Analog Channel Plug-In by McDSP Now Shipping
April 23, 2001McDSP is shipping their latest plug-in - Analog Channel. The Analog Channel plug-in includes two different devices: the AC1 for emulating analog mixing console channels, and the AC2, which emulates analog tape and analog tape machines.
AC1 - Pure digital tracks can suffer from harsh digital clipping. Analog channel acts as a 'digital pre-amp' allowing even excessive amounts of gain without digital
distortion. A drive control sets up how close to the saturation-region the audio is processed, and even the attack and release times of the distortion character are
adjustable. And AC1 is the most efficient McDSP plug-in ever - up to 24 mono channels or 16 stereo channels on a single MIX dsp chip.
AC2 - Standard tape-machine parameters such as bias, tape speed, and IEC1/2 standards are provided. Control well beyond the limits of the actual devices includes
adjustable low frequency roll off and head bump - independent of tape speed. Modern and vintage tape formulations. You can select from several playback head types,
and even control the rate at which tape saturation is disenaged.
Suggested retail price is $495, available at dealers and direct from the McDSP web site.
McDSP plug-ins support all Digidesign (tm) plug-In formats; the TDM, AudioSuite (AS) and Real-Time AudioSuite (RTAS) versions are bundled into one plug-In.
