Summary

Acon Digital Mastering Suite consists of five plug-ins for audio mastering that were designed for ultimate signal transparency:

Acon Digital Mastering Suite is available in 32 and 64 bit versions, as VST, VST3 or AAX for both Windows and OS X or as AU plug-ins for OS X.

Features

Acon Digital Dynamics

• Intelligent look-ahead algorithm that reduces distortion to a minimum
• Latency and look-ahead can be set anywhere between 0 and 30 milliseconds
• Powerful side chain filtering with full EQ section — low cut, low shelf, bell, high shelf and high cut filters
• Oversampling up to 4X
• Threshold and ratio can be adjusted directly in the level history curve or using knobs
• Acts as a compressor for ratios over 1:1 and as an expander or gate for ratios below 1:1
• Adjustable soft knee specified in dB
• Adjustable attack, hold and release times specified in milliseconds
• Channel linking can be set between 0 (no link) and 100% (all channel share the same gain control signal)
• Adjustable make-up gain specified in dB with optional automatic mode

Acon Digital Multiband Dynamics

• Dynamic processing in up to four separate frequency bands
• Spectral analyzer with frequency band indicators, freely adjustable cross over frequencies and freely adjustable filter slopes
• Intelligent look-ahead algorithm that reduces distortion to a minimum
• Threshold and ratio can be adjusted directly in the level history curve or using knobs
• Acts as a compressor for ratios over 1:1 and as an expander or gate for ratios below 1:1
• Adjustable soft knee specified in dB
• Adjustable attack and release times specified in milliseconds

Acon Digital Limit

• Intelligent look-ahead algorithm that reduces distortion to a minimum
• Pre-compressor stage with adjustable attack and release times specified in milliseconds
• Channel linking can be set separately for pre-compressor and peak suppression with values between 0 (no link) and 100% (all channel share the same gain control signal)
• Oversampling up to 4X for true peak limiting
• Graphical history curve showing level and gain reduction for the past 5 seconds

Acon Digital Equalize

• Up to twelve equalizer bands
• Eight different band filter types (low cut, low shelf, peak, tilt, bandpass, notch, high shelf and high cut)
• Band frequency, gain, bandwidth, resonance and filter slope is freely adjustable for each band
• Three different filter modes, minimum phase, linear phase or the novel mixed phase
• Adjustable latency and pre-ringing time in mixed phase mode
• Zero latency in minimum phase mode
• Channel mode (mid, side, left, right or full processing) can be set independently for each band
• Multiple selection of bands
• Resizable graphical user interface
• Solo and bypass modes
• Optional automatic make-up gain
• Optional gain to bandwidth linking
• Two spectrum analyzers that can analyze the input or output signal from the mid, side, left or right channel
• Graphical visualization of the equalizer frequency response
• Preset manager and a large number of factory presets
• Save, load and categorize user presets

Acon Digital Dither

• Triangular Probability Density Function (TPDF) dithering
• Physcho-acoustic noise shaping filter with adjustable filter length and maximum filter gain
• Graphical representation of the noise shaping filter’s frequency response
• Supported target bit depths: 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 bits
