Lurssen Mastering Console

A sound philosophy

Lurssen Mastering Console is a totally new approach to digital audio mastering.

It provides a complete emulation of the entire mastering processing chain used by world-renowned mastering engineers Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen and their team.

This chain includes tube equalizers, solid state equalizers, limiters, de-essers and solid state compressors.

The simulation of this chain reflects their “whole chain philosophy” — a belief that outstanding audio mastering comes from the careful selection and routing of gear, and the subsequent interactions created by those choices.

Lurssen Mastering Console models and recreates the interactions between the individual processors in its chain down to the actual gear hookup schematics themselves.

This approach effectively gives you access to over 25 years worth of knowledge in the form of workflow secrets, special techniques, signal chains and technical know-how.

 

Lurssen Mastering Console

Master your audio everywhere

iPad. Mac. PC. No matter what you use, there’s a Lurssen Mastering Console for you.

For musicians on the go, the iPad version is just what you need to get great sounding masters everywhere you go.

Put that Lurssen magic on your Mac/PC as a standalone application or as an Audio Units, VST 2, VST 3 or AAX plug-in for amazing audio mastering in the studio or on your laptop.

 

Lurssen Mastering Console

A lifetime’s worth of mastering experience at your fingertips

It’s easy to get great results with Lurssen Mastering Console. It comes with 20 unique mastering templates, called “Styles,” that custom tailor its mastering processing chain for hip-hop, country, rock, Americana and more. These templates eliminate all the hard work of the mastering process; Gavin and his team have set everything up for you from the signal flow to the individual settings of each processor. All you have to do is load a track, choose a template and you’ll be ready to start mastering. Or, in other words, Lurssen Mastering Console can help you achieve amazingly professional results even when a trip to Lurssen Mastering in Los Angeles just isn’t in the budget.

 

Lurssen Mastering Console

Streamlined control

Once you’ve selected a template, Lurssen Mastering Console presents you with three easy to use controls that let you adjust the master to your taste. Just like in Gavin’s studio, you can adjust a linked Input Drive, adjust a five band EQ and also use a special “PUSH” knob. The PUSH knob is particularly important because it lets you subtly and uniformly nudge the EQs so you can “ride” the flow of the song and highlight parts, adding that special Lurssen magic to your masters. You also get two VU meters, a master bypass switch (quite handy for hearing your work versus the original file) and a STEREO/MONO monitoring switch. You can record the real-time adjustments to the two master knobs via the automation feature so you can really dig into the nitty gritty of your master and record your work for later.

 

Visualize a waveform

Lurssen Mastering Console lets you see your audio thanks to this handy waveform display. You can loop audio here, view and edit automation data and move freely through your chosen song.

 

 

 

Styles and control

Lurssen Mastering Console has been designed to sound great without any tweaking required on your part. That being said, you can view and alter some of the settings of Gavin’s processing chain thanks to the Chain view screen. Here you can view the individual components that comprise each Style template and make adjustments to things like gain reduction on specific pieces of gear. You can save your changes to the Style templates as presets, which can also store different EQ settings.
