MC2000 HD v7 is a multiband compression plug-in designed to control dynamics by frequency zones without crushing the entire signal. It allows stabilizing an overly irregular low end, taming harshness in the midrange, softening overly prominent highs, or conversely enhancing attack and presence sensation. In mixing, it is particularly effective on drum buses, bass, guitars, vocals, or mix bus. In mastering, it becomes a finishing tool to balance energy between bands, improve coherence, and deliver a tighter and more modern sound.
The engine of MC2000 HD v7 is designed to offer great versatility: you can choose compression in two, three, or four bands depending on the desired level of control. This approach helps address dynamic issues in a targeted way: for example, controlling the bass without muffling the clarity of the highs, or smoothing a voice in the midrange without dulling the air and sibilance. The mono and stereo versions facilitate integration on both individual tracks and buses.
In addition to essential controls like Threshold and Ratio, MC2000 HD v7 allows shaping the compression feel. The Knee parameter influences the transition between uncompressed and compressed signal, ranging from a hard compression to a more gradual and musical action. The Bite control (Bi-directional Intelligent Transient Enhancement) adjusts the transient response to achieve a more incisive or, conversely, softer and controlled result. The outcome: you can switch from a transparent behavior to a more expressive compression depending on style and source.
Each compressor relies on multiple peak detection circuits based on time-constant models to track signal peak evolution and apply more coherent dynamic compression. This design helps better control rapid variations (snare drum attack, bass slap, vocal consonants) while maintaining a natural feel in the sustain.
To add density and color when needed, MC2000 HD v7 integrates an analog saturation modeling. The whole process relies on double precision processing to preserve detail, stability, and definition, particularly useful during advanced settings or on complex signals like a bus or master.
Thanks to its ultra-low latency, MC2000 HD v7 easily integrates into recording, production, or mixing projects without compromising responsiveness. This is an asset for working quickly, automating precisely, and maintaining an immediate feel during adjustments.
