Master X5 provides even more detailed access during the mastering process for CD and
broadcast. It is optimized for 44.1 and 48 kHz processing and is also an ideal tool for
optimizing material like commercials for broadcast applications; the 5 bands allow
getting even more “level” out of the program material. 

Master X5 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.

TC Master X5 mastering tool supplies five frequency bands in both Compressor, Limiter
and Expander sections. Thanks to the innovative user interface of TC Master X5 this does
not bring a flood of additional parameters – desired results can still be achieved quickly
and intuitively!

The number of bands active can be set to any number from one to five to match the
specific needs of a whole host of mastering situations. Auto Make Up Gain can be de-
activated whenever desired. By individually boosting each of the five bands, the overall
balance can be more precisely finetuned.
