PSP MasterQ2 is not merely a mastering EQ; the “Q” stands for “Quality.” This plug-in is designed to be a creative tool for mixing and mastering, boasting features that elevate its utility to a new level.
With the ability to operate at sampling rates ranging from 44.1kHz all the way up to 768kHz, PSP MasterQ2 offers unparalleled flexibility. It includes seven filters: 12, 24, and 36 dB/oct low cut and high cut filters, low shelf and high shelf filters which can be converted to peaking filters, as well as low-mid, middle, and high-mid peaking filters. All filters come with adjustable frequency and Q settings, allowing for extensive control over your sound.
The EQ graph provides a comprehensive overview of the EQ curve and the distinctive characteristics of each filter, making it easier to visualize your adjustments.
Beyond its advanced filtering capabilities, PSP MasterQ2 includes a selection of limiting and soft-clipping algorithms which aid in shaping your signal and preventing digital peaking. Utilizing astoundingly precise 80-bit extended floating point computations across all filters helps to effectively manage any accumulation errors.
Moreover, PSP MasterQ2 guarantees optimal filter operation even at the lowest frequencies, regardless of the high gain and Q factor settings. It employs the proprietary Frequency Authentication Technique (FAT), a double sampling method that ensures proper filter operation at high frequencies. This unique implementation utilizes high order linear filters to eliminate phase and linear errors that could occur due to double order sampling, all while avoiding sample rate conversion artifacts.
Experience the precise, surgical capabilities of PSP MasterQ2 for mastering, or use it creatively as a color processor in sound design and mixing. Once you try it, the creative potential of PSP MasterQ2 will be evident.
