Minimum System Requirements
PSP MasterComp
and
PSP MicroComp
are compatible with applications that can host
standard VST, AU and RTAS plug-ins.
Windows
Intel or AMD processor
(i386 architecture compatible high performance CPU recommended)
Windows XP, Vista or se7en 32 and 64 bits
RTAS, or VST compatible audio application
VST for x64 applications
Macintosh
PowerPC or Intel processor
Mac OS X 10.5 or later
AU, RTAS, or VST compatible audio application
Plug-in Latency
In order to achieve the highest quality results, the PSP MasterComp and PSP MicroComp
require a buffer containing a number of samples in order to process your audio material
properly. In the case of the PSP MicroComp the amount of samples needed was kept
purposefully small and results in a delay up to 22ms, depending on the sample rate of the
audio. This means that PSP MicroComp can be used while tracking. In the case of PSP
MasterComp the latency is considerably larger—up to 37ms, depending on sample rate. This
is because of the precise FIR (finite impulse response) filters used for FAT double sampling.
Due to the larger latency of the PSP MasterComp we recommend this version for mastering
purposes.
That said, most modern DAWs include plug-in delay compensation, which eliminates the
effect of the delay incurred by PSP MicroComp and PSP MasterComp on playback. PSP
MasterComp and PSP MicroComp fully supports the latency compensation of all host DAWs
(meaning, the plug-ins accurately report the samples of delay they require to the host). Note
that some host DAWs have limitations regarding delay compensation, so be sure to refer to
your DAW’s user guide for more information. For your convenience the latency of each plug-
in is reported at the bottom of the editor window in both samples and milliseconds.
Limitations of the demo version
14 day evaluation period without any audio interruption or control limitations.
