Software Compatibility

You'll need an iLok copy protection device in order to use this software. If you already have one, you're good to go. If you don't, you can buy one here. An iLok is a small USB gadget (about the size of a thumb drive) that plugs into your computer. It "unlocks" the software, allowing you to use it.

Most software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers, but check to make sure.

If you're using Pro Tools, AAX plug-ins (or RTAS for older versions) are what you need. Most other Mac DAWs support AU plug-ins. VST is compatible with a number of Mac and Windows programs. Be sure you choose plug-ins that work with your DAW!

Superior Limiting, Tons of Control

With its two independent processing stages, the ML8000 Advanced Limiter from McDSP arms you with next-generation dynamics control technology that delivers a major improvement in peak level optimization. The ML8000's first stage employs eight bands of active processing for better phase response as compared with traditional crossover-based processing. You also have a selection of limiter modes and release time adjustment, with a particularly effective focus mode allowing for subtle articulation changes in how each band tracks and treats the incoming signal. Stage two is the Master Limiter — a precise re-creation of McDSP's acclaimed ML4000 limiter algorithm — with filter design enhancements that further reduce peak distortion. Version 7 introduces several optimizations to this powerful plug-in, with full support for Apple Silicon and the latest Intel processors, a high-definition user interface, over 1,500 studio-quality presets, zero-latency algorithms for seamless operation, and much more. Sweetwater's advice: with its superior limiting, low latency, multiple metering sources, visual feedback, and clean user interface, the McDSP ML8000 is a must-have for any audio professional.

Note: The HD version of McDSP ML8000 is compatible with Avid HDX systems. Non-Avid HDX users should purchase the Native version. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information.

Extensive dynamics control for the audio pro

The ML8000 is a state-of-the-art look-ahead brickwall limiter plug-in with an extensive control set. You can control the ML8000's eight processing bands from the response plot, from the large gain faders beneath it, or from convenient threshold markers that are aligned to the input meter for each band. Adjusting text readouts with your keyboard and mouse is a breeze, and you can link any number of bands to another band, solo each band, or monitor its key input.
