McDSP Live Pack II Native v7 Music Production Plug-Ins

The electronic download of 6034 Ultimate Multi-Band Plug-In from McDSP is a flexible multiband dynamics processor offering compression, expansion, and gating modules from the 6050 Ultimate Channel Strip plug-in, and is available in a four-band crossover network for Mac computers. It can be used by engineers, producers, and musicians for music-making, mastering, post, and live sound applications.

Like the 6050 modules, the 6034 Ultimate Multi-Band modules can be swapped on the fly for quick auditioning while retaining relative settings. The crossover filter slopes can be configured at 6, 12, or 24 dB/oct. Metering includes gain reduction and output levels on all crossover bands, as well as main input and output levels.

The 6050 Ultimate Channel Strip Native V6 from McDSP features all the modules from the 6020 Ultimate EQ and 6030 Ultimate Compressor plug-ins and provides everything needed to make a mix sound great. Additional modules include gates, expanders, signal saturators, and specialized filters. Operation is simple and intuitive with artist presets from Mike Dean, Bob Horn, Neal Avron, ROCAsound, John Feldmann, Aaron Harris, and Lovy Longomba.

The plug-in features input and output stages, wrapped around three module bays in which any of the twenty-eight modules can be inserted. Easily drag and drop any module to rearrange the signal flow of the channel strip. A module selector panel allows quick auditioning of equalizers, compressors, and additional effects.

The native version and electronic download of the AE600 Active EQ V6 from McDSP is a virtual-processor plug-in that features six, fully-overlapping fixed and active EQ bands with each band having its own gain, frequency, Q, and mode controls. It can be utilized on Mac and Windows computers by producers, engineers, and musicians for applications such as recordings, films, broadcast TV, voice-overs, post-production, and more.

The AE600's active EQ response is determined by each band's threshold, attack, and release settings. A ratio control determines input signal level sensitivity to further articulate how the active EQ will reach maximum active equalization. Other EQ mode options include parametric, proportional Q parametric, 5x Q parametric, Baxandall shelving EQ, vintage-styled EQ, X-style shelving EQ, Baxandall shelving EQ plus filtering, and high- and low-pass filtering.

Additionally, peak signal text readouts for each active EQ band's key signal allow for quick setup of each band's active EQ threshold and are located underneath band dynamics plots. Input and output controls, individual band bypass, band control linking, and band key signal monitoring round out the features of the AE600.

Channel G from McDSP features calibration modes for music, postproduction, and models of the world's most popular analog mixing desks. Including three plug-ins: G Dynamics, G Equalizer, and G Console, this plug-in is compatible with Avid S1, S4, S6 control surfaces, D-Control and D-Command legacy control surfaces, and the S6L live sound consoles. This is the Native version of the plug-in, which supports AAX Native, AU, and VST3, on compatible DAWs. This plug-in runs on Windows or Mac systems, Apple silicon, and the latest Intel processors.

DE555 Advanced De-Esser from McDSP provides transparent and precise de-essing. Intelligent signal analysis allows the DE555 to perform its de-essing at any signal level without requiring manual input. HF-only mode allows you to reduce the signal level of ess sounds without affecting the rest of the original dialog. Real-time display of de-essing amounts and key filter responses enable quick and easy setup.

This is the Native version of the plug-in, which supports Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, FL Studio, Ableton Live, LUNA, Reaper, Sonar, Studio One, and other DAWs that support AAX, AU, and/or VST3 plug-in formats. This plug-in runs on Windows or Mac systems, Apple silicon, and the latest Intel processors.

The EC-300 Echo Collection Native from McDSP combines the diverse sounds of three distinct echo effects into a single, easy-to-use, and versatile plug-in. It offers Magnetic, Digital, and Analog delay types, which come with additional Character modes and an assortment of user controls to help audio engineers and musicians create original delay sounds, for their audio productions.

The Magnetic delay emulate the smooth and warm sound of magnetic tape, while the Analog delay offers modulation options ideal for recreating vintage effects such as phaser, flanger, chorus, and more. The Digital delay comes with over 75 Synthetic Impulse Models (SIM) and four equalizers for enhanced tone-shaping options.

Each delay features adjustable saturation, wow & flutter, delay output ducking/compression, filtering/EQ, and level controls at the input and output stages. Processing can be achieved in the feedback loop or post-loop. The plug-in can operate in Single, Dual, or Ping-Pong modes, and delay times can be synchronized to the host DAW or to a tapped tempo.

This version of EC-300 Echo Collection supports AAX Native, AU, VST formats.

FutzBox from McDSP is a distortion and noise generator plug-in that enables you to reliably and repeatedly create low-fidelity versions of your audio. This plug-in helps you simulate the sound of audio transmitted through radios, cell phones, and televisions. FutzBox includes filtering and EQ, distortion, a noise generator, and gating to provide you with the tools to degrade your audio as you see fit. You can mix the distorted audio with the original in real time, useful for scene transitions.

This is the Native version, compatible with Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, FL Studio, Ableton Live, LUNA, Reaper, Sonar, Studio One, and other DAWs that support AAX, AU, and/or VST3 plug-in formats. This plug-in runs on Windows or Mac systems, Apple silicon, and the latest Intel processors.

The native version, electronic download of the ML8000 Advanced Limiter V6 from McDSP uses two completely separate stages of processing for peak-level audio adjustment. It can be utilized on Mac and Windows computers by producers, engineers, and musicians for applications such as recordings, films, broadcast TV, voice-overs, post-productions, and more.

The first stage of the ML8000 features a multiband limiter with 8 bands of active processing. Each band has its own gain and threshold control. Additional overall band controls include release-time and limiter modes, which are calibrated similarly to the modes of the ML4000 limiter. An additional focus mode provides articulation changes on how each band tracks and limits the incoming signal.

The second stage of the ML8000 is a Master Limiter that recreates a ML4000 limiter algorithm. It also includes a filter design to reduce peak distortion. The 8 bands of processing are controlled from the response plot, large gain faders, and convenient threshold markers for each band's input meter. In addition, visual feedback, multiple metering sources, and an intuitive user interface make the ML8000 an easy choice for your engineering needs.

Use the NF575 Noise Filter from McDSP to remove a variety of cyclical noises from your audio. It features five notch filters that can be linked harmonically. Additionally, high-pass and low-pass filters can be used to reduce low-frequency rumble as well as high-frequency hiss. Featuring selectable slopes of 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 dB/oct with a control range that covers the entire audible spectrum.

The Native plug-in is for use with DAWs including Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, FL Studio, Ableton Live, LUNA, Reaper, Sonar, Studio One, and other DAWs that support AAX, AU, and/or VST3 plug-in formats.

The SA-2 Dialog Processor from McDSP is a plug-in based on the hardware originally conceived by Academy Award winning recording mixer Mike Minkler. Used on over one hundred major motion pictures, the software is designed to improve the overall sound of recorded speech, be it in a movie, television show, documentary, or for that matter, any creative media production involving the spoken word. It is equally useful for vocals, it can be used for adjusting the timbre of any track, and it delivers a de-esser and a multi-frequency compressor.

The processor is made up of five-bands of specifically placed active equalization, configured in a variety of modes to best address common issues of dialog. Each band has a threshold control to determine at what signal level the active equalizer begins to affect the signal, and an enable button to quickly audition the effect of any given band. Two mode selectors allow for controlling the ballistics of the active equalization, and for placing the five bands at specific points in the frequency spectrum. Finally, input and output controls are available for overall adjustment.
