iZotope's Room Simulation (Reverb) module

iZotope Inc. has announced Mastering Essentials, a new tool designed specifically for Acoustica Mixcraft Pro Studio 6, the latest edition of the company's Windows-based DAW (due to be released in March 2012). By licensing elements from Ozone, iZotope's flagship mastering suite, Acoustica is offering a basic mastering solution for musicians of any level.

"Mastering Essentials is the perfect intro to mastering," explains Alex Westner, iZotope's Director of Business Development. "With over 80 presets to choose from, users can get going quickly with great results. We take it a step further, though, by letting musicians experiment with customizing their sound. The three additional EQ, Reverb, and Tube Amplifier modules allow users to grow and expand their capabilities as they become more comfortable with mastering their own music."

iZotope's Mastering Essentials features a Valve EQ module with 4-band EQ; Room Simulation (Reverb) module with controls for reverb and stereo widening, including a vector scope for visualizing the stereo spread of the audio; Tube Amplifier module offering Bass Compression, a Tube Limiter, and Tube Saturation components; and more than 80 presets, including presets for general use, special FX, audio enhancement, restoration, and more than 40 different genre presets

Mastering Essentials is available from iZotope for third-party and OEM licensing for Mac or Windows applications. For more information, contact licensing@izotope.com.
