MD3 description:

With the introduction of the MD3 Stereo Mastering package for PowerCore, processing only known from the System 6000 is now available for your PC or MAC. This package brings professional production and mastering possibilities to the realm of DAWs, and integrates smoothly with serious music and film editing applications. Includes two pristine algorithms, MD3 Multiband Dynamics and BrickWall Limiter.

Dual Mono and Stereo dynamics processing in three frequency bands. By offering a true side-chain split structure, MD3 is also capable of demanding mono material compression/limiting on two separate channels, not found in other multi-band dynamics processors. MD3 can be regarded as a high-end mastering tool. M and S components of a stereo signal can be processed separately and provide even more control making full use of the Spectral Stereo Enhancer.
