Trinity | Audio Mastering

3 Band Reference Based Audio Mastering.

Trinity is an effective integrated mastering solution for digital music production enthusiasts & professionals, containing a set of precisely matched and fine-tuned creative tools for achieving the desired sound and loudness.

Focused on a reference-based mastering workflow, Trinity lets you work with an optional reference track whose sound you want to achieve, using a flexible spectrum analyzer to aid in comparing and matching.

All controls and sliders are fine-tuned for ease of use, appropriate sensitivity and defaults, making adjustments easy and efficient. Everything is available on a single screen without any distracting menu-diving.

44.1, 48 and 96 kHz sample rates are supported, as well as the following audio file types for import: WAV, MP3, AIFF, MP4, AAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless). Note that very long audio files (> 20 minutes) are not supported.

Reference-based Mastering

• In addition to the raw input audio file, another (professionally produced) track can be loaded as a reference.
• Easy and immediate switching between both tracks for comparison and adjusting the app's controls to attain the desired sound.
• Seek bars with waveform previews and one-click seeking.
• One-click section looping for focusing on a certain part of the track.

Spectrum Analysis

• High-resolution and responsive FFT averaging frequency analyzer.
• Differential Spectrum feature can show the spectral differences between input and reference track for visual matching.
• Adjustable response time (averaging).
• Precise Full-resolution or Smooth Half Octave Averaged display.

Equalization

• Transparent Low-Cut Filter with adjustable cutoff frequency and 12 or 24 dB/octave slope.
• High-Shelving EQ with either a gentle characteristic or a steeper 12 dB/octave slope and variable gain and frequency for fine-tuning brilliance.
• Up to three freely adjustable general-purpose peaking EQs
• Visualization of overall response curve.

Multiband Dynamics

• Three frequency bands with adjustable crossover frequencies.
• Two selectable crossover types (custom-designed, smooth Trinity crossover or more surgical phase-corrected 24 dB/oct Linkwitz-Riley (LR4) crossover).
• Ratio, Attack, Knee, Release and Gain controls per band.
• Global "Compress" control and per-band Density control with intelligent make-up gain replace the traditional "Threshold" controls for easier operation.
• Precise gain reduction meters.
• The compressor section's response can optionally be included in the spectrum response curve display.
• Solo toggles to isolate bands for precise tuning.

Normalization

• Automatic base normalization of input file.
• Two realtime normalizers (pre- and post multiband section) with optional analog saturation for transient cleanup, additional loudness maximization or sound shaping.

Multiband Stereo Processing

• Simple but effective Three-Band Stereo Width (M/S) controls from Mono to Extra-Wide.
• Fine-tuned with love, individually per band, for keeping perceived loudness and giving useful results.
• Basic Goniometer (Phase Scope).

Waveshaper

• Optional Wave Shaping with five selectable algorithms.
• HQ toggle for High-Quality Oversampling.

Limiter / Clipper

• Either a look-ahead brickwall limiter or a hard clipper can be used in the final stage depending on taste.
• Adjustable Attack and Release.
• Adjustable output ceiling from -2 to 0 dBFS.

Metering

• Responsive and accurate stereo output meters.
• RMS or LUFS (Momentary, Short Term, Integrated) metering.
• PEAK metering always shown simultaneously.
• Normalizers with accurate saturation / clip indication.

Export

• Export as either standard 16/24-bit, or 32-bit float WAV files.
• Optional rectangular dithering
