PlugIn Pulse: Mastering Assistant in Logic Pro
We're thrilled to feature an exclusive piece by Isaac Bell, a technical consultant and content writer from the metropolis of NYC. His company, Soapstone Services, is known for cutting-edge commentary on the latest tech developments. Isaac writes with a passion for emerging technologies and the vibrant minds behind them—expect to be enlightened and inspired. In this edition's PlugIn Pulse, Isaac provides an in-depth look at the "Mastering Assistant" plugin in Logic Pro, a tool that's revolutionizing the mastering process for producers at all levels. This is Isaac's second-time guest writing for the ZTalent newsletter, and we extend our heartfelt thanks for his valuable contributions.
This week, we’re shining a spotlight on a new addition to a classic production tool.
Logic Pro is Apple's flagship DAW, and it's one of the world's most popular DAWs, used by beginners and professional artists alike. Last month’s release of v10.8 came with several killer features, and a standout among them is the new “Mastering Assistant” plugin. This built-in tool lets you generate a mastering chain on the fly, test it and revise it until you’re satisfied. It works out of the box with no bells and whistles needed.
This is a huge time saver for producers in need of quick masters for their demos, session recordings, and roughs. This may also help beginners gain better understanding of what the mastering process is and why it's so important to the production process. Either way, you get the flexibility of an AI-based tool while keeping full creative control over your results.
The best part is, this plugin is absolutely free. If you produce songs using Logic Pro X, it comes free with an update to v10.8.
