Members kylen Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Is anyone trying out the MasterComp demo? Any thoughts? http://pspaudioware.com/indexen.html?url=http://pspaudioware.com/plugins/mastercomp.html; I'm havin trouble finding a mastering comp in my collection that can equal this thing across a whole mix. Oddly enough PSP MixPressor and MixSaturator (heavily tweaked) come close. BTW - The demo only has a couple of knobs active (piracy prevention) but they can all be operated via automation params. I think the demo is for PC only also - I'm using it in Sonar successfully. The release is Friday and I'm seriously considering it - I'd like to hear what folks hear think pro & con! Or what beats it for a DAW mastering compressor. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythminmind Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 i think it's nice but i prefer the Vintage Warmer... if i'm going to put something on the master fader i do it for the saturation color... the VW makes a more natural waveform then a brickwall limiter, and with just as much gain.. and i happen to think it's a better sounding gain... so i wont be buying the new PSP plug..

Members kylen Posted August 18, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 OK - thanks! Vintage Warmer sure has it's own sound - I've got that one! I think I said too much in my first post so it was confusing (to me anyway)...I'm wondering if anyone has tried PSP Master Comp as a mastering compressor - it's a whole other thing from the Vintage Warmer saturation coloring sound. I'm looking for a great mastering compressor this one has the potential I'm thinking (plugin wise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythminmind Posted August 18, 2005 Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 for home mastering i find it hard to beat the izotope ozone.... a great tool. and like psp at a great price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kylen Posted August 18, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 Cool rhythm...I've got Ozone3 also - IMO the new PSP MasterComp beats everything I have as a mastering compressor (not maximizer or saturator, etc.) so I just got in on the customer discount and got that along with MasterQ - guess I'll be the experimenter here! Wish me luck - from what I've heard I think things will be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members geek_usa Posted August 18, 2005 Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'm using the DirectX demo of it... but i'm a total dunce when it comes to understanding proper compression and EQ. I have not had proper training and I think I have to do more than read books on it in order to completely understand it. so at this point I have only used pre-sets, but from what i hear, it sounds pretty good. It can really boost the internal levels and get them to be competative with the major label sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
