What Drawmer S73 Intelligent Master Processor does
The plugin is built around multiband compression that is set up to make the choices a mastering engineer would normally make, so the user does not need to tune every band by hand. The developer describes the processing as based on technology from the 1973 Drawmer unit, with the analog character of the original hardware carried over into the software.
The Windows build appears as x64 crack and x86 crack, the macOS build as a .dmg crack, and the format name is attached to the search as VST3 crack, AU crack or AAX crack.
Key features
- Multiband compression. The processor splits the signal into bands and compresses each one, with the mix of processing set in a fine-tuned sound design.
- Analog compressor character. The developer says the Drawmer compressor sound has been modeled from the characteristics of the original analog hardware.
- Automatic mastering decisions. Settings are chosen by the processor itself so the mastering choices are made without manual band-by-band tuning.
- Clarity and definition. The processing is intended to add clarity and definition to a mix, which the developer states as the purpose of the design.
Compatibility
Available as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and RTAS for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support listed. Windows 10 is the minimum system and activation uses iLok.
