Acon Mastering Suite

The Acon Digital Mastering Suite is an advanced collection of five mastering plug-ins designed to provide ultimate signal transparency and control for audio mastering. Each plug-in offers powerful features, making the suite suitable for both professional and amateur sound engineers who demand high-quality results. The suite includes:

Key Features:

• Dynamics: A versatile compressor, expander, or gate with look-ahead capabilities (0-30 ms), an intelligent algorithm for minimal distortion, and up to 4x oversampling. The side chain equalizer offers low cut, low shelf, peak, high shelf, and high cut filters, with an internal or external side chain signal. The latest auto-release mode dynamically adapts to the audio material, and the Mix knob provides parallel compression control.
• Multiband Dynamics: Offers dynamic processing across up to four separate frequency bands. The cross-over frequencies and filter slopes are freely adjustable, from 6 to 48 dB per octave. The mixed phase filtering introduced in version 1.1 minimizes pre-ringing artifacts, and the new Channel Linking parameter offers flexible channel processing control.
• Limit: A transparent limiter with intelligent look-ahead (0-30 ms) and a two-step limiting process (pre-compressor followed by peak limiting). Supports up to 4x oversampling for true peak limiting, and includes an adaptive auto-release mode that adjusts to the audio material.
• Equalize: A parametric equalizer with freely adjustable center frequency, gain, bandwidths, and filter slopes (3 dB to 120 dB per octave). It offers minimum phase, linear phase, or mixed phase modes, allowing control over potential pre-ringing artifacts, with adjustable latency in mixed phase mode (5-120 ms).
• Dither: A dithering plug-in with adjustable perceptual noise shaping, providing graphical visualization of the frequency response and adjustable filter gain. Supports target bit depths of 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 bits.
