McDSP plug-ins

In addition to Channel G’s extensive dynamics, filtering, and equalization

capabilities, there are also models of world famous mixing desks. Control

calibrations are adjusted for each desk ‘mode’, allowing a user familiar with the

original analog consoles to be immediately intimate with the equalizer and

dynamics facilities of Channel G.

Response Plots

The G Dynamics and G Console (Dynamics) con gurations display the Input/

Output transfer functions of both the Expander/Gate and Compressor/Limiter,

as well as the frequency response of the Filter section.

The G Equalizer and G Console (Equalization) configurations display the

frequency response of the Filter section. The frequency response display

shows a centre line at 0 dB, and extends to +/- 18 dB in the visible display.

Console Meters

All of the Channel G plug-in groups have a metering display positioned at the

centre of the user interface.

The leftmost pair of meters shows the Input level after the Input Gain has been

applied. To the right of this there is a gain reduction meter for the Expander/

Gate, with a gain reduction meter for the Compressor/Limiter to the right

again. Moving further along, there is a meter that shows the Compressor/

Limiter output after makeup-gain has been applied. The rightmost pair of

meters shows the  nal Output after any Output Gain has been applied.

The Gain reduction meters are completely orange. The other signal level

meters are green for all metered values at and below −6 dB, while metered

values above −6 dB are displayed in yellow.

There are peak LED indicators above each signal level meter (Input,

Compressor/Limiter or DYN Output, Output) that will light up red when the

signal level is approximately −0.05 dB.

Channel G Compact

Channel G Compact is one plugin: this is a compact version of G-Console with

no Exp/Gate, just one set of  lters, and only four bands of EQ instead of  ve.

Channel G was originally designed to work with the D-Control ICON control

surfaces from Digidesign (Avid). Then the D-Command came out with a slightly

di erent control con guration in its center section, so McDSP came out with
