TC Electronic's System 6000 plug-ins are now available for Pro Tools|HD and Accel systems on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs, thanks to the new Universal Binary versions, which also add numerous optimizations and fixes to the existing PowerPC versions.
These updates bring professional production and mastering possibilities known from System 6000 to the realm of Pro Tools on Intel Macs. They are free of charge for existing users and are now available for download at tcelectronic.com .
MD3 Stereo Mastering has two first-class algorithms, MD3 Multi-band Dynamics and BrickWall Limiter.
VSS3 uses Virtual Space Simulation (VSS) to accurately recreate the natural characteristics of acoustic spaces. Multiple instances may be run to associate elements of the mix with different locations, thereby producing a more credible result.
NonLin2 is capable of generating compact vocal ambience, percussive and dramatic drum sounds, reverse reverbs and totally new "twisted" effects.
DVR2 is not only the most precise EMT250 emulation to date; it also emulates the EMT250 in the way parameters interact for different settings. The high resolution parameters allow for lower noise, extension of bandwidth, and control of the amount of chorusing.
UnWrap offers an abundance of parameters to convert stereo and LtRt sources to 5.1, while remaining faithful to the original mix's width, timbre, spaciousness and other significant factors. Because of this approach the 5.1 output can be subsequently down-mixed to stereo again with no sonic penalties.
Concurrently, TC Electronic is offering a free 30-day trial on all its Pro Tools|HD plug-ins from now through May 1st, 2007. The plug-in offering includes six mastering, reverb and surround processing algorithms directly ported from TC's legendary System 6000. Pro Tools users with an iLok account can get the free 30-day fully-functional plug-ins by signing up at www.tcelectronic.com/TDMtrial
