Analog Channel from McDSP provides you with the sound of high-end analog tape, tape machines, and channel amplifiers. In addition to creating the artifacts that affect analog machines, such as bias, playback speed and IEC1/2 equalization, Analog Channel allows you to adjust low-frequency roll-off and head bump, independent of playback speed settings. This is the HD version of the plug-in, which supports AAX Native, AAX DSP, AU, and VST3, on compatible DAWs. McDSP HD plug-ins support the VENUE S6L systems for live audio. This plug-in runs on Windows or Mac systems, Apple silicon, and the latest Intel processors.

- The user can select from several playback head types, tape formulations, and even control the tape saturation recovery time.
- The HD plug-in supports the VENUE S6L systems for live audio, and it also 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
Drum Separation
Two great uses for AC202 on drums are the elimination of rumble at extremely low frequencies, and the separation of the bass and snare drum sounds
EQ/Tape Type
The AC202 plug-in allows the selection of IEC1 or IEC2 equalization
Roll-Off
The AC202 plug-in gives user control over low frequency roll-off and head bump—independent of tape speed. No longer is there debate over 15 ips for great low- end response vs. 30 ips for better high-frequency response
Speed
Playback speeds of 7.5, 15, 30 ips (inches per second) let you increase/decrease high-end clarity and vintage sound. Changes in playback speed affect tape saturation, dynamic range, and the low-frequency roll-off of the playback
