Down and dirty with McDSP
New from McDSP is Futz Box, a Pro Tools plug-in that presents new and exciting ways to make your audio sound worse. Recreations of everything from broken speakers to megaphones are on offer, thanks to a technology McDSP are calling Simulated Impulse Modelling. This, they say, allows them to create extremely accurate emulations of the devices in question without the CPU overhead associated with convolution processing.
Also new is the NF575 Noise Filter, designed to remove hums and buzzes from your signals. Up to five notch filters can be linked to remove hums both at their fundamental frequencies and their associated harmonics, and there’s also a low- and a high-pass filter.
It’s joined by the equally new DE555 (geddit?) de-esser. This, they say, uses intelligent analysis of the incoming signal to de-ess effectively without the need for a manual threshold setting, and a unique ‘focus’ control to target the processor’s actions as accurately as possible. The plug-ins will not be available separately but will be added to McDSP’s Emerald Pack as soon as testing is complete.
