Key Features
The McDSP 4020 Retro EQ HD v7 is a HD-ready four-band vintage-inspired EQ plug-in with a transparent yet distinct character. Compatible with HD formats, the McDSP 4020 Retro EQ 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. Perfect for adding warmth and depth to virtually any instrument that may be present in your mix, McDSP 4020 Retro EQ employs smooth and distortion-free high and low shelves, paired with two semi-parametric midrange bands.
Using proprietary algorithms whilst maintaining vintage character and tonality, each band operates a unique gain-dependent variable Q-slope, including a narrowing from 12 to 24dB/oct on each filter. The variable slopes allow for an increase in boost/cut frequencies at higher gain levels, helping to make more precise and surgical EQ moves when required.
Encapsulating the vintage sound goes far beyond the EQ controls. With McDSP 4020 Retro EQ HD v7, a unique transformer-like output is paired with analog saturation modelling to deliver the warmth of classic hardware EQs in plug-in format.
