McDSP: SPC2000 Serial/Parallel Compressor

McDSP: SPC2000 Serial/Parallel Compressor

The SPC2000 Compressor features multiple parallel and serial compression combinations. It takes the power and flexibility of the now classic CompressorBank plug-in by McDSP, and offers two (SPC202), three (SPC203), and four (SPC204) stage configurations with serial and parallel routing combinations unlike any dynamic processor. Couple this routing capability with the ability to emulate any other compressor, and it’s clear the SPC2000 is a serious audio tool.

Soft Knee

The Knee control has three ranges of values: undershoot range, overshoot range, and overshoot with compression ‘tail.’

Analog Modeling

The SPC2000 plug-in can model a wide variety of vintage and contemporary compressor implementations – in serial and parallel.

Time Constants

The SPC2000 compressors have two types of Time Constant (TC) circuit algorithms to emulate the TC circuit responses (and hence sound) of other compressors: Pure Peak Detection and Adaptive Release.

Input/Output

All SPC2000 compression bands come with an output/gain stage. Useful in amplifying low level signal levels, such as room ambience.

Plot Display

The Compression Curve Graph shows the Input vs. Output response (in dB) of the compressor, as determined by the Threshold, Compression, and Knee controls of each compression band.

Gain Reduction Meter

The SPC2000 plug-in has metering for each compression band (compression gain and selectable input or output metering) and final output metering.

Compression Controls

The compression section is comprised of 4 controls-Threshold, Compression, Knee, and BITE.

BITE

As the BITE control is increased, fast signal changes (transients) are allowed to pass through the compressor while the overall compression amount is the same.

Time Constant Circuit

The SPC2000 features two types of user controllable curves: Type-1 (Pure Peak Detection) and Type-2 (Adaptive Release).
