Reflex Acoustics have released QuadMaster, an automatic four-band Compressor/Gate/Saturator plugin, available for $65.00.
QuadMaster is an automatic multi-band compressor with subtle gating and saturation on each band. It can add clarity and dynamics to a range of material, even while still on its default settings.
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 even as your material gets louder and quieter.
Features include:
- Four frequency bands, with solo (“S”) button for each
- Automatic threshold—use the “Compression” knobs to control how far the threshold rides below the peaks in your signal
- Variable compressor attack timing on each band (double-click the gain reduction display to activate attack controls)
- 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 make-up gain to match perceived loudness
- Mid-side processing (100% unlinked)
- Adjustable crossover frequencies
QuadMaster is available to PC and Mac users (VST3 and AU). An AAX version is on its way.
