RTW Upgrades Masterclass Plugins

RTW has upgraded its Loudness Tools and Mastering Tools plug-ins.

Version 4.0 adds support for Mac OS X 10.11 'El Capitan', and provides new functionality. The updates include a selectable 12th octave RTA, the implementation of cinema loudness standards (TASA and SAWA), and a freely scalable display. Both plug-ins can also be operated as stand-alone versions on both Mac and PC.

Loudness Tools and Mastering Tools are part of RTW's Masterclass PlugIns range that provides RTW hardware meters as software. Loudness Tools features metering and loudness displays for mono, stereo, multichannel and surround applications (eight channels max). All standard sampling rates up to 96 kHz, including all widely used PPM and TruePeak measurements and scales, are also incorporated into the software.

Mastering Tools consists of analysis and display functions for mastering, metering and loudness measurements from single-channel up to multichannel applications. These include a range of PPM scales and displays, VU appearance, TruePPM measurements, vectorscope, Surround Sound Analyzer and RTA.

Andreas Tweitmann, CEO, RTW, said: "The new software updates for our Masterclass PlugIns range were designed to provide our users more options to adapt our comprehensive and easy-to-use audio monitoring solutions to the way they like to work. The upgrade to version 4.0 makes our Masterclass PlugIns compatible with more operating systems and increases the functionality for all audio professionals that need to meet certain loudness standards and are concerned about noise control."
