与MagicDeathEye持续且富有成效的合作的第二个产品是忠实地模拟他们的立体声主总线压缩器和均衡器。从硬件描述来看："立体声压缩器是两个单声道压缩器电路，带有一些为母带和总线压缩而设计的额外功能。这个新版本增加了一个均衡器部分。有两个（仅限升压）频带，每个频带有两个频率选择。均衡器被工作在可变Mu管增益结构中。这意味着它不是在压缩部分之前或之后，而是在压缩部分之内。均衡器电路基于电感器，具有宽曲线，用于提供"小东西"的节目素材。还有一个双频低切，用于收紧失控的低音。频带的升压可以在5个步骤之间进行5dB或3dB的分割。我每天花很多时间塑造这个母带均衡器并微调组件。周末。这听起来太棒了。"

因此，除了第二个通道，它与硬件角色模型不同，已经添加到"单声道"MDE插件中，我们在这里添加了EQ部分，压缩曲线实际上与单声道版本大不相同。如果有人问这两者的用途有什么不同，单声道压缩器通常会在单独的轨道上运行，而立体声压缩器具有明显更平缓的压缩曲线和额外的均衡器选项，将在主总线上运行。
当然，在尽可能靠近硬件的同时，我们再次自由地在软件插件中实现了一些额外的功能：高频均衡器可以应用于整个立体声场，仅适用于中频或侧信号。相反，对于低频范围，在乙烯基母带制作时，侧信号上的可选椭圆滤波器将非常有帮助。谐波失真的量可以从0%变化到100%，其中50%对应于硬件单元的级别。输入和输出增益可以联系起来。最后，插件中有一个2倍甚至4倍过采样的选项。
很明显，这个华丽的管式压缩器不仅仅是单声道模型的一个微小变化：在毫不费力地展示流畅而富有音乐感的MagicDeathEye签名声音的同时，它给人一种不同的感觉。少数幸运的人已经能够为单声道和立体声版本都创作自己的版本（他们很难找到，因为伊恩正在手工制作每一个版本），他们会知道我在说什么
The second product of the ongoing and very fruitful collaboration with MagicDeathEye is a faithful emulation of their stereo master buss compressor & equalizer. From the description of the hardware: "The stereo compressor is two mono compressor circuits with some extras designed for mastering and buss compression duties. This new version has an added EQ section. There are two (boost only) bands with two frequency selections each. The EQ is worked into the Variable Mu tube gain structure. This means it is not before or after the compression section, it is within it. The EQ circuit is inductor based and has wide curves for giving program material that "little something". There is also a two frequency low cut for tightening up out of control bass. The boost of the bands can be 5dB or 3dB split between 5 steps. I spent a lot of time shaping this EQ mastering everyday and fine tuning the components on the weekends. It sounds absolutely fabulous."

So apart from the second channel, which, unlike in its hardware role model, has already been added in the "mono" MDE plugin, we have an added EQ section here, and the compression curve is actually quite different from the mono version. If one would ask about the difference in purpose of the two, the mono compressor would usually go on individual tracks, while the stereo compressor, with its noticeably more gentle compression curve and the additional EQ options, would go on the master buss.
Of course, while trying to stay as close to the hardware as possible sound-wise, we have again taken the liberty to implement some additional goodies in the software plugin: the high frequency EQ can be applied to the full stereo field, the mid or the side signal only. Conversely, for the low frequency range, an optional elliptical filter on the side signal will be very helpful when mastering for vinyl. The amount of harmonic distortion can be varied from 0 to 100 percent, where 50 percent corresponds to the level of the hardware unit. In- and output gain can be linked. Finally, there is an option for 2- or even 4-fold oversampling within the plugin.
Clearly, this magnificent tube compressor is not just a slight variation of the mono model: while effortlessly demonstrating that smooth and musical MagicDeathEye signature sound, it has a different feel to it. The few fortunate people who were already able to score their own build of both the mono and the stereo version (they are hard to come by as Ian is building each and everyone of them by hand) will know what I'm talking |
