Octiv Inc. and Cycling ’74 on Monday jointly announced that Octirama, a 5.1 Surround Sound mastering tool for Digidesign’s Pro Tools, will ship later this quarter, with pricing to be announced then. Octirama features four- and five-band processing for each of its five channels as well as an input AGC, five in-band peak limiters, band mixing, a final peak limiter and more than 40 simultaneous meters that provide information on gain reduction, downward expansion and output levels. The software employs a proprietary processing algorithm to preserve the surround image. Neither developer had provided a product page on its Web site as MacCentral posted this article.
