An Essential Multiband Mastering Plug-in
The McDSP ML4000 mastering limiter and dynamics plug-in is actually two incredible dynamics processors in one: the ML1 mastering limiter and the ML4 multiband gate, expander, and compressor. Together, these amazing dynamics engines provide you with the power and control to pump up stems and final mixes, imbuing the professional gloss that gives tracks that vital "finished" sound. The ML4000 mastering suite is structured so that the multiband ML4 processor feeds directly into the ML1 limiter, giving you total flexibility over the final compression and dynamics stages. Steep 24dB/octave filters carve the ML4's bands into isolated frequencies, allowing you to fine-tune specific bands. 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. Ask any Sweetwater Sales Engineer and they'll confirm: McDSP's ML4000 is a solid solution for final dynamics processing.
Note: The HD version of McDSP ML4000 is compatible with Avid HDX systems. Non-Avid HDX users should purchase the Native version. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information.

Maximum dynamic control
Atypical controls and functions, such as upward expansion, maximize loudness without leaving a noticeable impact on tone. The ML1's brickwall limiting also uses an advanced lookahead to treat peaks smoothly. Further tone-shaping tools such as analog saturation modeling allow you to add warmth and additional vitality to your audio. The result is a sound that's naturally inflated and perceptibly louder, without sounding flat or over-compressed.
