McDSP: ML8000 Advanced Limiter

McDSP: ML8000 Advanced Limiter

The ML8000 Advanced Limiter is the next generation of limiter technology, using two completely separate stages of processing for significantly improved peak level adjustment.

Visual feedback, multiple metering sources, and an intuitive user interface make the ML8000 an easy choice for the audio professional.

Clean Mastering

Enter the mastering limiter, a device capable of achieving transparent results and insuring such an output ceiling is never exceeded. The ML8000 was designed with this primary application in mind, and can readily suit many musical genres.

Level Control

The ML8000 can setup a maximum output level on a variety of busses, and add subjectively suitable effects to those groups using the Knee, Mode, and Release controls.

RTA

Use the Real-Time Analyzer to monitor how the frequency spectrum is being affected. The RTA feature is only available for AAX Native, AU, and VST3 plug-in formats.

“I work a lot on jazz and acoustic music and I use the McDSP ML8000 on drums every day. It gives me a lot of control and enhances every nuance of the performance.”
