McDSP announce new mastering limiter plug-ins
McDSP’s latest release is ML4000, a two-piece plug-in set that includes the ML1 single-band limiter and the ML4 multi-band dynamics processor. ML1 features what you’d expect from a single-band limiter, including variable threshold, knee, release and ceiling controls, plus a look-ahead mode and zero-latency operation.
Its user interface is simple, too, offering input, output and gain-reduction meters. ML4 uses the same algorithm, but adds four bands of multi-dynamics to the main limiter. Each band features a compressor, expander and gate, which can all be used simultaneously. Crossover frequencies are variable and can be controlled using the attractive graphical user interface. Both plug-ins can be used in mono or stereo modes, at sample rates up to 192kHz, depending on your hardware.
The ML4000 package runs on Windows XP and Mac OS 10.4. It is available on its own — in TDM, RTAS and Audiosuite formats — costing £295, and as part of both HD and Native versions of the Emerald Pack, which cost £1615 and £795 respectively. Existing Emerald Pack customers can purchase ML4000 for an nominal fee and there’s an LE version included in McDSP’s Project Studio bundle, which costs £351.
