APPENDIX 12

The MC2000 master control section has a pair of input and output level controls,

and o ers plenty of visual feedback via its Crossover Frequency Response and

Compression Curve Displays.

In the Crossover Frequency Response Display, the frequency responses of

each band are shown and the crossover points between each band are directly

adjustable. To change a crossover frequency you can simply click and drag the

portion of the graph where the bands intersect. If you prefer numerical entry,

you can change the crossover frequencies by typing into the data entry  elds

located close to the upper right edge of the display, marked X1, X2, and X3

(depending on how many crossover points are available in the plug-in), which

show the crossover frequencies numerically.

The Compression Curve Display shows a graph of the input level versus the

output level, in dBs, of the compressor. Each band’s compression curve is

displayed in the same colour as the band is shown in the Crossover Display.

and a compressor is applied to each band. The two-band compressor is

designated the MC202, the three-band version is the MC303, and the four-band

version is the MC404. These are available in both mono and stereo versions.

MC2000 plug-ins use the compression algorithms from McDSP’s

CompressorBank plug-in, so they can model a wide variety of vintage and

contemporary compressor implementations – in multi-band con gurations!

Imagine a three-band stereo compressor with a dbx 165 on the low-frequency

band, a Neve 33609C on the mid-frequency band, and a Teletronix LA2A on

the high-frequency band!
