McDSP ML4000 Mastering Limiter HD v7 Plug-In
Description
High-resolution limiter and multi-band dynamics processor designed for music, mastering, post and live sound - AAX DSP/Native, AU, VST3
The McDSP ML4000 is a high-resolution limiter and multi-band dynamics processor designed for music, mastering, post, and live sound. The ML4000 is two plug-ins: ML1 (Master Limiter) and ML4 - (Multi-band Gate, Expander, and Compressor fed into the ML1 mastering limiter).
The Release, Knee, and Mode controls can setup the subjective sound of the limiter. The multi-band dynamics processor can be used to augment or correct the input signal and best prepare it for treatment by the mastering limiter.
While there is no EQ section in the ML4, the crossovers and the band output gains are the basic controls of a graphic EQ of sorts. The output levels of each band can be altered, and then are recombined in the mastering limiter section.
Use the Real-Time Analyzer to monitor how the frequency spectrum is being affected.
