Suffice to say, I left that night feeling very excited with a huge grin on my face. It’s been quite a while since outboard gear has done that to me.

Al Schmitt’s Number One Mixing Tool
Al Schmitt is a renowned recording engineer who has worked with such artists as Paul McCartney, Gloria Estefan, George Benson, Toto, Steely Dan, Ray Charles, Norah Jones and many more. Oh, and winning 18 Grammy Awards for engineering kind of speaks for itself! The System 6000 is always part of Al’s productions, and if he is working in other studios he always makes sure they have a System 6000. If they don’t, he will simply bring his own.
“It’s such a natural sounding unit, and the control you have over everything is great. It’s the number one tool in my arsenal – I don’t do anything without it.”
Music 6000 Tools
Music 6000 comes with all of the algorithms that were included with the legendary Reverb 6000 – Multichannel as well as Stereo Reverbs. On top of that, you get a lot of additional algorithms that are invaluable in music production, including pristine Stereo Mastering tools, our LM Loudness Radar Meter and the state-of-the-art MDW EQ by George Massenburg Labs. Below, you will find a complete list of the tools included with Music 6000.
Multichannel Reverbs
With this license you can access SpacePan and every reverb and delay preset, including the complete Halls of Fame bank and the Skywalker Sound Collection.
VSS™ Surround
Unique room simulator for matrixed sound production. This algorithm turns the diffused field of the simulation into an Lt/Rt signal.
VSS™ 6.1
If you need to add reverb to an existing 5.1 or 6.1 signal or move sources around with a joystick, VSS™ 6.1 Reverb is your algorithm.
VSS™ 5.1 Source
A true 5.1 simulator algorithm with multi-directional, early-reflection patterns, a wide sweet spot and fully uncorrelated rendering.
VSS™ M4
4 discrete mono reverbs. Engineers often find such a setup more useful than using pre-configured structures for stereo, 5.1, 6.1 and other formats.
Reflector6
An extremely versatile delay and boundary effect that can reflect any environment. Easy to edit, so you can remain intuitive while mixing.
SpacePan
Our 8 input panning algorithm allows you to position any audio source precisely in a real-time or surround environment.
Stereo Reverbs
This license includes our very best stereo and dual source reverbs and delays – for example VSS3, VSS4, Nonlin2 and Reflector – plus access to hundreds of film and music presets as well as the stereo section of Halls of Fame.
VSS™ 4HD
Highly advanced stereo reverb capable of treating source-related reflections from multiple angles with results of unrivaled precision.
VSS™ 3
What you get is simply a ‘true-to-life’ sound. We’ve designed this algorithm to painstakingly recreate room types that are incredibly convincing.
NonLin2
Envelope, Attack, Hold and Release parameters set you free to create compact vocal ambiance, dramatic eighties drum and percussion sounds, reverse reverb – or your own new sonic creations.
DVR2
Generic Reverb with a true vintage flavor and a flattering sustain effect. It complements Source Reverb very well, and both can be great for different types of reverb applications.
ReflectorLCR
An extremely versatile delay and boundary effect that can reflect any environment. Easy to edit, so you can remain intuitive while mixing.
Reverb-2
Reverb that’s great for percussive instruments. It comes with a well-defined and precise build up and the uncorrelated design ensures perfect mono compatibility.
Reverb-3
Classic and true stereo reverb. Control decay time with four individually adjustable frequency bands and create sounds with virtually no audible early reflections.
Delay 1
24 bit true stereo delay that gives you up to 2.5 seconds in each channels with basic feedback control. You can use it with sample rates up to 96kHz.
Delay 2
Delay with filtered feedback control. Now you can modulate delays with full control over the relative L/R phase to emulate chorus or tape delay perfectly.
Core-2
Great effect for small room simulations. Professionals in film and post production have found this algorithm perfect for reproducing the short ‘tails’ of small rooms.
Phaser
A Classic M5000 algorithm that gives you a digital version of the highly-acclaimed TC XII stomp box. It features several swept filter sections to control the impact of your effect.
Chorus
High-resolution stereo chorus and flanging effects as well as modulated stereo delays of up to 650 ms per channel.
Stereo Mastering Tools
Our three stereo mastering algorithms are the absolute high-end tools for Multiband Compression, EQ, Expanding, Normalizing, and Brickwall Limiting. The result: nothing less than a flawless sound for every end listener.
MD4
Advanced, high-resolution, multiband dynamics algorithm that includes the innovative DXP mode, allowing you to lift up low-level detail individually in each band.
MD3
This high-resolution, multiband dynamics processor has been the industry standard for more than a decade. It will split your audio into individual frequency bands before expanding and compressing.
Brickwall Limiter 2
The ultimate True-peak protection of your signal without sacrificing loudness. We’ve designed this processor to show if a signal is contaminated with 0dBFS+ peaks – and to remove them.
Matrix 88
Digital 8-Channel Mixer. Achieve maximum resolution with the intelligent limiter, advanced digital summing mixer, accurate delays and bit pattern transparency.
Additional Music 6000 Tools
On top of the Reverb and Mastering tools, you also get the finest loudness meter on the market – our LM6 Loudness Radar Meter – plus the pristine MDW EQ by George Massenburg Labs, VariPitch8 and the versatile Toolbox 5.1 for your surround productions.
LM6
Complete loudness overview at a glance, including Loudness History, Momentary Loudness, True Peak Level and universal descriptors that can show e.g. Program Loudness, Loudness Range.
MDW HiRes EQ
There can be absolutely no doubt that George Massenburg has a great sense of audio, and the MDW® HiRes EQ has been developed strictly to his personal specifications. As the MDW® design complements the TC Electronic EQ alternatives, you simply get the opportunity to choose between several desirable EQ flavors, each with their own specific advantages.
VariPitch8
High-quality pitch change, chorus and double tracking. Quite simply the best, most unobtrusive pitch control device you will ever find.
Toolbox 5.1
Support your surround productions with a palette of various Level, Test, Bass Management and Downmix tools.
Expand With Even More Tools
Apart from the wealth of included algorithms listed above, you can add even more worldclass audio tools. No matter what your main area of production is, you might find optional tools that will fit into your workflow.
Reviews
I could find nothing to fault with this machine. It is stunningly simple to use, incredibly versatile, and sounds absolutely superb.
The S6000 offers an unprecedented range of capability for a single device and its designers have made a determined effort toward sonic excellence throughout.
The S6000 is a pleasure to operate. During the course of this review, it was difficult to pinpoint any inadequacies within the system. Ergonomically, it is easy to navigate and sonically beyond reproach.
For serious multichannel music or postproduction work, this surely rates as a ‘must-have’.
