Lurssen Mastering Console
Lurssen Mastering Console is a groundbreaking new mastering tool that puts a lifetime’s worth of professional mastering experience at your fingertips.
Created in collaboration with Mastering Engineers Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen of Multi Grammy Award winning facility Lurssen Mastering, Inc. in Los Angeles, it puts you at the controls in the studio with all of the secret tools, settings and techniques that have made the Lurssen sound so sought after by the world’s top-tier recording artists and producers.
It faithfully recreates Lurssen’s “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” philosophy of mastering. With it, you get a top of the line mastering processor chain that has been created and tweaked by Gavin and his team to reflect the settings they use in the studio while mastering hip-hop, rock, pop and more. With Lurssen Mastering Console, you finally have a way to make professional sounding masters no matter whether you’re in the studio or on the go.
Lurssen Mastering Console is a totally new approach to digital audio mastering. It provides a complete emulation of the entire mastering processing chain used by world-renowned mastering engineers Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen and their team. This chain includes tube equalizers, solid state equalizers, limiters, de-essers and solid state compressors. The simulation of this chain reflects their “whole chain philosophy”.
Lurssen Mastering Console models and recreates the interactions between the individual processors in its chain down to the actual gear hookup schematics themselves. This approach effectively gives you access to decades worth of knowledge in the form of workflow secrets, special techniques, signal chains and technical know-how.
Lurssen Mastering EQ
The T-RackS Lurssen Mastering EQ faithfully emulates the renowned 825 Tube EQ, a classic studio tool cherished in mastering circles for its warm, musical character and unique tonal coloration. It has become a benchmark for analog equalization.
Initially custom-developed for mastering legends Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen, who have long relied on this sonic approach, the plug-in offers smooth, nuanced curves that deliver a stunning high and low end, enabling subtle yet powerful tonal enhancements.
Thanks to the detailed emulation of the preamp section, a unique “Color” control offers precise adjustment of harmonic saturation. This allows you to fine-tune the unit’s character for a cleaner sound or one enriched with harmonics.
Gavin Lurssen is the president and principal engineer at Lurssen Mastering, Inc. Since IK modeled his original 825 Tube EQ exclusively for his use, Gavin has used the Lurssen Mastering EQ on all his recordings. The plug-in faithfully emulates his cherished device and even adds features like the Color knob and mid/side processing to match his preferred workflow.
Lurssen Mastering EQ boasts a streamlined interface that integrates independent stereo controls with enhanced functionality. The plug-in replicates the original’s left/right EQ controls while introducing output controls, parameter linking, adjustable preamp input levels, and Mid/Side processing. Shelving filters offer intuitive manipulation of both high- and low-frequency ranges, and 3 tuned semi-parametric filters enable precise sound shaping.
You can use Lurssen Mastering EQ as a standalone or inside the T-RackS 6 plug-in to build custom channel strips combining other T-RackS modules. You can save your favorite signal chains and quickly reapply them, easily tailoring your setup to your creative needs.
The authentic sonic character and intuitive controls of Lurssen Mastering EQ will enhance your creative processes and workflows, making it an indispensable tool for achieving professional mastering quality. It includes a variety of presets from Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen, saving you valuable time and making it easy to achieve exceptional results. You can use them straight out of the box or as a starting point to develop your custom presets.
Like all T-RackS plug-ins, the T-RackS Lurssen Mastering EQ can be used as a single plug-in or inside the T-RackS 6 shell.
