Acustica Audio has announced Coral, a new mastering channel-strip for Mac OS X and Windows (available around mid-November) and Coral REEF (already released).
The basic concept behind Coral was a transparent audio processor. The mastering wild-band EQ is designed to feature a unique design including four EQ bands and a two-filter section with gentle slopes and a sub-Bessel configuration.
The chimera mastering compressor is also a mastering processor, thanks to the high number of rectifiers in the detector section, but also because it applies a soft-clipping strategy in order to preserve transients from being cut off hard. Coral bundle also includes a mastering elliptical filter for stereo field control and a high resolution mastering pre-amplifier based on the transformer technology.
Coral REEF is a bundle including each individual module, enabling sound engineers to use each component separately, with a significant saving in terms of CPU.
Coral REEF consists of:
- Coral Comp.
- Coral Pre.
- Coral EQ.
- Coral Elliptical Filter.
