MAAT LINsurround

Your Sound, Your Rules! MAAT's LIN family, including two - channel and multichannel options with a shared user interface, is the crucial link between production and delivery. LIN offers adjustable word length reduction and seven noise - shaping spectra for both analog and digital asset delivery, enabling you to create your unique sound signature. LINpro and LINSurround have four newly developed psychoacoustic noise - shaping choices, on top of TPD and weighted TPD. They incorporate the latest auditory and psychoacoustic research, far superior to old - fashioned dithering engines. MAAT improved their LINearise engine for better accuracy and user experience. Whether you're working on 16 - bit Red Book masters, 24 - bit high - res files, or multichannel 48k stems, the LIN family ensures top - notch sound quality. LINpro and LINSurround also provide visual clarity to dithering with real - world noise shape plots. LIN can preserve up to the 19th bit of the input signal in a 16 - bit word. Dither is essential in DAWs, and re - dithering is important DSP. According to information theory, adding dither keeps your digital audio distortion - free and makes it less 'digital'.

How to use: First, make sure LIN is the last plug - in before converting to the final fixed - point format. You can adjust the word length and choose from the seven noise - shaping spectra according to your needs. When working on different types of audio projects like Red Book masters or high - res files, simply select the appropriate settings. Attention: Since LIN must be the last step, be careful not to add other plug - ins after it. Also, when reducing the word length, note how LIN preserves the signal.
