Versatile Audio Mixing Tools

Rob Papen's MasterMagic is a Compact and Effective Audio Mixing Tool

— February 11, 2021 — Tech
The MasterMagic plug-in developed by Rob Papen is a handy tool that provides the finishing touch to improve any audio production mix. MasterMagic offers two desirable functions that work to clean up audio, and each function can be enabled or disabled, depending on the user's intentions.

The tool is a unique way to manipulate sound, providing two main functions that offer the ability to tighten up the low end and add clarity to the overall mix. Conveniently condensed into a square-shaped user interface, MasterMagic's layout is intuitive and modestly designed for every type of user working with audio.

MasterMagic's main feature is the 'Air' section, which uses a precise algorithm to boost the very high frequencies of the signal to provide a greater sense of space to the mix, where the gain and frequency parameters help to dial-in the desired amount of the effect. The 'Mono/Stereo' Split Filter section on the other hand divides the incoming signal based on a selected frequency and chosen mono mode. Controlling the frequency parameter determines the threshold that the stereo audio will be converted into mono, and changing between one of the four modes alters how the stereo signal will be converted into the final mono source.
