Classic Pack has made some of the biggest hits out of any single plug-in bundle. Be sure to check out the convenient mapping of the encoder switches with rotating knobs on the S3 console when using McDSP plug-ins – just press the knob once to engage second control assigned to it.īut what makes the McDSP AAX DSP plug-ins useful for live sound production? Read on.McDSP’s legendary emulations of vintage equalizers, compressors, tape machines and channel amplifiers are available together as the Classic Pack.Ĭlassic Pack comes with a complete arsenal of tools that recording engineers from all backgrounds require, and includes some of the first plug-ins to ever convincingly emulate analogue hardware.
McDSP AAX DSP plug-ins have customized page tables for the S3 console for the EQ and Dynamics Channel Control sections, and the Global Control Insert Mode section. Take the ultra low latency in McDSP plug-ins out on the road and the difference is, literally, right in front of your, uh, ears!Ĭontrol surfaces are only as useful as long as the software maps to them in an intelligent manner. Most McDSP AAX DSP plug-ins have only 16 samples of latency. Minimizing the amount of the time it takes to get signal from the performer to the crowd is critical, so the ultra low latency in McDSP plug-ins is appreciated by many a FOH and monitoring engineer. Your fans will thank you, who by the way, are everywhere. You’ll be able to use the same McDSP plug-ins you had in the studio, and they’ll operate the same way on the road.
The Avid S3L System is built around the HDX DSP platform, and McDSP plug-ins operate as well on the S3L System as they do in Pro Tools.
McDSP AAX DSP plug-ins are custom made for the HDX DSP cards, take full advantage of the processing power therein, and have earned a reputation for reliability and quality.
But really, when you’re going on tour, you don’t want to re-do your carefully crafted studio sound! So if you’re a McDSP user, and like what you’re hearing from your Pro Tools session, then going on tour with an S3L system is a good plan. Ok we’re not Avid, but we’d like to be everywhere – because if you’re not everywhere, you’re nowhere, which isn’t even somewhere, so don’t go there. But just what are the cool features that make McDSP plug-ins ideal for live sound production? Customers not already owning v5 McDSP plug-ins can purchase upgrades from the McDSP online store.
McDSP support for Avid S3L systems is available as a free update to v5 customers. S3L compatible installers are available for download now. The Avid S3L modular live sound system takes full advantage of the AAX DSP plug-ins originally found only in Pro Tools, so users can go from the studio to the stage and back again. McDSP plug-ins like the new AE400 Active Equalizer, and bundles like Live Pack and even Everything Pack, now include support for this new modular, networked live sound system from Avid. McDSP has qualified all its AAX DSP plug-ins to operate on the S3L systems, and even added a few improvements to better support the S3 control surface. Take the power of McDSP plug-ins from the studio to the stage, and back again, with the release of Avid S3L System support for all McDSP HD v5 plug-ins.
