Master Match T-racks 6 / Compression Knob works?

Postby Dilandu » Fri Mar 14, 2025 1:59 am

Hi my friends!
First of all, I want to say that I like Master Match a lot! but I would like to understand some thing:

1.- Why the compression knob does not affect the gain reduction metering?
I get the impression that the Compression knob is like an input to the Limiter process only... not affecting the gain reduction... and not compressing the signal.

2.- The one knob Limiter, in terms of sound, is the same than Stealth Limiter from T-racks? for my perception sound different.
- What is the ceiling? 0.1?
- Has it oversampling?

Could someone from the IK Multimedia technical team, or other person, please confirm this?

Thanks!!

I agree. I think it would be handy to get a YT in depth tutorial on how MasterMatchX really works and should be used.

For more clarify my before question, here you can see the videos about MASTER MATCH X

Here is a video without audio:

1.- When move the compression knob the Gain Reduction Meter is the same... why? and of course, I can't hear the compression in the signal.
2.- The compression knob affect the volume and not compress the signal.... Of course, increase the volume and the Limiter begin to work... You can see in the indicators RMS or LUFS in the same plugin.

Here other video like a example with the plugin Channel Strip X, you can see the behavior of the compression knob, for me works OK. If you increase the level in the compression knob, increase the gain reduction because you are compress the signal: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rqowry84uj1mb4vcq0pz7/Channel-Strip-X.mov?rlkey=yqu5z4gl4hwbch4j73j8xqn7e&dl=0
