Acon Digital Mastering Suite 1.1.2
Acon Digital Mastering Suite consists of five plug-ins for audio mastering that were designed for ultimate signal transparency. Mastering Suite is available for PC and Macintosh and supports the VST, VST3, AAX and AU plug-in formats. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are available.
We have updated our Mastering Suite consisting of five mastering plug-ins to version 1.1. The plug-ins were designed for maximum signal transparency and an intuitive workflow. The macOS version now supports Catalina.

Dynamics is a combined compressor, expander or gate with powerful sidechain filtering. Dynamics now offers a new auto-release mode that dynamically changes the release time depending on the audio material. A new range control makes it possible to limit the maximum gain reduction during dynamic processing. Parallel compression is easily achieved using the new mix knob that controls the mix of processed and unprocessed audio.
Multiband Dynamics is the multiband extension of Dynamics which allows dynamic processing in up to four separate bands. In addition to the linear phase processing previously available, version 1.1 introduces mixed phase filtering which reduces pre-ringing — a well-known problem with linear phase filtering. Pre-ringing smears sharp transients and thus degrades the audio quality. The new Channel Linking parameter controls how independently channels are processed.
Limit is a transparent limiter that reduces distortion to a minimum. The limiting is performed in a two-step process with a pre-compressor followed by the actual peak limiting algorithm. Just like Dynamics, the pre-compressor has a new auto-release mode that adapts the release time to the audio material.
Also included in the suite are our versatile equalizer plug-in Equalize 2 and Dither, a dithering plug-in with flexible perceptual noise shaping. All plug-ins now offer a search button in the preset manager that makes it easy to type and find plug-in presets.
The upgrade is free for current Mastering Suite customers. The regular price is $129.90 USD, however there’s an introductory offer until March 1st 2020 with a discounted price of only $99.90 USD.

Acon Digital Mastering Suite
- Dynamics is a combined compressor, expander or gate. The lookahead can be set anywhere from 0 to 30 milliseconds and the intelligent algorithm ensures a bandlimited gain signal which reduces potential distortion to a minimum even with minimal attack and release times. You can use up to 4 times oversampling to further reduce distortion. The side chain signal can be either internal or external and there’s a full blown side chain equalizer integrated with low cut, low shelf, peak, high shelf and high cut filters. The complexity of algorithms is not reflected in the intuitive user interface which provides graphical visualizations of all aspects of the processing.
- Multiband Dynamics is the multiband extension of Dynamics which allows dynamic processing in up to four separate bands. You can freely set the crossover frequencies and even the filter slopes can be set freely in the range 6 and 48 dB per octave. Multiband Dynamics operates in linear phase mode to avoid phase issues between the processed bands.
- Limit is a transparent limiter with intelligent lookahead in the range 0 to 30 milliseconds that reduces distortion to a minimum. The limiting is performed in a two step process with a precompressor follower by the actual peak limiting algorithm. You can use up to 4 times oversampling for true peak limiting and to further reduce distortion.
- Equalize is a parametric equalizer. Unlike other equalizers, you can freely adjust not only center frequency, gain and bandwidths, but also the filter slope for each band. The filter slope can be set anywhere from 3 dB to ultrasharp 120 dB per octave. You can operate Equalize as a zero latency plugin when using the minimum phase mode, choose to preserve the phase relationships in the linear phase mode or use the unique mixed phase mode. The mixed phase mode allows you to set the latency freely in the range 5 to 120 milliseconds while preserving the phase relationships as far as possible. That gives a unique control over potential preringing artifacts which is a common problem with linear phase filtering.
- Dither is a dithering plugin with flexible perceptual noise shaping. You can adjust the maximum gain and the filter length of the frequency response of the noise shaping filter is visualized graphically.
Acon Digital Mastering Suite is available in 32 and 64 bit versions, as VST, VST3 or AAX for both Windows and OS X or as AU plug-ins for OS X.
Requirements:
- OS X 10.8 or later
- 1 GB RAM (4 GB or more recommended)
- 1 GB free HD space
- A host application that is compatible with AU, VST, VST3 or AAX (Pro Tools 11 or higher)
- CAN NOT DOWNLOAD: Some probably encounter the following error: This site can’t be reached ...sundryfiles.com’s server IP address could not be found. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. In this case, please use Google DNS and you will get rid of trouble.
- If downloaded file can not be extracted (file corrupted...), please make sure you have downloaded the file completely and don't use Winzip, it sucks! We would recommend using The Unarchiver.
- By reason, the App does not work and can not be opened. Mostly, just Disable the Gatekeeper, and you get rid of troubles.
