MasterMind

The shortest way from mix to master

The final stage of tone shaping is mastering. Before serving your track to the listener, this is the absolute final step. Your signal needs to sound good and appropriate in addition to being louder. Soundevice Digital designed MasterMind, which can perform the majority of the tasks automatically for you, to make this delicate job easier for you.

MasterMind Key Features

• Optimize in a second - The heart of the plugin is the Optimizer. After a long development and research of a lot of mastered material, we developed a special algorithm which makes your signal richer, bigger and psychoacoustically better. It simply makes it sound right.

• Match EQ easily - MasterMind's EQ Matching is a shortcut to a perfect-sounding result. You may use it to match the feel of your favourite tracks but also unite the tracks on your album within a few clicks. Simply load a reference material to your track and loop-play to analyze. Then analyze your material and let MasterMind do the magic. Try not to overdo it; because of the difference, the best will be 20-30% of the matching

• Maximize the sound - The louder, the better. MasterMind's limiter will make the mixes sound strong and proud. They will stand out and beat your competition. On top, the limiter section offers a pleasant saturation module to glue everything together.

• Make it wider - The stereo feel and the space perception are integral elements of a perfectly mastered sound. MasterMind will help you to achieve outstanding results using just one knob.

• EQ final touch - MasterMind's EQ section is here to fine-tune both the high-end and low-end EQ curves of your track. It is based on a famous American analogue equalizer mode and gives you a chance to apply nice tube saturation, too.

• Analyze visually - What you get is what you see. MasterMind's analysis section gives you a perfect overview of the three stages of your signal. You can easily monitor input and output but also the signal stage between EQ and limiter. This helps you add even more precision to your work.

• Maximum precision - Mastering requires maximum precision. The high-quality audio engine uses up to 16x oversampling to give you warm analogue style saturation without digital artefacts.

• Hassle-free software protection - No iLok, no dongle nor internet access is required for activation. Our software uses licence files to activate your software. You can freely use the purchased software on all your computers as long as you are the user.

• Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI - The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size - make it smaller to save valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

• 64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate - The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.

• Smart bypass - The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don't get any clicks or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.

• Intelligent sleep on silence - This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all to save the computing sources for other processes.
