Summary

The Acon Digital Mix & Mastering Plugin Suite is a collection of six audio processing plug-ins designed for transparent and precise mixing and mastering. It includes Dynamics, Multiband Dynamics, Equalize, Limit, Verberate (reverb), and Dither plug-ins, compatible with major plugin formats for seamless integration.

Features

• Dynamics: Combined compressor, expander, and gate with intelligent look-ahead, oversampling, side chain equalizer, auto-release, and mix control for parallel compression.
• Multiband Dynamics: Dynamic processing in up to four frequency bands with adjustable crossover frequencies, filter slopes, and linear or mixed phase filtering to reduce pre-ringing.
• Limit: Transparent limiter with intelligent look-ahead, pre-compressor stage, oversampling up to 4x, auto-release, and channel linking controls aimed at clean loudness enhancement.
• Equalize: Parametric equalizer with up to 12 bands, multiple filter types, adjustable frequency, gain, bandwidth, resonance, and filter slope up to 120 dB/octave. Multiple filter modes including minimum, linear, and mixed phase; spectrum analyzers; preset management.
• Verberate 2: Algorithmic reverb with the Vivid Hall algorithm for natural, lively acoustic environments. It avoids mechanical convolution reverb sounds with time variance and transparent tails.
• Dither: Professional dithering plug-in with perceptual noise shaping for transparent bit-depth reduction essential in final mastering stages.

Compatibility

• Supported on Windows 10/11 and macOS (including ARM64 and Intel), requiring compatible hosts supporting VST, VST3, AAX, and AU formats.
• Supports sampling rates up to 96 kHz and multi-channel audio up to 7.1.6 immersive formats.

Usage and Target Audience

Designed for both seasoned engineers and aspiring producers, the suite offers intuitive interfaces and professional-grade processing tools to produce transparent, high-quality mixes and masters. The included tutorial series demonstrates practical mixing and mastering workflows using only these plug-ins.
