Designed for use in professional and home studio mastering scenarios, it sports both classic transparent limiting and modern loudness oriented workflow for outstanding and predictable results. With its optional desktop controller, BRICKWALL HD is a pioneering fusion of premium software and next-generation hardware assisted workflow.
BRICKWALL HD and MASTER X HD combines unparalleled transparent performance with an easy-to-use interface, and together form the ultimate master processing chain. Ideal for computer-based music production, these premium mastering plugins provide you with the tools to take your sonic ambitions to the next level.
BRICKWALL HD’s unique desktop interface puts your creativity at centre stage by providing easy access to all key parameters and metering. The optional hands-on control unit allows you to explore and experiment to your heart’s content, and will expedite your mastering and mixing process.
Designed to be an ultra-transparent master limiter, BRICKWALL HD protects your audio without ever sacrificing sonic impact. With its studio-grade algorithm built on the foundation of the original Brickwall Limiter from System 6000, it lets you increase the apparent loudness of your mix without losing audio quality.
As a supplement to the classic, transparent limiter BRICKWALL HD sports a modern take on limiting. The loudness limiter safeguards your sonics for easy delivery to streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and Tidal. So, if you want your music make a lasting impression with casual listeners and audiophiles alike, this is the solution.
Unlike most limiters that stop at 0 DBFS, BRICKWALL HD identifies the ever important inter-sample peaks and eliminates the risk of down-stream audio clipping. TC Electronic's premium ISP limiting algorithm ensures clean and predictable results every time, and with the adaptive content-optimised limiter profiles you are guaranteed maximum sonic transparency.
As engineers and musicians TC Electronic always aim for flawless sound in everything they do. With BRICKWALL HD you get to pick between the best classic and modern limiting algorithms, and add spice to taste with the built-in soft clipping curves. Specialised for use in the critical mastering phase, the soft clipping in BRICKWALL HD provides you with versatile performance and analog character without off-setting the balance of your mix.
The optional hardware add-on for BRICKWALL HD gives you visual feedback for accurate signal and dynamics monitoring directly on the hardware interface. This combined with the comprehensive plug-in’s metering tools and statistics overview ensures that you will always have sufficient data to qualify your mastering decisions.
