McDSP: MC2000 Multi-Band Compressor

McDSP: MC2000 Multi-Band Compressor

The MC2000 is a high-end multi-band compressor plug-in designed to emulate the sounds of vintage and modern compressors.

The MC2000 is three plug-ins: MC202 (two-band compression), MC303 (three-band compression), and MC404 (four-band compression). It gives the user complete control of multi-band dynamic compression. Non-standard Knee and BITE controls allow unique and unprecedented articulation of compression characteristics. Multiple peak detection circuit types provide flexibility only previously achieved by owning several compression units.

Crossover Control

The MC2000 crossover can be controlled from the text displays just to the right of the Crossover Display, or from the display itself.

BITE

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

Band Linking

Quick control setup, expedited edits, and new creative compression techniques are possible using the compression band Link control.

"The P606 and MC404 have become staples in my vocal template. The MC404 helps the vocal sit in the mix while the P606 gives me that air I’m looking for in a really musical, beautiful way.”

Simone Torres            Vocal Producer & Engineer, Cardi B, Dua Lipa, Jessie J
