Default RTAS 5.1 surround compressor

I need to process (mostly compress and limit) several 5.1 audio tracks that I was just given. I don't really want to bounce these files out through any of my surround compressor tools as it will take too long. A need a decent 5.1 surround compressor that I can use a RTAS and process each file off line. Any suggesations?

Thank you

Yes, I need Audio Suite (RTAS takes too long for these new files I was given as i would have to bounce or re-record hours of work). I have: Surround Bundle Waves, and most all other compressors that work on RTAS on multi-channel format or stereo (Equality, Massey, EQ 3, Focusrite, etc but these are all RTAS).

I am not sure Massey can do this (I can check) but I am looking for a plugin that will also show me the 5.1 response graphic all at the same time (as opposed to having to switch to see the graphic for each channel). I have the Waves surround but it is only RTAS, but this is sort of the interface that I am looking for.

does it really mater?
once you hit process it's off to the races faster than real time so the meters aren't going to do anything.

if you want the meters all the way down you'll need to do it in real time so use your Waves then

According to their website, the Surround 360 Compressor and Limiter have Audiosuite capability.

In the time it took to post, read and respond, wouldn't you be done with a real time pass?

Interesting! I have the latest version, they work perfectly as RTAS but they do not show up on my Audio Suite. I had a feeling that I had used these as RTAS several years ago? I will contact Waves and see. Thank you.

I was going by the product description page. I couldn't find anything in the manual about it.

But hopefully Waves support will know for sure. Let us know what you find out.
