MeldaProduction has announced the release of MStereoGenerator, an artificial stereo image generator.
MStereoGenerator is a unique mono to stereo (or even surround) expander, which makes your tracks sound wider, stronger and punchier. And it’s perfect for almost any audio material from vocals and saxophones to drums. Integrated equalizer lets you adjust which parts of the spectrum you want to expand and stereo scope gives you an immediate view of the resulting stereo width.
MStereoGenerator can generate an artificial stereo image from mono tracks or expand existing stereo image. And is almost completely mono compatible.
MStereoGenerator features
Unique widening algorithm.
2D stereo field analyzer and channel peak meters.
4 global modulators.
M/S, single channel, up to 8 channels surround processing.
Smart randomization.
Automatic gain compensation (AGC).
Extremely advanced and easy-to-use user interface.
MIDI controllers with MIDI learn.
Very fast, optimized for SSE and SSE2 processors.
Global preset management and online preset exchange.
Fully automatable.
Supports VST, VST3 and AU interfaces on Windows & Mac, both 32-bit and 64-bit.
MStereoGenerator is available for the introductory price of 20 EUR (regular 50 EUR). The plug-in is free to MTotalBundle and MMixingBundle users.
MeldaProduction has also released MStereoScope, a freeware effect plug-in.
MStereoScope is a stereo width analyzer, which also lets you solo specific parts of the signal – mid, side and separate channels.
Furthermore, MeldaProduction’s plugins were updated to version 7.04, providing some more fixes and optimizations, including the addition of virtual keyboards to all text input fields and much more.
Finally, there is no need to second guess your sample-peak limiter time and time again, or deliberately increase headroom to avoid a downstream problem. Now you can simply dial in your True-peak limit and let ISL take care of the rest.
ISL is a transparent look-ahead limiter designed to allow you to get on with creative audio production while it takes care of True-peak compliance for you.
ISL uses the standardised True-Peak algorithms of ITU-R B.S. 1770 and related standards and is suitable for the control of audio for Post Production and Broadcast applications. True Peak limiting can also be used to ensure that down-stream Codecs (mp3, AAC etc.) do not introduce distortion into the signal.
ISL features
Loudness compatible limiting.
Protect against distortion introduced by lossy codecs.
Don’t guess, set TP limit directly from the specification to ensure compliance.
Mix with your ears, ISL takes care of the rest.
ISL for Windows and Mac (VST/AU/RTAS/AudioSuite) is available to purchase for $249 USD.

MeterPlugs has announced the release of the LCAST Loudness Meter effect plug-in for broadcast.
LCAST supports all the major loudness specs and has easy-to-use presets for the most popular ones.
LCAST makes it easy to take loudness measurements and supports the latest loudness standards, ATSC A/85, EBU R128 and ITU BS.1770-2, which aim to eliminate loud commercials and improve audio quality in broadcast.
If you are working with mono and stereo programmes, LCAST Stereo gives you everything you need to ensure your programmes meet broadcast requirements:
support for ATSC A/85, EBU R128 and ITU BS.1770-2;
loudness history plot, which shows you how loudness loudness–momentary, short-term and integrated–changes over time (up to 24 hours);
loudness range display;
custom loudness variance measurement, which shows you how dynamic your audio is;
true-peak metering for each channel;
overload indicators with adjustable threshold;
gated and un-gated loudness; and
custom color regions in the history plot.
LCAST Surround includes all the same features but gives you surround sound, up to 5.1 channels. It also includes loudness logging, a powerful feature that allows you to export all loudness data recorded by LCAST into a CSV file, which can be opened in a 3rd party app like Microsoft Excel. This gives you the flexibility to create custom reports, perform additional processing and integrate LCAST into your workflow.
LCAST for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available to purchase for $199 USD (Stereo) / $399 USD (Surround).
IK Multimedia has announced the release of ARC 2, an update for the acoustic correction system that combines a measurement microphone, measurement software and a correction plug-in for most popular DAWs to improve the acoustics and sonic reliability of your studio.
ARC works by measuring your room using the included measurement microphone and measurement software and then generates an algorithm to provide a correction of your room’s acoustic problems that you can apply to your mix using the included plug-in.
You can record and mix with confidence knowing that what you hear from your speakers is a faithful representation of how your music will translate to the outside world.
The ARC advanced room correction system just got more advanced.
New in ARC 2
Completely redesigned interface for improved usability.
Smoother, more natural sound in the mid-range and high frequencies.
New combined L/R correction option maintains focus in perfectly symmetrical control rooms.
New customizable target curves now can match engineers’ personal timbre tastes.
New “Alt References” templates mimic the sound of consumer listening devices like car systems, speaker boxes, etc. allowing the engineer to test how mixes translate on different systems.
New Monitor Control panel interface streamlines workflow.
Fewer measurements now provide higher quality results and shortens set-up time.
Measurements can be saved and used for multiple correction set-ups.
ARC 2 is available to purchase for $299.99 USD / €249.99 EUR. Registered ARC users can update to ARC 2 for the introductory price of $99.99 USD / €84.99 EUR until August 31, 2012 (regular $149.99 USD / €124.99 EUR). Prices exc. taxes.
