FL Studio's multiband maximiser, included from Producer Edition up. The manual positions it as the last effect on the master, and lists compressor, limiter, gate, expander, ducker and de-esser duties alongside maximising.
Source Madeon, MusicRadar interview, in his own words: "Maximus is one of the easiest mastering tools you'll ever use." Out of genre, he is electro-house not trap. Despite Maximus's reputation as a trap mastering tool, no named hip-hop producer was found stating they use it. Image-Line's own FL Studio artist interview pages quote each by name on Maximus. G. Ry: "I also always have FL's built-in Maximus preset on my master - it literally makes whatever I'm working on feel like a radio smash." SeamlessR: "FL's effects similarly do everything I want to do. Especially Maximus and Vocodex." Lektrique names Maximus as his post-processing chain. Savant and Zardonic also name Maximus on their Image-Line artist pages.
