Ready To Rock
HERMES from SPL allows users to store and apply settings

HERMES features everything mastering houses could need in a single pre-patched rack. Armed with two parallel mix stages, any of eight individual processors can be engaged, allowing ease of comparison between different mix settings or compression chains with all configurations storable in local memory. This enables extremely fast workflow and cuts out previously laborious repatching operations to find the correct dynamics for a particular track.

New Mastering Frontiers
SPL HERMES 'Parallel Mix' control

Historically mastering routers were custom built by in house engineers to wildly bespoke specifications. Keen to untangle this industry knot, SPL devised a professional mastering router which could mould to applications, optimise mixes, and ensure engineers never again became lost amongst their patch cords.
