The Standard for Transparent Mastering

Ivory 6 is a premium mastering suite that emulates the high-precision hardware of a world-class British manufacturer (heavily inspired by Maselec, designed by Leif Mases). It is the go-to tool for mastering engineers who require absolute transparency and surgical but musical control over a stereo mix.

Key Features

  • Precision EQ: Based on the MEA-2, this equalizer offers incredibly smooth steps and curves. It’s designed for broad tonal balancing where you want to enhance the music without changing its core identity.

  • Invisible Dynamics: The compressor (modeled after the MLA-2) provides legendary "glue" and density while remaining virtually inaudible in its operation.

  • Mastering Limiter: Features a peak limiter (based on the MPL-2) that tames transients with audiophile quality, ensuring your master stays loud and clean.

  • Hyper & Aria Powered: The V6 update integrates Acustica’s latest tech for low CPU usage and ultra-high-resolution modeling of the analog signal path.

  • Dynamic Control: Includes specialized de-esser and dynamic frequency control modules, essential for modern high-definition mastering.

Best Used For

  • Final Mastering: To add the final "shimmer" and "solidarity" to a professional production.

  • Critical Mix Bus: Ideal for Jazz, Classical, or high-end Pop where the natural transients must be preserved at all costs.

  • Subtle Tone Shaping: When you need to adjust the frequency balance of a mix without introducing phase smear or unwanted harmonic grit.

Pro Tip: Ivory is perfect for a "Tilt" effect. Use very subtle boosts in the highs combined with a slight cut in the lows (or vice versa). Because of Ivory’s transparency, the result never sounds "processed"—it simply sounds like a better, more balanced version of the original.
