Mastering

It’s designed to cover all the needs of every producer/engineer who wants to maximize their use of mid-side processing for enhanced stereo width; tight, focused mono-bass, and more. Its four discrete functions are divided across two linkable control sections for intuitive use, and its advanced cue section makes monitoring a breeze.Parallel insert with M/S function: With the insert section you can insert an external processor like an eq, compressor, distortion unit etc, and then dial in a mix between the processed signal (wet) and the unprocessed signal (dry). For maximum precision the blend control has 16 steps from dry to wet. If you activate the M/S function your signal will be coded into mid (L+R) and side (L-R). The mid signal normally contains all the center info such as bass, kick drum, lead vocal etc and the side signal contains all the panned parts of the signal. In M/S you can process the center signal and side signal separately with different types of processors. With the blend split function you get separate blend controls for the mid and side signal. In M/S mode the blend function takes place before the signal is decoded back to left/right. With the insert cue function you can monitor the L or R signal after the blend control separately, mid or side if M/S is active. This section can be used with it’s own balanced inputs and outputs.Elliptical Equalizer: With the elliptical EQ all frequencies below a selected frequency will be made to mono. This function can make your low end more focused. It’s an old technique used when mastering for vinyl. Too much low end in the side channel (vertical) can make the needle bounce slightly and cause distortion. By using a 12dB high pass filter in the side channel you set the frequency under which the signal will be processed as mono. As a HPF introduces phase shift to the signal, a phase correction is added to the mid channel keeping channel separation as good as possible. The EEQ has 16 frequencies from 36Hz to 302Hz. With the EEQ cue function you can monitor the signals that are mixed between the channels.Stereo width control: By adjusting the amount of side information in the stereo mix, the width can be adjusted incrementally from mono to extra wide. With this control you can fine adjust the stereo image after you have used the M/S insert.Cue function: With the cue function you can monitor the left, right, mid or side signal separately. By pressing the cue sections Insert switch you can cue the parallel inserts return signal by pressing L or R. (this can be done even if you run the two sections separately at different locations in your chain) By selecting the EEQ switch on the cue section you can monitor the low frequencies fed from left to right or right to left. The cue section is a passive design using relays to select the cue source.

The Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter is the definitive TG limiter, released in honor of Abbey Road Studios' 75th birthday. The brainchild of Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke, the Zener Limiter is based on the classic EMI circuits used to record The Beatles and Pink Floyd. This latest EMI limiter carries on the tradition of EMI limiters started in 1956 with the RS114 tube limiter, and continued with 1966's RS168 Zener Limiter (a component of the TG12345 console channel in 1968), and the TG12413 in '74. Start with the essence of the classic RS168, add modern functionality, and you have the Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter.Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter at a Glance:Classic compression and limiting, with modern flexibilityExercise iron-fisted control over your dynamicsYou get natural compression, scrumptious-sounding limiting - and a blend of the twoClassic compression and limiting, with modern flexibilityThe original TG Limiter was designed to replace both the Fairchild 660 and the EMI-modified Altec 436/RS124 - two certified classics, revered for their dynamics-shaping prowess. The Altec unit was known for its natural, organic compression, while the Fairchild - with its fast, sub-millisecond onset and extremely soft-knee compression curve - is perhaps the most lusted-after (and imitated) limiter ever made. The Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter gives you the sonic mojo of these two classics - and goes several steps beyond.Exercise iron-fisted control over your dynamicsThe Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter gives you the power to impose your will on your dynamics. Starting with the powerful vintage TG limiter circuits, Chandler Limited gives you added features and flexibility in the form of controls such as switchable input impedance (for hard or soft driving of the unit), 11-position attack, 21-position release, and side chain filtering, as well as Comp 1, Comp 2, and Limit settings.You get natural compression, scrumptious-sounding limiting - and a blend of the twoCOMP 1 is a 2:1 ratio with slower time constants than originally designed by EMI engineers to emulate the Altec 436/RS124 EMI-modified Altec compressors. Limit mode is much faster and designed to emulate the response curves of the revered classic Fairchild 660. COMP 2 is a new setting that puts you halfway between the two original settings, essentially giving you the compression curve of Comp 1, with the faster release times characteristic of Limit mode. Whether you use it for tracking or mastering, with its sonic pedigree and effective controls, the Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter is a must-have for huge, punchy mixes.Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter Features:Gives you the sonic mojo of two classics: the Fairchild 660 and the Altec 436/RS124COMP 1 mode is a 2:1 ratio with slower time constants reminiscent of the Altec 436/RS124Limit mode is faster and designed to emulate the response curves of the revered classic Fairchild 660COMP 2 is a new setting that puts you halfway between the two original settingsChandler Limited and their associated logos are registered trademarks of Chandler Limited, Inc.

The Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender EQ is the definitive TG equalizer, released in celebration of Abbey Road Studios' 75th birthday. The brainchild of Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke and Abbey Road senior engineer Peter Cobbin, the Curve Bender is based on the vintage EMI TG12345 console used on Beatles and Pink Floyd recordings. This latest EMI equalizer carries on the tradition of EMI EQs that began in 1951 with the RS56 (cheekily dubbed "the Curve Bender" by EMI designers), and continued with the 1968's TG12345 and TG12412 in '74. A classic design - the gorgeous-sounding TG12345 - juiced with it with modern features. That's the Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender.Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender EQ at a Glance:A fully featured version of a classic EQPowerful functionality gives your serious sound shaping mojoYou get the best of both worlds: vintage warmth, plus modern featuresA fully featured version of a classic EQThe Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender EQ is the embodiment of a dream. It was during his mixing of numerous Beatles-related projects (Anthology, Yellow Submarine, Imagine, etc.), it occurred to Peter Cobbin that having a fully featured and highly flexible version of the original desk EQ units would be invaluable. After Wade Goeke presented him with a working version of the legendary console equalizer, Peter realized he could "have it all," and set Wade to building the perfect beast.Powerful functionality gives your serious sound shaping mojoPeter had requested four bands, and filters based on the slopes of the original console - but with overlapping and expanded options. In the final production unit, the 9 selections of the original TG12345 had become 51 EQ points. Wade also added a multiply switch that increases boost/cut up to 13.5dB (as well as sharpening the Q), in addition to filters and bell/shelf selections on the high and low bands.You get the best of both worlds: vintage warmth, plus modern featuresThe result is the Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender - a classic equalizer from the glorious history of EMI and Abbey Road that's come full circle, morphing into a modern powerhouse EQ perfect for all your recording, mixing, and mastering needs.Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender EQ Features:A fully featured version of a classic EQThe best of both worlds: vintage warmth, plus modern features51 EQ pointsMultiply switch increases boost/cut up to 13.5dBHigh pass and lowpass filters and bell/shelf selections on high and low bandsChandler Limited and their associated logos are registered trademarks of Chandler Limited, Inc.

The BC1-THD provides smooth bus compression that applies for both mixing and tracking. Engineers call it “The Magic Glue” when the BC1-THD’s transparent compression strengthens mixes without compromising clarity. The built-in blend control makes it easy to apply parallel compression by adjusting the blend of dry and compressed signal. A switchable sidechain filter can be applied which makes the BC1-THD less responsive to low frequency energy. The THD function adds more harmonics to the signal and the “grab” mode selects a harder threshold knee on all four ratio settings. Smooth and transparent compression will never go out of fashion.

Mastering version του Culture Vulture με τις παρακάτω  διαφορές σε σχέση με την απλή έκδοση :Transformer balanced inputs & outputs on stereo jacks. Transformer balanced rear mounted bypass switch. Large indented input Drive controls. Indented Output Controls Specially selected or military type valves with longer life and low  microphony.Carefully matched 5725 distortion valves Σχεδιασμένο αρχικά ως «κουτί παραμόρφωσης» για εξομοίωση παραμόρφωσης ενισχυτών κιθάρας το Culture Vulture χρησιμοποιείται με ένα σωρό άλλους τρόπους. Πρόκειται  πραγματικά για ένα "μαγικό" κουτί και είναι αδύνατο να περιγραφεί ο πλούτος των ηχητικών παρεμβάσεων που μπορεί κάποιος να πετύχει στον ήχο, απο πολύ απαλές ρυθμίσεις, μέχρι ρυθμίσεις distortion για κιθάρες.      

Το νέο Culture Vulture Super 15 παρουσιάζει πολλές νέες δυνατότητες πάνω στα δημοφιλή Culture Vulture. Το κουμπί  Drive έχει τώρα 3 θέσεις με δυνατότητα +10dB και με ήχο ανάμεσα στον  ‘Normal’ και τον ‘Overdrive’, επιτρέποντας ένα πιο  ‘crunchy’ ήχο πιο φωτεινό απο τον normal. Ταυτόχρονα το κουμπί  Drive ανεβαίνει μέχρι την θέση 15 σε αντίθεση με την κλασσική δημοφιλή θέση 11 !Επίσης ο διακόπτης  Function προσφέρει περισσότερες θέσεις με μεγαλύτερη ποικιλία ήχων και αρμονικών. Το νέο Culture Vulture Super 15 ενσωματώνει απο το Culture Vulture Solo το διακόπτη Presence. Το  Output Level έχει ρύθμιση  -10dB που σε συνδιασμό με το   +10dB Drive μπορεί να ελέγξει αποτελεσματικά διαφορετικές ανάγκες σε στάθμες.5 λάμπες  NOS military-grade  χρησιμοποιούνται για μακροχρόνια χρήση χωρίς προβλήματα , χαμηλό θόρυβο και αναβαθμισμένη ποιότητα όπως και στο The Culture Vulture Mastering PlusΧρησιμοποιεί ειδικές λάμπες Mullard & Philips και έχει disortion switch 10 θέσεων καθώς και κόκκινο σασί. Καταπληκτικό για drums/loops, φωνές, πιάνο καθώς και σε stereo tracks.          ΧΑΡΑΚΤΗΡΙΣΤΙΚΑTransformer balanced inputs & outputs on stereo jacks. Transformer balanced rear mounted bypass switch. Large indented input Drive controls. Indented Output Controls Specially selected or military type valves with longer life and low  microphony.Carefully matched 5725 distortion valves.Σχεδιασμένο αρχικά ως «κουτί παραμόρφωσης» για εξομοίωση παραμόρφωσης ενισχυτών κιθάρας το Culture Vulture χρησιμοποιείται με ένα σωρό άλλους τρόπους.

Το DS1 είναι ένας δυναμικός επεξεργαστής απόλυτης ποιότητας. Στηρίζεται στο split-band De-Esser  της σειράς Weiss 102, που είναι ένα από τα πιο φημισμένα ψηφιακά προϊόντα στο χώρο του mastering. Τώρα οι μηχανικοί της εταιρίας Weiss έχουν πάρει το σχέδιο του de-Esser και το έχουν συνδυάσει με τα καλύτερα τεχνικά  γνωρίσματα των δυναμικών επεξεργαστών της  περίφημης σειράς 102  όπως έχει αποδειχθεί στο πέρασμα του χρόνου. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι ότι το Gambit DS1 είναι ένας αυτόνομος δυναμικός επεξεργαστής  με  ασύγκριτη απόδοση και ηχητική ποιότητα. Στο De-Esser mode η ζώνη συμπίεσης είναι επιλέξιμη ως lowpass, bandpass η highpass και επεκτείνει τη λειτουργία πέρα από το de-essing. Τα crossover filters είναι γραμμικής φάσης για την υψηλότερη δυνατή ηχητική ποιότητα. Ο full band δυναμικός επεξεργαστής με soft knee compressor και το  limiter είναι ιδανικό για τον πλήρη έλεγχο της δυναμικής περιοχής της μουσικής. 

Το απόλυτο ψηφιακό EQ. Διατίθεται σε τέσσερις διαφορετικούς τύπους. Όλοι τους λειτουργούν σε 24/96. Το βασικό μοντέλο είναι το EQ1-MK2, το μοντέλο linear phase είναι το EQ1-LP, το μοντέλο dynamic  είναι το EQ1-DYN. Το EQ1-DYN ενσωματώνει και τις εκδόσεις LP και DYN σε μια μονάδα.

An Industry-standard Mastering ToolThe Variable Mu Mastering Version is the perfect addition to any professional mastering facility. In fact, since its introduction, it's quickly become an industry standard mastering tool - and it's the limiter/compressor responsible for an incredible amount of hit records over the last decade. The Manley Variable Mu Mastering Version's detented switches let you easily dial up or log favorite settings. Likened to "pouring a bowl of sweet cream over a mix," if you're looking for the ultimate in mastering weaponry for your pro sound armory, you'll find it in the Manley Variable Mu Mastering Version.Behaves much like the vintage Fairchild 670The Variable Mu uses a compression/limiting technique similar to the beloved vintage Fairchild 670. As "mu" means gain, the Variable Mu Mastering Version offers true variable gain by constantly re-biasing the unique 5670 dual triode at the center of the peak-reducing and compression action, allowing the tube to smoothly change its gain. The Variable Mu Mastering Version offers a soft-knee 1.5:1 compression ratio while its limit mode is sharper knee, starting at 4:1 and moving to 20:1 when limiting over 12dB. The knee softens the more limiting is used. To achieve more sounds, you can creatively use distortion by turning up the input and turning down the output while minimizing your use of compression.Premium switches, for logging and recalling settingsUnlike the standard Variable Mu, which uses smooth-moving pots, the mastering-dedicated Variable Mu Mastering Version offers detented steps. This way, you can easily log your settings or recall them. The steps are built with 1% metal film resistors on sealed gold-contact Grayhill switches. Features:Detented steps using 1% metal film resistors on sealed gold-contact Grayhill switchesManley input & output transformers with pure nickel laminations in mu-metal case with flat frequency response20Hz-25KHz frequency responseBalanced Inputs & OutputsFully differential all-tube circuitry using one each 5670, 5751, 7044, & 12AL5 per channelIndependently regulated B+ and Heater suppliesHard-wire Bypass switchSilent conductive plastic input attenuatorRecovery 5 steps: 0.2s, 0.4s, 0.6s, 4sec., 8sec.
