Nugen MasterCheck 2 and ISL 2ST Bundle - Electronic Delivery

Product Description

The Nugen MasterCheck 2 and ISL 2ST Bundle gives mastering and mix engineers a complete final stage for streaming-era delivery, letting you hear what listeners will hear and hold peak levels exactly where they need to be. MasterCheck 2 shows how loudness normalization and data compression will affect your track on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Qobuz, and Pandora before it’s released. The Offset to Match function plays your master at each platform’s normalized level, so you can judge whether a hot master is really worth it, and codec auditioning reveals encoding artifacts and inter-sample clipping in real time. Comprehensive integrated loudness, PLR, PSR, and true peak metering covers compliance, and support for up to 7.1.4 channels extends MasterCheck 2 to surround and immersive work, including Dolby Atmos beds. A redesigned, resizable interface with portrait and landscape views fits any screen layout. ISL 2ST completes the chain as an intelligent look-ahead brick-wall limiter that delivers highly transparent true peak limiting for stereo and mono content. It uses ITU-R BS.1770-compliant true peak detection with an Apple afClip option, a two-stage non-linear adaptive algorithm, adjustable look-ahead, and adjustable channel linking. Together they let you check, correct, and confidently deliver masters that translate across every platform.

MASTERCHECK 2 - A GIFT FROM THE FUTURE

MasterCheck is an optimization plug-in for cross-platform mastering, designed to ensure that your masters sound consistent across all platforms — physical, digital and streaming. Audition how loudness normalization will affect your track, and preempt the impact that each codec will have, alongside industry standard loudness and True Peak measurement. Find the sweet spot between perceived loudness and dynamics, and avoid nasty surprises by compensating for encoding artifacts ahead of time.

ISL 2ST - MASTERING AND POST PRODUCTION

ISL is a transparent look-ahead limiter designed to allow you to get on with creative audio production while it takes care of True Peak compliance for you. ISL uses the standardized True Peak algorithms of ITU-R B.S. 1770 and related standards (including Apple ‘afclip’ True Peak detection), and is suitable for the control of audio for post production, music mastering and broadcast applications. True Peak limiting can also be used to ensure that downstream codecs (mp3, AAC etc.) do not introduce distortion into the signal.
