Finalize your tracks with the INITIAL AUDIO Master Suite, a powerful yet easy to use algorithmic dynamics plug-in for your DAW that you can use to create a final master for release and distribution. The plug-in utilizes an intelligent algorithm to apply the right amount of compression and limiting.

The LUFS display indicates industry-standard loudness by turning green and warns you when your master is becoming over compressed. The plug-in also includes a 3-band EQ and stereo imaging controls as well as THD for adding harmonic saturation for a massive perceived loudness. Master Suite is Mac and Windows compatible and works with most DAWs utilizing AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3 plug-in formats.

Intelligent Algorithm    Advanced Compression and Limiting    3-Band EQ and Stereo Image Controls    LUFS Meter for Perceived Loudness    THD Controls    Dry/Wet Control for Parallel Processing    Mac/Windows AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3

• THD: Total Harmonic Distortion, this can fatten up the master and help increase the perceived loudness.
• Loudness: Increase or decrease the loudness of your master in decibels. Uses an intelligent compression and limiting algorithm to ensure maximum loudness with minimal distortion.
• LUFS Meter: The LUFS meter ( Loudness Units relative to Full Scale) is an industry standard representation of perceived loudness. The meter goes green when in the sweet zone of a loud master without over compressing the dynamics of your mix.
• Soften: This softens the compression curve, also known as a soft knee.
• Mix: Mix the compressed audio with the original. If you are pushing the loudness hard and the master is sounding over compressed with a loss of dynamics, this control can help restore some dynamics while still keeping the master loud.
• Analog: Changes the frequency response of master suite to sound more Analog.
• 3-Band Equalizer: Cut or boost the low, mid, and high frequencies by up to 6 dB.
• Stereo Image: The Mono control works by making the audio completely mono below the set frequency. This can help to tighten up the low end and ensure it is coming only from the center of the stereo field. The Stereo control enhances the stereo field for the frequencies only above the midrange, leaving the lower frequencies untouched. This can be used to add extra space in the master by pushing instruments even wider in the stereo field.
• Ceiling: Sets the maximum loudness for peaks. Your master will not go louder than this.

• Windows: AAX, VST3, VST2
• Mac: AAX, Audio Unit, VST3, VST2 (Apple Silicon / macOS Monterey compatible)
• Digital download
• Size: 80MB
• Seamless resizing ensures the plug-in looks great at any resolution

Q: 1. Can the Tascam Model 12 output midi timecode?

A: Yes, the Tascam Model 12 Mixer/Recorder can output MIDI timecode while recording and during playback through the MIDI out DIN connector and through the USB connection simultaneously.

Q: 2. How do you make this compatible with the Ronin-S exactly? Other than "it's compatible" there are no instructions.

A: You would use the provided wireless receiver in the box to connect to the Ronin-S through the can bus port.

Q: 3. Does the Model 12 have USB delay for syncing to video like the Mixcast does?

A: Yes, firmware version 1.20 adds dual Audio Delay for both the USB and Main outputs of the Tascam Model 12 Integrated Production Suite Mixer/Recorder/USB Interface.

Q: 4. Do the master wheels come with a travel case?

A: We are afraid not. A travel case is not included.

Q: 5. Would I need mic activator for Shure am 58 or Shure sm7b?

A: You will need a cloud lifter for the SM7B

Q: 6. Does this (and the other Models) record post fader for individual tracks to the SD card? The manual mentions a "post record switch" and "When this switch is on, signals from after the MAIN fader are recorded to the SD card." That's all the info in the manual about this feature. I need to know if this switch allows recording of each channel post fader to the SD card.

A: The Tascam Model 12 Integrated Production Suite Mixer/Recorder/USB Interface appears to standardly record "pre-fader" signals to the SD card. This indicates that the signal at the input source is being recorded before it is affected further down the signal chain by EQ and individual fader level settings. There are ways to change this, such as the "POST REC Switch" you mention, which would indicate a post-fader recording of each channels "mix" level signal. The manual also mentions the ability to select the positions that recording signals are sent from each channel, including the ability to send Pre or Post Compression and Post EQ.

Q: 7. What is the A/D & D/A on this Unit? Also, what is the max Mic Pre Gain? Specs look confusing...seems to be +50db which is not enough for a SM7b (needs 60db) without a Cloudlifter

A: Tascam does not disclose which converters they are using. And yes, you will need to use a cloudlifter when using an SM7B.

Q: 8. Is the Slypod Pro compatible with the DJI RS3 gimbal?

A: The Moza Slypod Pro Master Kit (B&H# MOSLYPODPRMK) may be used with many gimbals including the DJI RS 3 Gimbal Stabilizer (B&H# DJRS3) provided that the weight limits of each product (the Slypod and the gimbal) are taken into consideration appropriately.

Q: 9. In the video shown, it is black and red, but in the pictures, only black. Actually, what color is it?

A: The Moza Slypod Pro Master Kit is black.

Q: 10. What is the max gain on the mice preamp?

A: 50dB
