Classic Trance mastering chain torture test
Eternal Happiness
This 100% produced Woovebox track demonstrates;
- Powerful real-time synthesis of complex timbres using only noise and single-cycle waveforms; with the exception of the built-in piano hammer sample and vocal samples, no samples were used for this track
- Professional mastering chain keeping competing elements, frequencies clear and punchy throughout the song, despite an over-dense mix with extreme reverb tails and extreme harmonic saturation (super saw, noise bursts)
- Real-time processing of vocal samples from raw material
- High-pass filter pre-send FX (for example vocal samples) to avoid mud build-up
- 3-band parametric (e.g. not just one macro parameter) Xfer-style OTT master compression
- Mid/side master processing (stereo widening, bass monofying)
- Emphasis on temporal mastering (rather than simple EQ-ing), pushing elements to the background as needed, rather than permanently destroying an element's frequency response permanently
- ...but also (new) static per-track tone shaping/EQ-ing for rare cases
- Per-track transient shaping/compression (for example, the initial "snap"/punch on the super saw stabs)
- Wavetable synthesis of quintessential Trance choir
- Per-track octave-configurable shimmer applied to the piano
