McDSP 4030 Retro Comp Native v7 Overview
The McDSP 4030 Retro Comp HD v7 is a HD-ready vintage-style compressor plug-in with a distinct yet transparent character. Compatible with HD formats, the McDSP 4030 Retro Comp HD v7 can run on your host processing or the DSP processors (such as the McDSP APB or the Avid HDX) to save your system from excessive CPU. Ideal for a huge range of audio applications, supplied in both mono and stereo formats the 4030 Retro Comp can work in individual instruments in your mix or entire groups or full masters. Creating consistent and punchy vocals, drums, guitars, or keyboards, up to 36dB of gain reduction is on tap with a continuous ratio dial to do anything from aggressive limiting to soft dynamic shaping.
Designed with the modern producer and engineer in mind, the Retro Comp boasts a signature transparent and retro sound with contemporary features. The signature sound of McDSP analog saturation modelling on the output stage pairs with anti-clipping output technology to ensure no unwanted digital clipping occurs. Integrating with any session is made easy with a full suite of automatable parameters and Side Chain input for triggering compression via external sources.
