23 Mastering Suite
These sophisticated dynamics programs come from the “Masderring Lab” Library, created by the
inventor of the “Distressor™.” They are designed for stereo digital I/O and set for your two track mixes
as well as being very useful for individual sources. These presets will often allow complex mastering
operations to be performed on the H8000 alone, saving the expense of otherwise little-used outboard
equipment.
2310 Bigger And Brighter 96 2,2
{EY} NOTE: Cut low freq to prevent pumping. The left two faders are separate left and right input levels. First meter is
compression, the 2nd is limiting. An output level adjust is on the right. A stereo compressor is preceded by a selectable
EQ, followed by a limiter and 5 section EQ. The compressor can be frequency conscious using expert params. Stereo
in, stereo out.
2311 Class A Distortion4 96 2,2
[G]{EY} This is a 2nd harmonic generator. A Low Pass circuit must be used to limit input bandwidth to distortion cell to
prevent aliasing. The left two faders are separate left and right input levels. The fader on right is output level. Meter 1
indicates left distortion (THD) meter 2 the right Use amt fader to control 2nd harmonic distortion. Stereo in, stereo out.
2312 Compress & De-ess 96 2,2
2313 Compress Highs Only 96 2,2
2315 Fatten The Bass 96 2,2
2316 Grunge Compress 96 2,2
2320 Radio Compress 96 2,2
{DEY} A stereo compressor is followed by a compressor that limits a band or a shelving response. Use as a de-esser or
other versatile (turn knob right) frequency conscious processor. The left two faders on the Main page are separate left
& right input levels. First meter is compression, the 2nd is H.F. limiting. Output level adjust is on the right. Duplicate
controls & meters are found on different pages for convenience. They will always match. 12dB of internal headroom is
allowed for processing of full scale signals. Often you can just adjust the input levels to drive into compression. Press
Parameter key for more info -> The unit must be 100%% wet or in Studio (no mix) mode for proper, comb free
operation. Designed for use in digital domain. Analog inputs (turn knob right) will probably write to digital outputs
with emphasis on. Emphasized digital inputs will be stripped of their 'emphasis on' bits, although emphasis is rare in
professional 44.1 kHz masters. Future revisions will allow more flexibility. Select new HELP or Parameter-> This preset
is set up so the first compressor gently compresses the source while the D-S part does its job limiting the high frequency
in a band centered on 9 kHz. Push other HELP button or Param key--> For Dat to Dat mastering. Hook output of
source Dat (either AES or SP/DIF) to H8000’s Digital inputs. Hit Setup to change audio mode (turn knob right->) to
the desired AES/EBU or S/P DIF in- puts and outputs. Connect digital output of system to destination Dat with unit in
record pause. System will indicate it is receiving digital input under setup/audio page. For Hard Disks Editors After
editing, it is usually more flexible to go from HD through the system back to destination Dat. 44.1 or 48kHz. This EQ is
before compression. Fader to right of De-Essing> is high freq balance. Stereo in, stereo out.
2314 Dirty Master Box 4 96 2,2
{DEY} A stereo compressor is followed by a compressor that limits the high frequency response. Can be used as a
de-esser. The left two faders are separate left and right input levels. First meter is compression, the 2nd is H.F. limiting.
An output lvl adjust is on the right. Fader to right of De-Essing is > high freq balance. Use 'amt' fader to control 2nd
harmonic distortion. Distortion is turned off at -96. Stereo in, stereo out.
2317 Manual Tape Flange2 96 2,2
[GVDK]{D} Rock the Knob to get the flange. Old style flanger. Dual mono in, dual mono out.
2318 Masderring Lab 22 96 2,2
2319 Radio Check 96 2,2
{EY} NOTE: Cut low freq to prevent pumping. The left two faders are separate left and right input levels. First meter is
compression, the 2nd is limiting. An output level adjust is on the right. A stereo compressor is preceded by a selectable
EQ, followed by a limiter and 5 section EQ. The compressor can be frequency conscious using expert params. Stereo
in, stereo out.
