Acustica Audio - Celestial Mastering Edition
Celestial is a two-plugin suite for sound manglers who want to add some creative texturizing and psychoacoustic action to their tracks.
Based on a modern hardware machine built in the UK and used by both mixing and mastering engineers, Celestial provides an additional layer of analog goodness to single tracks as well as full mixes.
Our users have been asking for a version of the Celestial mix bus processor with ruler-flat frequency response, for precision mastering duties.
So we started tweaking things, but while the response was improved, it still wasn't possible to go fully flat due to both the architecture of the plugin itself and the nature of the hardware.
So we decided to develop an extra, dedicated plug-in for the suite called Celestial Mastering Edition, which differs from the other ones in that the mid-side encoding and the related controls (Elliptic and Dimension) all happen after the signal has been summed back together.
This approach allows for a truly flat response across the frequency range, something that is not possible in the hardware.
