TC Electronic Releases MD3 Stereo Mastering and DVR2 Plug-ins for Pro Tools|HD
(June 9, 2006) — TC Electronic is happy to announce the immediate availability of the MD3 Stereo Mastering package for Pro Tools|HD. Ported from TC’s superior processing flagship System 6000, the MD3 includes two first-class
algorithms, MD3 Multiband Dynamics and BrickWall Limiter. The MD3 Stereo Mastering Package for Pro Tools|HD is shipping now at EUR 1295 and GBP 950 retail ex. VAT.

MD3 features a multiband 48-bit internal resolution structure, and offers a 3-band compressor and expander, a 4-band parametric equalizer, and a limiter in one powerful algorithm. MD3 can be configured for stereo or dual mono processing, and used on single sources as well as composite stereo mixes. Alternatively, stereo material may be processed in the MS domain, or MD3 may take in MS signals and convert them to stereo with processing taking place in either the LR or MS domain.

BrickWall Limiter is a stereo/dual mono limiter with new features and technology designed to adapt to the audio signal, investigate if this signal is contaminated with 0dBFS+ peaks - and to remove them if so desired. This prevents sustained distorting in consumer equipment not designed to handle audio signals that are squashed against a full scale - 0 dBFS - peak level in DA converters and data reduction codec (MP3, AAC etc.).

TC Electronic Releases DVR2 for ProTools|HD

TC Electronic is excited to announce the immediate availability of the DVR2 for Pro Tools|HD. This professional reverb is ported from the revered System 6000, and is the most precise EMT250 emulator to date. It is perfect for both studio and live use (think VENUE). DVR2 is shipping now at USD 745, EUR 595 and GBP 450 retail ex. VAT.

DVR2 is presenting fine-tuned qualities of the original processor such as sweet modulation, spectral balance, spaciousness and saturation. The Vintage Reset function produces a sound very close to a well preserved EMT250, which is still a favorite on lead vocal in studios fortunate enough to own one.

Its hi-res parameter allow for lowering noise, extension of bandwidth, exaggerating or backing off the amount of chorusing. It also emulates its predecessor in the way parameters interact for different settings. The DVR2 comes with customizable presets and focus fields for tweaking and navigation.
