IK Multimedia Lurssen Mastering Console v1.1.1 WiN MacOSX

Lurssen Mastering Console is a mastering tool for either iPad/iPhone (universal app) or Mac/PC that puts a lifetime's worth of professional mastering experience at your fingertips. Created in collaboration with Mastering Engineers Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen of Multi Grammy Award winning facility Lurssen Mastering in Los Angeles, it puts you at the controls in the studio with all of the secret tools, settings and techniques that have made the Lurssen sound so sought after by the world's top-tier recording artists and producers.

It faithfully recreates Lurssen's "whole is greater than the sum of its parts" philosophy of mastering. With it, you get a top of the line mastering processor chain that has been created and tweaked by Gavin and his team to reflect the settings they use in the studio while mastering hip-hop, rock, pop and more. With Lurssen Mastering Console, you finally have a way to make professional sounding masters no matter whether you're in the studio or on the go

IK Multimedia has announced that Lurssen Mastering Console has been updated, adding a Digital Delivery Mastering option - Lurssen Mastering Console now enables you to create audio masters that conform to "Mastered for iTunes" specifications.

A sound philosophy

Lurssen Mastering Console is a totally new approach to digital audio mastering. It provides a complete emulation of the entire mastering processing chain used by world-renowned mastering engineers Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen and their team. This chain includes tube equalizers, solid state equalizers, limiters, de-essers and solid state compressors. The simulation of this chain reflects their “whole chain philosophy”.

Lurssen Mastering Console, which you can download free on audiolove.me, models and recreates the interactions between the individual processors in its chain down to the actual gear hookup schematics themselves. This approach effectively gives you access to decades worth of knowledge in the form of workflow secrets, special techniques, signal chains and technical know-how.

Hear the Lurssen Mastering Console difference

Here are just a few examples of mixes before and after being mastered with Lurssen Mastering Console. Using the "styles" presets as a starting point, the mixes were tweaked in real time using push, automation, and eq controls to capture the magic in the music. (Settings for each mastered file can be found in the audio file descriptions.)
