The MC2000 is a high-end, multi-band compressor Plug-In designed to emulate any other compressor or create custom compressors, in two, three, and four band configurations. Imagine a three-band stereo compressor with a dbx165 on the low-band, the Neve 33609C on the mid-band, and a Teletronix LA2A on the high-band. These kinds of configurations, nearly impossible previously, are only presets away in the MC2000 plug-In. The addition of simultaneous metering of band inputs/outputs, compression gains, and final output, crossover and compression curve displays, automation of every control, and the ability to recall it instantly with a single preset make the MC2000 the multi-band compressor for the next millennium.

Each compression band of the MC2000 uses the award winning CompressorBank algorithms and controls giving the user complete control of dynamic compression. Common controls such as Output (make-up gain), Threshold, Compression (Ratio), Attack, and Release are provided. In addition to the standard controls, the actual shape and response of the compression curve can be adjusted with the Knee and Bite controls. Knee softens the compression curve, creating a smoother response. Bite gives the compressor the ability to allow signal transients to pass uncompressed, while the overall compression response is unchanged. These controls allow the user to emulate repsonses of their favorite vintage gear. The MC2000 gives the user complete control of multi-band dynamic compression.

The crossover sections in the MC2000 are steep 24 dB/oct filters, minimizing cross-talk between the compression bands. These filters are taken directly from FilterBank, the most highly regarded digital equalizer on the ProTools platform.

Multiple peak detection circuit types provide flexibility only previously achieved by owning different compression units. Steep 24 dB/oct crossover filters, taken from our award winning FilterBank plug-In, minimize signal leakage into adjacent compression bands. Variation of basic models are available in MC2000:

• Type1: pure peak detection
• Type2: pure peak detection combined with adaptive release times, plus a secondary release control
• Auto: signal levels are automatically tracked.

Features

• The MC2000 is 6 plug-Ins: the basic compressor from CompressorBank (CB1) is configured in 2, 3, and 4 bands - all available in mono and stereo versions.
