Unlock unprecedented space for audio mastering, preserving pristine quality with an extended +27 dB of headroom. You gain greater control over the dynamic range, enabling you to fine-tune the volume levels and nuances of each individual element within the mix. Whether you’re working with delicate acoustic recordings or powerful electronic compositions, xfilter|mastering Edition ensures that every detail and sonic subtlety can be precisely sculpted to perfection.
True Stereo Operation
Using an analog EQ on a stereo buss can be quite tricky, as only very few units offer the possibility to link their two mono channels for true stereo processing.
While there are so many compressors in the market that can be linked for stereo operation, why are there almost no EQs which can do this, too?
One of the main answers is component tolerances. Obviously, you want the two linked channels to behave exactly the same, but natural tolerances of potentiometers and capacitors counteract this ideal characteristic.
xfilter solves this problem by using computer-selected dual and quad layer pots as well as special low tolerance caps.
