Analog Channel is a plug-in for Digidesign Pro Tools systems which emulates the sounds of high-end analog tape machines, analog tape, and analog channel amplifiers. With the experience of modelling analog compressors and filter circuits, both vintage and modern, McDSP has provided a solution for smoothing the digital edge that can sometimes accumulate on digital workstations as track count increases.

One section of the Analog Channel, AC1 acts as a "digital pre-amp" allowing even excessive amounts of gain without digital distortion. A drive control determines where the audio "sits" in the saturation/compression region, and even the attack and release times of the distortion character are adjustable.

AC2 provides standard tape machine parameters such as bias, playback speed, and IEC1/2 equalization. Analog Channel provides controls well beyond the limits of analog tape devices that include adjustable low frequency roll off and head bump - independent of playback speed. The user can select from several playback head types, and even control the rate at which tape saturation is dis-engaged. Modern and vintage tape formulations are available.

Four different configurations are available - Analog Channel emulation (mono and stereo,) and Analog Tape emulation (mono and stereo)
Analog Saturation Modeling
Instead of frequency sweeps and test tones, the playback head and tape saturation responses are displayed in realtime - updated with every control change
Double Precision Arithmetic keeps the noise floor at the -138 dB level that would be expected from the 24-bit TDM bus
