TL MasterMeter Offers Oversampled Metering for Pro Tools
 July 28, 2003 Trillium Lane Labs announced TL MasterMeter for the Digidesign Pro Tools
platform.
TL MasterMeter is an oversampling digital meter software for Pro
Tools.
By harnessing the DSP power of Pro Tools, TL MasterMeter digitally
models the
same conversion process which occurs inside the digital to analog stage
of a
consumer CD player. TL MasterMeter allows mixing and mastering engineers
to identify
potential intersample peaks and ensure that a final mix will not create
undesirable
digital clipping by producing peaks which exceed 0dB.
"Industry trends are demanding louder and 'hotter' mixes and mastering
than ever before,"
said Jared Vogt of Trillium Lane Labs. "We are excited to announce the
first plug-in
for Pro Tools which enables an engineer to model how digital mixes are
reproduced
on a CD player, and use that knowledge to avoid distorted mixes and
deliver the best
possible audio quality."
TL MasterMeter features 2x, 4x and 8x oversampling DSP models and
displays
both regular and intersample peaks. A sample accurate historical peak
list
allows an engineer to identify peaks anywhere in a Pro Tools session.
Peak
lists can be saved to the clipboard for later review.
Trillium Lane Labs has also published a white paper on their web site shortly outlining how
digital distortion occurs and how oversampling meters can help engineers
produce better mixes.
TL MasterMeter is available for Pro Tools 6.x on Macintosh OS X.
Pricing and Availability
TL MasterMeter will be available worldwide in August 2003 for Pro Tools
6.x Macintosh systems directly from Trillium Lane Labs or its
distributors. TL MasterMeter is priced at $199. TL MasterMeter is also available in a
bundle with TL Metro and TL InTune for $349.
A free 7-day
downloadable demos is available.
