Kazrog LLC was founded by Shane McFee in 2008 with the goal of allowing the home studio producer to achieve sonic results equal to or beyond those possible in a professional, large scale recording studio. At the time I am writing this blog, Kazrog is offering masterDither for $1.00.
Kazrog masterDither is a professional mastering grade final dither for the modern master. The Kazrog Twitter account has a retweet that says masterDither will be $1 until June 1, 2018.
So why did we make masterDither? While most recording software includes some sort of dither plugin, many of the bundled solutions are quite dated, and don’t take advantage of some of the latest techniques for dither noise shaping. Many of our users have requested that we make a dither, so masterDither is the result of talking to our users about what they look for in a good dither, and engineering something that can be an ideal final dithering stage for any professional audio mastering application.
masterDither features include:
- 5 target bit depths (8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 bits)
- 3 dither noise types (TPDR, RPDF and GPDF Gaussian)
- 5 noise shaping algorithms (K1 and K2 for modern aggressive shaping, and P1-3 for psychoacoustic shaping.) Noise shaping can, of course, be disabled.
- Auto blanking to mute dither noise when program material is silent (digital black.)
- Preset functionality for easy recall of favorite settings.
