NUGEN Audio has announced the release of a major update of its optimization plugin for cross-platform mastering.
MasterCheck 2 comes with surround support for up to 7.1.4 channels, an emulation for additional streaming services to reflect the expanded audio landscape, and a resizeable interface with a new landscape view.
MasterCheck is an optimisation plug-in for cross-platform mastering, designed to ensure that your masters sound consistent across all platforms — physical, digital and streaming. Audition how loudness normalisation will affect your track, and preempt the impact that each codec will have, alongside industry standard loudness and True Peak measurement.
Find the sweet spot between perceived loudness and dynamics, and avoid nasty surprises by compensating for encoding artefacts ahead of time.
The code for MasterCheck 2 was rewritten from the ground up to optimize compatibility with the latest DAWs and operating systems.
MasterCheck 2 for Windows and Mac is available to purchase for $249 USD at Plugin Boutique and from the NUGEN Audio store. Owners of MasterCheck can upgrade to MasterChecker 2 for $79 USD.
