After 20 years earning it, sorry to disappoint but no we don't have anything smaller for you.

[Sampleconstruct]

I see.

[VitaminD]

I see.

Teddy Riley may not be able to work without it. I wonder if he sits in silence, pondering how he ever got on beforehand?



Joking aside, I'm interested in seeing what is announced. Mastering product.. I wonder if this will be an iZotope Ozone competitor?

[ksandvik]

It's one of those 'select a preset and it sounds like mastered by Gavin Lurssen' products.

[xamido]

Ah IK, never change please. I like your extravagant marketing and ur persistence to still post on KVR despite being bullied all the time.

Anyway, i hope it's something like Ozone or some high end Hardware emulation. I'd be disappointed if u're doing another one of those Waves one knob plugins.

Nah, it's their new boutique line. For $100,000, you can get your music to sound like Gavin Lurssen mastered it because he will actually come to your house and master it.

[monkeymanx]

Is it going to be a book with information on how to actually mix and master? And then years of experience in the form of a pill? Hahaha!!! Sorry, I had to say it.

Hate to say it but anything "revolutionary" at this point is shooting pretty high. Revolutionary was the first host and first plug in. Most of this stuff has been baby steps with an evolution every now and again. At this point I think we are doing pretty good as far as audio software tools and competition is high.

It's true but unfortunately only by their own standards.

Thanks (after all, I'm still floored by how many people believe success can be achieved in a vacuum without actually marketing your products/services - and that marketing doesn't make great plugins and products bad it just lets people know they actually exist...) and don't let the wild assumptions get you down. NAMM isn't that far off.

@jsp1979 - I think he's already available, though probably not for house calls. We overlapped at Berklee but he was further in the program so sadly I did not have any classes with Gavin or anything exciting like that. He's great what he does, we're lucky to work with him.

@murnau - Hardly. The real world is far different than the wild west of KVR and those they demonize and devalue.

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

Also, I'm assuming people here have actually heard of him? A search of his last name showed zero results here, compared to many results elsewhere so that could be part of the problem. Apologies if I've assumed that more here were actually aware of one of the top mastering engineers in the business.

Less is more, by far, hyperboling to a certain extend, sure, but there is a border where it just gets ot.

I hadn't but that is because names don't do a thing for me so I don't pay attention to them... especially for genres of music to which I don't listen. Unless, of course, you suspect the 'average' end user of this software will be able to generate comparable results as said top mastering engineer.

Otherwise, it seems rather dubious to tie a name to a product as it seems to imply one can get comparable results as them. So I'd rather just wait and see what the software is and how well it functions for me, non top mastering engineer, versus the products I already own and use.

On the other hand, if it does generate comparable results, Mr. Lurssen might be in trouble.

Peter, Will this new Mastering processor be a module for T-RackS? Can't wait to see what exactly it is.
