Master X3 expedites the mastering process by integrating several phases of mastering
into a single, easy to use interface. It features multiband processing with expansion,
compression and limiting separately for each band. High quality uncorrelated dithering is
included as well.
The intuitive user interface features many new ideas to make the critical mastering
process faster and easier. The overall processing characteristics are controlled via “Target
Curves” that simplify the handling by providing a global processing style for all bands in
all modules.
The interaction between the bands can be fine tuned by applying “Target Factors” which
determine the frequency focus of each processing module, significantly reducing the
number of required user parameters to set this complex process up. “Soft Clipping” even
provides “analog” sound whenever desired.
And now put on your musical pair of glasses – and ENJOY!
