Key Features |
| |
Multi-Band Dynamics |
 |
Up to four bands of analog-modeled compression, limiting and expansion with a smooth sound and a fine degree of control |
 |
Real-time visualization of the dynamics within each band, including gain reduction meters, level histograms and X-Y compression curves |
 |
Analog or digital linear phase crossovers with adjustable Q (bandwidth) |
 |
RMS and peak detection modes |
| |
Paragraphic EQ |
 |
Eight bands of bell, high-pass, low-pass, high-shelf or low-shelf filters overlaid on a fully configurable spectrum analyzer |
 |
Choice of analog-modeled EQ with "soft saturation" modeling or digital linear phase filtering with up to 16,000 bands of precision |
 |
Compare mixes with a powerful spectrum analyzer that offers real-time and average modes, critical or third octave bands and snapshots |
 |
Matching mode allows for using spectrum snapshots of recordings to create "automatic" EQ curves |
| |
Multi-Band Harmonic Exciter |
 |
Up to four bands of multi-band excitation for adding warmth, sparkle or shine to mixes |
 |
Choice of retro, tape or tube-modeled excitation with adjustable amount and mix controls for each band |
 |
Unique multi-band time offset controls for tightening and adding "attack" to bass and kick |
| |
Multi-Band Stereo Imaging |
 |
Up to four bands of multi-band stereo widening for adding space to a mix without losing the bass |
 |
Allows for visual inspection of the stereo image with a powerful phase/channel meter display that highlights imaging, phase and potential canceling problems |
 |
Multi-band channel delay controls for adjusting the perceived location of the stereo field or correcting tape errors |
| |
Mastering Reverb |
 |
Dual mode reverb for adding ambiance to the mix |
 |
Selectable plate or room modeling algorithms for "studio" or "acoustic" ambiance |
 |
Control room size, pre-delay, width, frequency cutoff and more |
 |
Special controls for soloing the wet signal, adjusting the frequency response and monitoring the width and phase of the reverb signal |
| |
Loudness Maximizer |
 |
Allows for maximizing levels without overloading while using analog-modeled or transparent digital loudness maximizers |
 |
Intelligent release control technology |
 |
Visual feedback provided through limiting gain reduction meters and overall loudness histograms |
| |
Dither |
 |
Prepares audio for CD with word-length reduction and high-order, psycho-acoustic shaped dither |
 |
Includes MBIT+ dither for psycho-acoustically optimal word length reduction |
 |
Integrated DC offset filtering, auto-blanking and dither harmonic suppression for dynamic and transparent conversions |
 |
Unique set of bit scopes and DC level meters provide a complete view of the digital bit-stream and conversion process |
