PSP MasterComp announced

PSPaudioware has announced PSP MasterComp, a high fidelity stereo dynamics processor. Its double-precision (64-bit floating point) and double-sampled (FAT - Frequency Authentication Technique) processing offers transparency even at extreme compression settings and high sample rates. It includes a wide range of controls that make it an exceptionally versatile tool for mastering compression and expansion, as well as bus processing during mixing.

Features:

• Extremely transparent compression thanks to double precision (64-bit floating point) and double-sampled (FAT mode) algorithms.
• Low distortion thanks to MasterComp's precise level detector, which includes an optional automatic attack and release time adjustment.
• Wide range of controls.
• Over-threshold compression and expansion.
• Advanced side chain filtering, channel linking and compression tilting capabilities.
• Mix control allows you to blend processed and clean signal.
• MasterComp includes a high quality brick wall output limiter with automatic release time.
• Advanced PPM/VU meters with textual readings and adjustable parameters.

Suggested Applications:

• Controlling or revitalizing the dynamics of a final mix during Mastering.
• Controlling or revitalizing dynamics of main tracks, groups and entire mix during mixing.

PSP MasterComp will cost US$249, or US$389 in a bundle with PSP VintageWarmer and PSP MasterQ, and is scheduled for release on the 19th August. Upgrade offers for current users of VintageWarmer and MasterQ are available (up to 60% off) and new users can take advantage of a pre-launch offer and pick it up for $199 until the release date.
