Reflex Acoustics releases QuadMaster - Automatic Four-Band Compressor/Gate/Saturator Plugin (VST3/AU)
Reflex Acoustics has released QuadMaster, its latest automatic digital effect plugin aimed at freeing up time for producers and engineers while also sounding great.
From the company:
Traditional multiband compressors usually require the user to manually dial in an appropriate threshold and make-up gain setting for each band before hearing an equal-loudness result. For a four-band, mid-side device, that would be 16 or more controls requiring calibration. QuadMaster not only handles the tedious part automatically, but it stays tuned in real time even as audio material gets louder and quieter.
Features:
- Four frequency bands, with solo function for each.
- Automatic threshold, with dials to control how much compression is desired on each band.
- Variable compressor attack timing on each band.
- Variable global release time.
- Simple multiband gate with adjustable range up to 6dB.
- Subtle multiband saturation with automatic gain-staging on each band (oversampled if project sample rate is below 80kHz).
- Parallel processing via dual gain-matched dry/wet mix controls for dynamics and saturation.
- Automatic pre/post loudness matching on each band and overall.
- Mid-side processing (100% unlinked).
- Adjustable crossover frequencies.
The device has 4-14ms latency depending on the lowest user-selected crossover frequency, and is available now in VST3 format for PC, and VST3 & AU formats for Mac, with AAX support coming soon.
Pricing is $65 from reflex-acoustics.com, where you can also download a free demo version with no time limits or silence/noise insertion.
