Trinity | Audio Mastering

3 Band Reference Based Audio Mastering.

Trinity is an effective integrated mastering solution for digital music production enthusiasts & professionals, containing a set of precisely matched and fine-tuned creative tools for achieving the desired sound and loudness.

Focused on a reference-based mastering workflow, Trinity lets you work with an optional reference track whose sound you want to achieve, using a flexible spectrum analyzer to aid in comparing and matching.

All controls and sliders are fine-tuned for ease of use, appropriate sensitivity and defaults, making adjustments easy and efficient. Everything is available on a single screen without any distracting menu-diving.

44.1, 48 and 96 kHz sample rates are supported, as well as the following audio file types for import: WAV, MP3, AIFF, MP4, AAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless). Note that very long audio files (> 20 minutes) are not supported.

Reference-based Mastering

In addition to the raw input audio file, another (professionally produced) track can be loaded as a reference
Easy and immediate switching between both tracks for comparison and adjusting the app's controls to attain the desired sound
Seek bars with waveform previews and one-click seeking
One-click section looping for focusing on a certain part of the track

Spectrum Analysis

High-resolution and responsive FFT averaging frequency analyzer
Differential Spectrum feature can show the spectral differences between input and reference track for visual matching
Adjustable response time (averaging)
Precise Full-resolution or Smooth Half Octave Averaged display

Equalization

Transparent Low-Cut Filter with adjustable cutoff frequency and 12 or 24 dB/octave slope
High-Shelving EQ with either a gentle characteristic or a steeper 12 dB/octave slope and variable gain and frequency for fine-tuning brilliance
Up to three freely adjustable general-purpose peaking EQs
Visualization of overall response curve

Multiband Dynamics

Three frequency bands with adjustable crossover frequencies
Two selectable crossover types (custom-designed, smooth Trinity crossover or more surgical phase-corrected 24 dB/oct Linkwitz-Riley (LR4) crossover)
Ratio, Attack, Knee, Release and Gain controls per band
Global "Compress" control and per-band Density control with intelligent make-up gain replace the traditional "Threshold" controls for easier operation
Precise gain reduction meters
The compressor section's response can optionally be included in the spectrum response curve display
Solo toggles to isolate bands for precise tuning

Normalization

Automatic base normalization of input file
Two realtime normalizers (pre- and post multiband section) with optional analog saturation for transient cleanup, additional loudness maximization or sound shaping

Multiband Stereo Processing

Simple but effective Three-Band Stereo Width (M/S) controls from Mono to Extra-Wide
Fine-tuned with love, individually per band, for keeping perceived loudness and giving useful results
Basic Goniometer (Phase Scope)

Waveshaper

Optional Wave Shaping with five selectable algorithms
HQ toggle for High-Quality Oversampling

Limiter / Clipper

Either a look-ahead brickwall limiter or a hard clipper can be used in the final stage depending on taste
Adjustable Attack and Release
Adjustable output ceiling from -2 to 0 dBFS

Metering

Responsive and accurate stereo output meters
RMS or LUFS (Momentary, Short Term, Integrated) metering
PEAK metering always shown simultaneously
Normalizers with accurate saturation / clip indication

Export

Export as either standard 16/24-bit, or 32-bit float WAV files
Optional rectangular dithering
