The ultimate all-in-one mastering solution, with new features added by popular demand. You asked, we listened: The masterdesk PRO expands on its predecessors by adding new functionality and greater control to this incredibly popular and easy-to-use mastering system.
CGII is comprised of two uniquely complementary dynamics enhancement sections, a new True Peak Limiting stage, DC blocking and dither with LUFS/true peak metering via spiffy tube filament displays, all operating at up to 16x over-sampling (or none at all – depending on your tastes). The design prioritizes musical integrity and ease of use, with the ability to add effective loudness, weight and definition without diminishing spatial depth and visceral impact the way traditional dynamics processors often do. Use CGII to make your masters loud without losing the clarity, density and heft of the original mix. Even if you are working with a mix that is already loud, you can give it a little extra, without adding unpleasant distortion and without flattening out the material and sucking the life out of the low end. At the same time you can control the true-peak level of the program to ensure that there are no inter-sample overs.
Maximal 3 is a true-peak brickwall limiter, soft clipper, and broadcast standard loudness meter. Maximal 3 is a loudness maximiser, designed to limit and maximise your track. Featuring both a true-peak brickwall limiter and a variable shape soft clipper, Maximal 3 can increase the overall loudness of your track, without destroying the sonic quality. The limiter features true-peak lookahead detection, meaning inter-sample peaks will never overshoot and clip. With four different modes, and controls for attack and release, the shape of the limiter can achieve anything from transparent limiting with transient preservation, to warm bus gluing or pumping.
The bx_limiter True Peak from Brainworx is a completely new design, crafted to avoid all the shortcomings of other true peak limiters. Use it to confidently hit your loudness targets without leaving behind any distortion-inducing intersample peaks, and without compromising on the sound quality of your limiter. The best sounding True Peak Limiter available!
The APU Loudness Limiter is a real-time limiter designed to support multiple loudness types simultaneously. The limiter can be configured to use LUFS, True Peak, RMS, and/or Peak loudness types. This allows you to target multiple requirements simultaneously, such as a specific LUFS target and a specific True Peak target. Internally, the ballistics of the limiter are adjusted to accommodate the different loudness type limiter settings.
The bx_XL V3 empowers mastering engineers to achieve loud mixes without sacrificing clarity. Utilizing the mid/side technology groundbreaking bx_digital EQ, you can split the mid channel into two bands (low and high). This allows for control over three individual channels – mid-low, mid-high, and side – resulting in increased loudness and significantly enhanced clarity with fewer artifacts and greater punch.
World class, broadcast quality limiting is an essential requirement for any audio production, and the latest standards also demand true-peak compliance. ISL delivers both, giving you superb sound with complete confidence about meeting the standards. No need to second guess your sample-peak limiter time and again, or deliberately increase headroom to avoid a downstream problem. Just dial in your true-peak limit and let ISL take care of the rest.
