The Alesis Masterlink is the standard for doing mix-downs, archiving your mixes, mastering them, and burning them to CD. The Masterlink will even burn 24k bit/96k mixes to a standard CDR. The ML-9600 2.0 combines hard disk recording, editing, digital signal processing, and the world's most advanced high-resolution CD-R format for creating professional, fully finished two-track masters.
  • Easily assemble and burn custom-mix CDs
  • Apply EQ, compression, and limiting to your mixes
  • Burn standard Red Book or high-res CDs on inexpensive CDRs
  • Adjust individual song levels and control fade-ins and fade-outs
  • Drag-and-drop high-res (24/96) files from CD24 discs into computer-based systems
  • NEW TO VERSION 2.0:
  • Split and join track segments to create new tracks or alternate mixes
  • Instantly copy EQ/Compressor/Limiter settings from one track to another
  • Back up and store tracks along with their associated MasterLink processing settings
  • Load whole CDs complete with track IDs into a playlist in one simple step

Alesis MasterLink ML-9600 Master Disk Recorder
Think of it as a Complete Mastering House in a Box.


Only MasterLink lets you capture your mixes in stunning 24-bit, 96kHZ; edit your recording; and apply finishing tools-such as high-resolution parametric EQ, compression, limiting, and normalizing-all in the same system; and then burn the finished recording in either industry-standard Redbook or high-resolution CD24 (fast becoming the new standard for archiving and transferring high-resolution audio files to the mastering room).


Even if you are using a computer to record with, the Masterlink still makes sense, as you can mix, master, and burn your CD's while you are using your computer for other things (like tracking your next project). The Masterlink is so easy to use, that you can have your clients (or band members) make copies of your latest song, while you start another one on your computer.


The Masterlink is also great if you like to track in the digital domain, but like to mix in the analog domain (or use outboard analog devices such as tube compressors, tube/classic compressors, EQ's, etc...). The Masterlink makes this a breeze. Just patch the Masterlink into your system and you never have to worry about taxing your CPU; plus you can mix and burn 24-bit/96k masters to a STANDARD CDR (right now these can only be played back in Masterlink-compatible systems, but in the next few years there will be many 24-bit/96k-compatible systems available, so be prepared).


It's clear why top pros like George Massenburg, Roger Nichols, Elliot Scheiner, Al Schmitt, and Greg Ladanyi have traded in their DAT's for Masterlinks.

Any recording can be improved using this unit. I highly recomend it!
