DENOISE

DeNoise comes from TC's acclaimed Restoration Suite bundle.

DeNoise is optimized for broadband noise removal, from tape hiss to static environmental noise.

DeNoise is fingerprint-based and its edit tools allow manual adjustment of the analyzed fingerprints for even more precise processing results.

In version 1.5 the DeNoise plug-in has been updated with an 'auto' mode that makes it possible to remove noise from material where it is not possible to take a fingerprint

–for instance if there are no parts with noise only. Fingerprints can now be adjusted independently for left and right channels.

DYNAMIC EQ

Dynamic EQ is a new tool for any mixing or mastering situation. This virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by providing a dynamically applied equalization.

The Dynamic EQ plug-in offers up to four definable bands working either in static or dynamic mode, or in

a mixture of both. Each of the bands can be configured as a parametric EQ or as a high or low shelving filter. The side-chain bands can be unlinked from the processing bands, so the high frequency content of a mix can control the low-end and vice versa. The pristine processing of this plug-in is all in 48-bit double precision, and may even be used in a phase linear mode, that is generous with transparent results.

Dynamic EQ represents a new generation of mastering tools for the POWERCORE platform and this virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by providing a marriage between dynamics processing and EQ.

On top of the plug-ins that are included with PowerCore, there is a broad selection of optional plug-ins available. These plug-ins are developed by TC Electronic as well as a number of 3rd party developers like Sonnox, Access, Novation, TC Helicon and Dsound. The optional plug-ins are available from store around the world and from TC's web shop.

When you buy an optional plug-in, it will be licensed to your PowerCore hardware and sent to you by email. Therefore, this procedure requires you to register your PowerCore and your email address.

ADDITIONAL PLUG-INS WITH POWERCORE 6000

In addition to the Base Plug-ins described in the previous manual section, PowerCore 6000 also includes the following plug-ins from System 6000

VSS3

The VSS3 Stereo Source Reverb for ProTools and PowerCore is a genuine and original reverb directly ported from the System 6000. The VSS3 algorithm was researched and fine- tuned by TC engineers for over a year, resulting in an exceptionally precise tool. Similar to the chaotic response of a natural room, the VSS3 reacts differently to identical signals.

Used for effects purposes, extensive modulation possibilities are offered for the creation of detuned or chorused sustain effects for e.g. vocal, guitar, piano or horns. Inherent in the VSS3 algorithm there are almost 800 parameters, equaling an astronomical amount of combinations, and this impressive set of parameters has been condensed to a very substantial and pertinent user interface.

With the VSS3 you get a package of presets that have become industry standards. The sound of VSS3 can be heard on thousands of albums and films.

MD3

The MD3 Stereo Mastering package brings processing only known from the System 6000 to ProTools and PowerCore. This package presents professional production and mastering possibilities to the realm of DAWs, and integrates smoothly with serious music and film editing applications.

Dual Mono and Stereo dynamics processing in three frequency bands. By offering a true side-chain split structure, MD3 is also capable of demanding mono material compression/limiting on two separate channels, not found in other multi-band dynamics processors. MD3 can be regarded as a high-end mastering tool. M and S components of a stereo signal can be processed separately and provide even more control making full use of the Spectral Stereo Enhancer.

BRICKWALL LIMITER

If you are concerned about audio quality at the end listener, or have a desire to conserve talent, the BrickWall Limiter is the solution. While it cannot prevent destruction of dynamic range from happening at earlier stages in the production process, it does get rid of the signals known to generate distortion in consumer CD players, radio processors and data reduction codecs.
