McDSP ML4000 HD v7

Full Description

Two plugins in one

ML1 master limiter and ML4 multi-band gate, expander and compressor are brought together in superb fashion so you can process signals of any kind, from transparent to aggressive. The ML1 master limiter utilises a brick-wall look-ahead design with multiple stages of limiting for peak detection like nothing else available. The ML4 dynamics processor gifts you a 4-band gate, up and down expander and compressor that all gets sent through the ML1's limiting algorithm so you get full dynamic control without needing to worry about peaks ruining your mix.

Essential features for any level of production

Mastering with limiting, expansion, gate and compression effects is vital in any production whether you're working from home on your latest lo-fi masterpiece or even working on a full-scale orchestral wonder in Abbey Road. It allows your music to be brought up to the industry standard level volume-wise, to be listenable on any type of today's devices. McDSP has designed ML4000 to give you the toolset to get your mixes there, with ceiling, threshold, knee and release controls on the ML1 and ML4 respectively, all with fully adjustable parameters so you can choose exactly how your mix sounds no matter the style or genre.

Check your processing with ease

These days it's good to have a visual response of what you're working on as sometimes sound can be deceiving and in this respect, ML4000 does not disappoint. Large meters and level readouts adorn the clean, intuitive interface meaning you have full awareness of how your processing looks with output adjustment being fast and simple for any last-minute changes. ML4000 is the last dynamics processor you'll ever need, versatile and packed full of features.
