Lenbrook Media Group has launched a new suite of studio plug-ins, giving music creators unprecedented control over critical details in their recordings. Developed by its MQA Labs unit, Inspira and Endura offer engineers and producers previously unavailable methods for managing impulse response, noise shaping and dither. The user has full control in pursuit of their desired sound.
Designed for music production, these tools address long-standing challenges in digital audio, ensuring every recording retains its depth and nuance. The first is Inspira, created for recording and mixing to mitigate unwanted time-domain distortions that often occur during analogue-to-digital conversion. It also features a versatile range of novel noise shapers and dither options, preserving resolution from the start of the production process.
The second, Endura, is for mastering, giving engineers full control over temporal smearing, while its advanced analysis capabilities generate custom noise shapers uniquely suited to each track. The plug-in exports in WAV and FLAC formats, ensuring the best-sounding masters reach any streaming service with absolute fidelity.
‘These tools offer engineers a new level of creative freedom, enabling users to dial into the detail of their sound,’ says MQA Labs Director of Content Services, Spencer Chrislu. ‘Whether they want to refine subtle nuances or make significant enhancements, creators can now deliver their music exactly as envisioned, unlocking possibilities previously out of reach.”
MQA Labs Inspira (US$249) and Endura plug-ins (US$349) are available now.
