DENOISE
DeNoise comes from TC's acclaimed Restoration Suite
bundle.
DeNoise is optimized for broadband noise removal,
from tape hiss to static environmental noise.
DeNoise is fingerprint-based and its edit tools allow manual adjustment of the
analyzed fingerprints for even more precise processing results.
In version 1.5 the DeNoise plug-in has been updated with an 'auto' mode that makes
it possible to remove noise from material where it is not possible to take a fingerprint
– for instance if there are no parts with noise only. Fingerprints can now be adjusted
independently for left and right channels.
DYNAMIC EQ
Dynamic EQ is a new tool for any mixing or mastering
situation. This virtual processor eliminates the
shortcomings of static EQ by providing a dynamically
applied equalization.
The Dynamic EQ plug-in offers up to four definable
bands working either in static or dynamic mode, or in
a mixture of both. Each of the bands can be configured as a parametric EQ or as a
high or low shelving filter. The side-chain bands can be unlinked from the processing
bands, so the high frequency content of a mix can control the low-end and vice
versa. The pristine processing of this plug-in is all in 48-bit double precision, and
may even be used in a phase linear mode, that is generous with transparent results.
Dynamic EQ represents a new generation of mastering tools for the POWERCORE
platform and this virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by
providing a marriage between dynamics processing and EQ.
On top of the plug-ins that are included with PowerCore, there is a broad selection of
optional plug-ins available. These plug-ins are developed by TC Electronic as well as
a number of 3rd party developers like Sonnox, Access, Novation, TC Helicon and
Dsound. The optional plug-ins are available from store around the world and from
TC's web shop.
When you buy an optional plug-in, it will be licensed to your PowerCore hardware and
sent to you by email. Therefore, this procedure requires you to register your
PowerCore and your email address.
ADDITIONAL PLUG-INS WITH POWERCORE 6000
In addition to the Base Plug-ins described in the previous manual section, PowerCore
6000 also includes the following plug-ins from System 6000
VSS3
The VSS3 Stereo Source Reverb for ProTools and PowerCore
is a genuine and original reverb directly ported from the
System 6000. The VSS3 algorithm was researched and fine-
tuned by TC engineers for over a year, resulting in an
exceptionally precise tool. Similar to the chaotic response of
a natural room, the VSS3 reacts differently to identical
signals.
Used for effects purposes, extensive modulation possibilities are offered for the
creation of detuned or chorused sustain effects for e.g. vocal, guitar, piano or horns.
Inherent in the VSS3 algorithm there are almost 800 parameters, equaling an
astronomical amount of combinations, and this impressive set of parameters has
been condensed to a very substantial and pertinent user interface.
With the VSS3 you get a package of presets that have become industry standards.
The sound of VSS3 can be heard on thousands of albums and films.
MD3
The MD3 Stereo Mastering package brings processing only
known from the System 6000 to ProTools and PowerCore.
This package presents professional production and mastering
possibilities to the realm of DAWs, and integrates smoothly
with serious music and film editing applications.
Dual Mono and Stereo dynamics processing in three frequency bands. By offering a
true side-chain split structure, MD3 is also capable of demanding mono material
compression/limiting on two separate channels, not found in other multi-band
dynamics processors. MD3 can be regarded as a high-end mastering tool. M and S
components of a stereo signal can be processed separately and provide even more
control making full use of the Spectral Stereo Enhancer.
BRICKWALL LIMITER
If you are concerned about audio quality at the end listener,
or have a desire to conserve talent, the BrickWall Limiter is
the solution. While it cannot prevent destruction of dynamic
range from happening at earlier stages in the production
process, it does get rid of the signals known to generate
distortion in consumer CD players, radio processors and data
reduction codecs.
