Nugen Audio has updated its MasterCheck Pro loudness, dynamics and codec toolset plug-in to Version 1.5 – with enhancements embracing support for the Apple AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) iTunes Plus native OS-X codec, and also the PSR (Peak to Short-Term Loudness Ratio) measurement update to AES Engineering Brief 373.
MasterCheck Pro v1.5 supports the Apple AAC iTunes Plus native OS-X codec, people producing to the MFIT (Mastering for iTunes) standard can take advantage of real-time monitoring of the native Apple codec in OS-X from within a DAW.
In the course of its authoring, Nugen Audio joined the AES on a panel of experts to write an engineering brief – AES Engineering Brief 373 (Measuring Micro-Dynamics – A First Step: Standardising PSR, the Peak to Short-Term Loudness Ratio) – on PSR, pushing to encourage consistency and adoption among manufacturers and engineers, and harmonise use. Version 1.5 of MasterCheck Pro updates its PSR measurement in line with the resulting AES panel recommendations contained within that brief (available for download in the AES E-Library).
MasterCheck Pro v1.5 is available as a 32- and 64-bit AX, AU, VST and VST3-compatible plug-in for Mac (OS-X 10.7 and above) and Windows (Vista and above) for £126.00 (ex. VAT)/US$199/€155.00 (ex. VAT).
