absolutely no point in just emulating the original 1 to 1. Instead, Kiive add features and flexibility, and create something harnessing the full power of the computer. XBus demonstrates this excellently by adding the "mod" modes to the attack and release, including dual-mono, stereo, and mid-side modes, a wonderful "headroom" knob for a continuous "crush" button (like on the original C2), and a brilliantly flexible saturation/distortion section as well. After having used XBus for more than three weeks, I don't think I could live without these features. Other than that, I should also mention that the interface is excellent, there's now obnoxious licensing like iLok, it runs on Linux through wine flawlessly (YMMV), and that the hardware it models (the C2) is indeed better than the original. I love this compressor and pretty much always find myself using it on drums and the mix buss, every time. The only drawback I'll mention, is that it compresses the dynamic range a little too much for me to use it in mastering, but I don't think that's really it's purpose anyway. Absolutely great compressor, Kiive has done it again.

Love this comp ,easy to use sounds great

Mix and match components, all of them sound really good, super customizable and low CPU. It's really a killer strip.

VX-Q This tool really improves good mixes. I tried it and bought it right away.

This is one of the best spring reverbs I've ever come across.

Simply gorgeous! If punchy and transparent had a kid, this would be it. Or you can grab the THD control and make it sound more like a 2254. Really nice diode compressor, excellent on drums too!

Don't know what to say, downloaded the free trial and got it tested on a new mix and master i'm working on. Snare is absolutely briliant! Drum bus has nice vibe without choking the transients, and applied in the master bus chain (mastering) was the final touch of glue with very little compression on and a final tape saturation, gave all i was missing in previous jobs i've done. Awesome Work!
Hoping to get it purchased soon to make full use of it.
