Meet Inspira and Endura: The Studio Plugins That Give You Total Sonic Control

When you spend hours fine-tuning a mix, chasing that elusive clarity or warmth, you know how every little detail matters. Now, two new tools are stepping into the studio to give you full control where it counts. MQA Labs just released Inspira and Endura—two plugins that are raising the bar on what’s possible in mixing and mastering. These aren’t just tweaks or upgrades.

These are fully loaded tools that give producers and engineers hands-on precision in ways that weren’t available before.

At a Glance

• Inspira helps clean up those messy time-domain distortions right at the recording stage
• Endura is built for mastering and gives you deep control over smearing and custom noise shaping
• Industry heavyweights are already calling these plugins a breakthrough in studio workflow

Creative Control from Start to Finish

Inspira ets you jump right into the source—at the recording and mixing stages—and start managing issues like impulse response and time-domain blur before they become problems. You get advanced noise shapers and dither settings, which means the resolution of your track stays intact from day one. No more compromises just to keep things “clean enough.”

Endura, on the other hand, steps in during mastering. Its real strength? It lets you isolate and manage temporal smearing, a subtle but often frustrating issue in final mixes. The plugin goes even deeper by using track-specific analysis to generate noise shapers tailored to each project. Add in export support for WAV and FLAC, and you’ve got a mastering tool that’s ready to deliver high-quality audio to every platform.

What the Pros Are Saying

This isn’t just marketing speak. People who know what they’re doing in a studio are giving these tools real praise. David Glasser, a multi-GRAMMY winner and chief engineer at Airshow Mastering, called Endura “a fine-focus control” and credited it with providing clarity in the mid-range he hadn’t found elsewhere.

Morten Lindberg, another GRAMMY-winning producer, said the plugins make everything sound better. “The low-end is more precise, the treble is smoother,” he explained. “The temporal alignment enhances clarity, preserving transients without adding harshness.”

That kind of feedback tells you what’s really going on here. These new studio plugins aren’t just adding convenience—they’re giving creators real power over how their music sounds.

A New Era in Studio Precision

The real story here is creative freedom. As Spencer Chrislu from MQA Labs puts it, these plugins let engineers “dial into the detail of their sound.” Whether you want to fix tiny imperfections or go big with your edits, Inspira and Endura let you do it on your own terms.

Both plugins are available now at mqalabs.co.uk/plugins. Inspira comes in at $249 and Endura at $349. If audio quality matters to you—and if you’re reading this, it probably does—these might be the most important tools you add to your studio this year.
