![]() In fact, I usually upsample to 96k or 88.2k if the source files come in at 48k or 44.1k respectively. I do as much processing at the highest sample rate possible. R8brain by Voxengo is decent too from what I hear and I believe it's PC only so therefor I haven't tried it. The price is super affordable and you get some other useful batch processing tools but Myriad is Mac only. Myriad by Audiofile Engineering has a great Sample Rate Conversion processor programmed by Goodhertz. The price is less that Saracon and you get a ton of other extremely useful stuff. RX5 is a must have for me just for the spectral repair tools. IZotope SRC which is built into the RX5 Audio Editor/Repair suite. Other good options, some of which I'll use in favor of Saracon now and then are: I mostly use Weiss Saracon which is considered too expensive by most peoples standards but it sounds phenomenal. Samplitude is really useful for most mastering tasks, but my version doesn't support DDP output. At what point do you recommend doing sample rate conversion, and what software do you use to do it? I have Reaper and Samplitude, but not Wavelab. Most of my projects are recorded at 48 Khz, and so I typically also mix to 48 Khz. I'm not a mastering engineer, but I do find myself mastering some of my own "non'critical" projects. ![]() TDR SlickEQ is pretty sweet for that final sheen. ReaEQ is ok, but I prefer Melda's MEqualizer (free in the bundle), or TDR Nova dynamic EQ, also free. TDR Kotelnikov is a mastering\buss compressor - it's excellent, and also free ReaXComp can handle multi-band compression duties if needed.ĭan Worrel(sp?) has the '5orrcery' multi-band compressor available from his site (Platinum Ears), but it's made with Synthedit which means it's 32 bit and Windows only. ![]() I have the full version but the differences are minimal. Melda Production's Free Bundle includes an EBU r128 compliant loudness meter, or there's ToneBoosters EBU meter which is EUR 20.Ĭomputer Music gave away a version of ToneBoosters Barricade limiter. Does Reaper have that? I really don't do much recording-mastering nowadays because I have been in a music writing dry spell. The Mastering Show podcast mentions a "loudness" meter. I think at the time of this article I was using a combination of Pro Tools and WaveLab but since have moved to using REAPER and WaveLab. If you're looking for mastering plugins, that's an entirely separate topic but many people think of mastering as the sonic processing and forget about the technical details. Some affordable alternatives to WaveLab Pro (WaveLab Elements is too limited) would be Triumph by Audiofile Engineering, DSP Quattro, Studio One V3, or even HOFA CD Burn
