tc electronic MASTER X5 - 5 Band Dynamics Plug-In with Compression, Limiting and Expansion for TC Powercore DSP Card - Mac and PC

The MasterX5 from TC electronic goes beyond the MasterX3 virtual incarnation of the Finalizer implementation, offering five bands instead of three, different filter slopes and double-precision processing. The plug-in expedites the mastering process for CD and broadcast by integrating several phases of mastering into a single, easy to use interface.

The overall processing characteristics of the MasterX5 are controlled via Target Curves that simplify 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 can provide analog sound whenever desired.

The MasterX5 is optimized for 44.1 and 48kHz processing and is also an ideal tool for optimizing material like commercials for broadcast applications. The five bands allow the user to get even more "level" out of the program material.
