Two small arrow buttons hide another of Master Q 's strongest features: Lim-Sat. Master Q already consumes more power than many EQ plug-ins, taking about 3 percent of my Pentium 4 2.8GHz processor with all seven bands active without FAT, and about 8 percent with it on. FAT's only down side is an extra 64-sample latency and an increase in CPU overhead.

This activates a double-sampling option to move any non-linearities and phase errors beyond the normal audio band to ensure sweeter and more 'analogue' results at high frequencies - a similar technique is offered by Spectral Design's QMetric. Next to the Proc (bypass) button is one labeled FAT, which stands for Frequency Authentication Technique.

This is already an extremely versatile EQ, but like most PSP products, it doesn't stop there. You can switch the resolution of the graph, while a Range knob provides an overall boost or cut for all seven gain controls - negative values invert the entire response.

All seven are fully parametric, with frequency adjustable over a wide range, plus variable Q, again over a range that's significantly wider than most competing products in my collection - this doesn't necessarily make Master Q better, but it certainly makes it versatile! High Q values create a characteristic hump at the corner frequency and a double resonant peak at shelf transitions, just like those of Waves' Renaissance and Linear Phase EQ designs.Īll seven filters offer up to 24dB boost or cut, and Master Q 's combined frequency response is displayed graphically, with a black line for the overall response, and different coloured lines showing the contribution of each interacting band. At its heart are seven filters, comprising low cut and high cut at 12 or 24 dB/octave for trimming unwanted frequencies at the extremes of the audio spectrum, low-shelf and high-shelf filters for general-purpose warming and cooling over a wide band, and three overlapping peaking filters. Master Q is PSP's first release in the EQ arena.
