MagicDeathEye Stereo

Product Introduction 产品介绍​

What is it?
The second product of the ongoing and very fruitful collaboration with MagicDeathEye is a faithful emulation of their stereo master buss compressor & equalizer.
From the description of the hardware: “The stereo compressor is two mono compressor circuits with some extras designed for mastering and buss compression duties.
This new version has an added EQ section. There are two (boost only) bands with two frequency selections each.
The EQ is worked into the Variable Mu tube gain structure. This means it is not before or after the compression section, it is within it!
The EQ circuit is inductor based and has wide curves for giving program material that “little something”.
There is also a two frequency low cut for tightening up out of control bass.
The boost of the bands can be 5dB or 3dB split between 5 steps.
I spent a lot of time shaping this EQ mastering everyday and fine tuning the components on the weekends. It sounds absolutely fabulous!”​

这是什么？
与 MagicDeathEye 保持愉快合作的第二个产品是忠实地模拟了他们的立体声总线压缩器和均衡器。
来自硬件的描述：“立体声压缩器是由两个单声道压缩器电路组成，带有一些额外的设计用于母带和总线压缩任务。
这个新版本增加了 EQ 功能。有两个（仅能够提升）频段，每个频段有两个频率选择。
EQ 被用于可变 Mu 电子管增益结构。这意味着它不是在压缩进来之前或之后，而是在压缩部分之内！
EQ 电路是基于电感器的，并且具有宽频曲线，用于需要“轻微处理”的音频素材。
还有一组两个频率的低切，用于收紧失控的低音。
频段的提升可以是 5dB 或 3dB，分为 5 个步完成。
我每天花了很多时间来塑造这个母带 EQ，并在周末对组件进行微调。听起来绝对棒极了！”

​

So apart from the second channel, which, unlike in its hardware role model, has already been added in the “mono” MDE plugin,
we have an added EQ section here, and the compression curve is actually quite different from the mono version.
If one would ask about the difference in purpose of the two, the mono compressor would usually go on individual tracks,
while the stereo compressor, with its noticeably more gentle compression curve and the additional EQ options, would go on the master buss.​

Of course, while trying to stay as close to the hardware as possible sound-wise, we have again taken the liberty to implement some additional goodies in the software plugin:
the high frequency EQ can be applied to the full stereo field, the mid or the side signal only.
Conversely, for the low frequency range, an optional elliptical filter on the side signal will be very helpful when mastering for vinyl.
The amount of harmonic distortion can be varied from 0 to 100 percent, where 50 percent corresponds to the level of the hardware unit.
In- and output gain can be linked. Finally, there is an option for 2- or even 4-fold oversampling within the plugin!​

当然，在尝试在声音方面尽可能接近硬件的同时，我们再次冒昧地在插件中实现了一些额外的优势：
高频均衡器可以应用于完整的立体声场、只有中间信号或只有侧面信号时。
相反，对于低频区域，在做黑胶唱片母带时，可选的侧边信号椭圆滤波器将非常有帮助。
谐波失真量可以在 0% 到 100% 之间变化，其中 50% 对应于硬件设备水准。
输入和输出增益可以关联。最后，插件中有 2 倍甚至 4 倍的过采样选项！

Clearly, this magnificent tube compressor is not just a slight variation of the mono model:
while effortlessly demonstrating that smooth and musical MagicDeathEye signature sound, it has a different feel to it.
The few fortunate people who were already able to score their own build of both the mono and the stereo version
(they are hard to come by as Ian is building each and everyone of them by hand) will know what I’m talking about!
For the rest of you, now is your chance to compare the two masterpieces in the box!​

显然，这款华丽的电子管压缩器不仅仅是单声道版本的轻微变体：
在轻松展现出流畅而富有音乐感的 MagicDeathEye 标志性声音的同时，它还有一种非凡的感觉。
少数幸运的人已经能够为自己定制单声道和立体声的原始硬件，
他们很难买到，因为 Ian 正在手工打造每台机器，这些人知道我在说什么！
对于其他人，现在是您比较电脑中的两台神作的机会！
