Module Chain

The module chain contains the mastering modules. You can add up to 8 modules.



The following settings are available for each module:

Bypass

Bypasses the module. This allows you to compare the sound of the unprocessed signal to that of the processed signal.

Solo

Solos the module. Only one module can be soloed at a time.

Remove

Removes the module from the module chain.

Scenes

You can save up to 4 MasterRig configurations as scenes. This allows you to compare different parameter settings and module combinations.



  • To copy the settings of a scene to another scene, click Copy Scene, and then click the scene button of the scene where you want to paste the settings.

    A copy of a scene is indicated by a (c) behind the scene name.

  • To reset the settings of the selected scene, click Reset Scene.

  • To rename a scene, double-click the scene name and type in another name.

Spectrum Display

The spectrum display in the upper half of the panel is where you set the width of the frequency bands. The vertical value scale to the left shows the gain level of each frequency band. The horizontal scale shows the frequency range.

  • To define the frequency range of the different frequency bands, use the handles at the sides of each frequency band.

  • To attenuate or boost the output level of each frequency band by ±15 dB, use the handles on top of each frequency band.

Settings

Parameter Linking

Links the parameters of the same type in all bands in a module. This allows you to edit parameter values of all bands in a module simultaneously. Two link modes are available: Absolute and Relative.

  • If Absolute Mode is activated and you edit a parameter value in one band, the corresponding parameter values in the other bands are set to the same value.

  • If Relative Mode is activated and you edit a parameter value in one band, the corresponding parameter values in the other bands keep their relation.

Auto Listen for Filters

If this option is activated and you edit a parameter of a module, the corresponding filter or band is soloed. This allows you to locate unwanted frequencies in your audio and helps you to focus on a particular band or filter. Once you stop editing the parameter, Solo is deactivated.

Global Settings

Allows you to make global settings for MasterRig.

Undo/Redo

Undoes/Redoes the last operation. The undo/redo history is deleted when you select another scene.

Input/Output Meter



The input/output meter provides a combined peak level, with peak-hold functionality and RMS meter. Between the meters for input and output is the gain reduction meter for the Limiter.

The maximum values for input/output peak level, RMS, and gain reduction are displayed above the meter display. To reset all maximum values, click any of the values.

Side-Chain Settings

The Compressor module and the Dynamic EQ module support side-chain. You can set up the side-chain routing for each band separately.

  • To open the side-chain panel, click the SC button at the bottom left of each band section.



Active

Activates the internal side-chain filter. The input signal can then be shaped according to the filter parameters.

SC FREQ

Sets the frequency of the side-chain filter.

Auto (Dynamic EQ only)

Deactivates the SC Frequency knob of the side-chain panel. Instead, the settings of the Frequency knob are used.

Listen

Allows you to solo the side-chain filter.

SC Q

Sets the resonance or width of the filter.
