McDSP

Winter NAMM Show: McDSP has announced the new vintage Retro Pack plug-in line, featureing the 4020 Retro EQ, the 4030 Retro Compressor and the 4040 Retro Limiter:

• The 4020 Retro EQ is a four-band EQ and complimentary filter set. The HF and LF bands are shelving EQ, with two additional parametric EQs at the HMF and LMF bands.
• The 4030 Retro Compressor is a new dynamic range control topology coupled with a wet/dry mix control to balance compressed and uncompressed signals. An active attack and release design allows aggressive compression settings with minimal artifact generation.
• The 4040 Retro Limiter combines a look-ahead brick wall limiter function with several subjective treatments to make the limiting action subtle, and yet vintage.

Shipping in Spring 2009, the Retro Pack HD Bundle will be available for $995, and the Native Bundle will be available for $495. The McDSP HD line supports TDM, RTAS and Audiosuite formats and the Native line supports RTAS and Audiosuite formats.

McDSP has anounced that all its products are fully functional with the new Digidesign 003 family of interfaces.

Users currently owning McDSP product will be able to continue using those products on the new 003 systems without having to purchase an upgrade.
