Eventide Elevate 1.5 Mastering Plug-In Bundle (Download)

Make your music sound like a professional recording with the Elevate 1.5 Mastering Plug-In Software Bundle from Eventide. In addition to the Elevate 26-band adaptive limiter, the package also includes EQuivocate matching EQ, Saturate Spectral Clipper, and Punctuate Transient Audio Shaper to give you a complete mastering tool kit that makes it easy to precisely tweak your mixes in the critical final stages.

Elevate Adaptive Audio Limiter

Analyzes and alters the gain, speed and transients of each filter band in real time

Includes presets by APS Mastering, Matt Lange, Jeremy Lubsey, Eric Beam, ROCAsound, Chris Tabron, and John McCaig

Automatically adapts the attack, release, and lookahead parameters for each filter band to greatly reduce pumping and breathing artifacts and perceived distortion

Preserves or emphasizes fast transients to avoid squashing your mix

Manipulates transients across the critical bands to preserve the attacks from kick drums, snares, and cymbals, without affecting the entire mix

Uses linear phase auditory filters—based on the Mel Scale—to manipulate the audio in a way that is natural to your inner ear

Solo the output of one band (or a number of bands) to hone in on problem frequencies, tweak transients or alter gain

Use the Auto Output Level feature to compare the limited signal to nonlimited signals with the same amount of gain, allowing you to easily hear what impact the processing is having on your sound

Use the Spectral Clipper to overdrive the final output without affecting the tonal balance or allowing the signal to get tubby. Perfect for a more aggressive sound

Six different types of metering allow you to keep an eye on every aspect of your output audio

Mastering with a Brain

Saturate-Spectral Clipper

Saturate is the Spectral Clipper algorithm made popular in the Elevate Mastering Limiter. Saturate's two controls belie a sophisticated signal-processing engine that allows it to overdrive a signal without affecting the tonal balance no matter how hard you push it. Add up to 12 dB of clipping with a variable shape parameter that moves from a pleasant soft curve to full hard clipping. Additionally, the SHAPE control allows you to smoothly morph between hard clipping and the mathematically smoothest curve possible. Use Saturate to overdrive individual tracks or your entire mix.

Punctuate-Auditory Transient Shaper

Based on the Transient Emphasis section of the award-winning Elevate Mastering Limiter, Punctuate is a multiband transient modulator based on the critical bands in the human ear. Punctuate's intelligent algorithms allow you to control the transient emphasis or suppression of all 26 critical bands with just 4 controls. This makes for an incredibly powerful but very easy-to-use transient modulator.
