The audio specialists at TC Works GmbH have announced new versions of their TDM Plug-ins Master X3 and TC Tools, now supporting Pro Tools HD.
TDM Plug-Ins are mastering plug-ins for Pro Tools TDM systems. Master X features integrated multiband expansion, compression and limiting, all optimized for mastering applications.
