Trinity is an effective integrated mastering solution for digital music production enthusiasts & professionals, containing a set of precisely matched and fine-tuned creative tools for achieving the desired sound and loudness. Focused on a reference-based mastering workflow, Trinity lets you work with an optional reference track whose sound you want to achieve, using a flexible spectrum analyzer to aid in comparing and matching. All controls and sliders are fine-tuned for ease of use, appropriate sensitivity and defaults, making adjustments easy and efficient. Everything is available on a single screen without any distracting menu-diving. 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz sample rates are supported, as well as the following audio file types for import: WAV, MP3, AIFF, MP4, AAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless). Note that very long audio files (> 20 minutes) are not supported. For a detailed guide on how to use Trinity, please visit our website! REFERENCE-BASED MASTERING: - In addition to the raw input audio file, another (professionally produced) track can be loaded as a reference - Easy and immediate switching between both tracks for comparison and adjusting the app's controls to attain the desired sound - Seek bars with waveform previews and one-click seeking - One-click section looping for focusing on a certain part of the track SPECTRUM ANALYSIS: - High-resolution and responsive FFT averaging frequency analyzer - Differential Spectrum feature can show the spectral differences between input and reference track for visual matching - Adjustable response time (averaging) - Precise Full-resolution or Smooth Half Octave Averaged display EQUALIZATION: - Transparent Low-Cut Filter with adjustable cutoff frequency and 12 or 24 dB/octave slope - High-Shelving EQ with either a gentle characteristic or a steeper 12 dB/octave slope and variable gain and frequency for fine-tuning brilliance - Up to three freely adjustable general-purpose peaking EQs - Visualization of overall response curve MULTIBAND DYNAMICS: - Three frequency bands with adjustable crossover frequencies - Two selectable crossover types (custom-designed, smooth Trinity crossover or more surgical phase-corrected 24 dB/oct Linkwitz-Riley (LR4) crossover) - Ratio, Attack, Knee, Release and Gain controls per band - Global "Compress" control and per-band Density control with intelligent make-up gain replace the traditional "Threshold" controls for easier operation - Precise gain reduction meters - The compressor section's response can optionally be included in the spectrum response curve display - Solo toggles to isolate bands for precise tuning NORMALIZATION: - Automatic base normalization of input file - Two realtime normalizers (pre- and post multiband section) with optional analog saturation for transient cleanup, additional loudness maximization or sound shaping MULTIBAND STEREO PROCESSING: - Simple but effective Three-Band Stereo Width (M/S) controls from Mono to Extra-Wide - Fine-tuned with love, individually per band, for keeping perceived loudness and giving useful results - Basic Goniometer (Phase Scope) WAVESHAPER: - Optional Wave Shaping with five selectable algorithms - HQ toggle for High-Quality Oversampling LIMITER / CLIPPER: - Either a look-ahead brickwall limiter or a hard clipper can be used in the final stage depending on taste - Adjustable Attack and Release - Adjustable output ceiling from -2 to 0 dBFS METERING: - Responsive and accurate stereo output meters - RMS or LUFS (Momentary, Short Term, Integrated) metering - PEAK metering always shown simultaneously - Normalizers with accurate saturation / clip indication EXPORT: - Export as 16/24-bit standard or 32-bit float WAV file - Optional rectangular dithering NOTE: Trinity currently does not support running in the background, so your audio will stop as soon as you leave the app or lock the device. This might change in a future update.

BLEASS Multiband Compressor is the perfect tool for injecting loudness, power and punch into your mixes, stems and tracks. Whether you are creating music on-the-move on your iPad, producing your masterpiece in the studio, or doing both, BLEASS Multiband Compressor dispenses detailed precision control over your music's dynamics. One of the secret weapons of professional mix and mastering engineers, multiband dynamics processors have various advantages over conventional broadband processors. By separating your audio into three frequency bands, and processing each independently, BLEASS Multiband Compressor ensures that loud passages and transients in one frequency range do not impact on how the other bands behave. This eliminates the "volume pumping" effect often exhibited by broadband compressors, making BLEASS Multiband Compressor the perfect tool for processing drum kits, synths, pianos and – of course – full mixes and stems. The plugin works brilliantly with other sources too, from solo instruments to vocals and spoken voice. Unusually for a multiband processor, each of BLEASS Multiband Compressor's three bands features a dual stage dynamics processor. This consists of an Above stage that senses for and processes signals whose level exceeds the Above threshold, and a Below stage that senses for and processes signals that are quieter than the Below threshold. Additionally, each stage can operate as either a compressor or, by dialing in Ratio values below 1:1, an expander. Altogether this makes for phenomenally versatile control over the volume and loudness of your mixes, stems and parts. Another innovative feature of BLEASS Multiband Compressor is its flexible sidechain system. This allows you to choose which bands will key from the input signal in the normal way, and which will key from a filtered and/or external signal. This is ideal for corrective work such as controlling resonances, sibilances and other unwanted artefacts, but is also a fabulous creative tool, allowing for stylish ducking effects and ultra-deep dynamics control. Rounding things off, the plugin provides comprehensive output level and dry / wet balance control, along with a soft clipping feature that ensures overly-hot signals don't become nasty and harsh, but instead take on a classic valve-like saturation character. BLEASS Multiband Compressor stands out for its great sound, innovative features, versatile dynamics control, and exceptional efficiency.
