• AE600 Active EQ V6 (HD, Download) The HD 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. Note: McDSP plug-ins work with iLok Cloud. AAX, AU and VST plug-ins work with iLok Cloud.

• ML8000 Advanced Limiter V6 (HD, Download) The HD 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-production, 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. Note: McDSP plug-ins work with iLok Cloud. AAX, AU and VST plug-ins work with iLok Cloud.

It can be used by engineers, producers, and musicians for music, mastering, post, and live sound applications.The ML4000 is two plug-ins. The ML1 mastering limiter uses a flexible brick wall look-ahead design that is coupled with multiple stages of limiting for superior peak detection. The unique knee and mode controls allow the ML1 to handle any kind of material with a variety of responses ranging from transparent to aggressive.In addition, the ML4 multiband dynamics processor includes a 4-band gate, expander (upwards or downwards), and a compressor fed into the same limiter algorithm found in the ML1. Each band's gate, expander, and compressor can be configured separately or linked together. Steep 24 dB/oct crossover filters minimize signal leakage into adjacent bands.The ML4 crossover page shows the overall frequency response in real-time of the input, output, or total dynamics effect, on top of the graphically adjustable crossover frequencies. Accurate output adjustment is fast and simple with output ceiling control, large meters, and meter level text readouts.The HD plug-ins provide AAX DSP for use with Pro Tools HD, but also includes AAX Native, Audiosuite, Audio Units and VST versions for use with other DAWs including Logic, Digital Performer (DP), Cubase, and Ableton Live.

• SA-2 Dialog Processor - Recorded Voice Enhancement Plug-In (HD, Download) The SA-2 Dialog Processor from McDSP is a plug-in based on the hardware originally conceived by Academy Award-winning re-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.
  
  The HD version is designed to work on Pro Tools | HD systems, but also includes the Native version with AudioSuite, Audio Units and VST format plug-ins.
  • Five independent bands of strategic active equalization
  • Multiple process modes for a variety of applications
  • Unique signal reduction metering
