PSP MasterComp

What do Masters of mastering think about PSP MasterComp?

I haven't played with the PSP MasterComp long enough for more than a first impression but it really had me smiling about several very "hi-fi" sounding hip-hop tracks I was mastering today. It helped without stepping on the truly wonderful sound of my client's mixes. Thinking about it, I can't imagine a better first impression!

PSP Master Compressor will deliver sonic results that won't compromise musicality and will retain transparency during signal processing. This is a rare occasion in the digital world. I applaud the PSP team in their efforts to deliver a signal processor of this caliber.

In a trial on an energetic blues vocal and piano track, the Master Comp did as well controlling peaks as one of my better analog compressors. The sound was smooth and clear.
