What do Masters of mastering think about PSP MasterComp?
- I haven’t played with the PSP MasterComp long enough for more than a first impression but it really had me smiling about several very “hi-fi” sounding hip-hop tracks I was mastering today. It helped without stepping on the truly wonderful sound of my client’s mixes. Thinking about it, I can’t imagine a better first impression! – Bob Olhsson, Audio Mastery, Nashville TN, US (Monitoring: Duntech Sovereigns driven by a pair of Hafler 9505 amps)
- PSP Master Compressor will deliver sonic results that won’t compromise musicality and will retain transparency during signal processing. This is a rare occasion in the digital world. I applaud the PSP team in their efforts to deliver a signal processor of this caliber – Sakis Anastopoulos, DigiSound Mastering, Forest Hill, VIC, Australia (Monitoring: NotePerfect Maestro)
- In a trial on an energetic blues vocal and piano track, the Master Comp did as well controlling peaks as one of my better analog compressors. The sound was smooth and clear – Alan Silverman, Arf! Digital, New York NY, US
