Retro Compressor HD

The 4030 Retro Compressor HD includes AAX DSP compatibility for ProTools HD systems.

The 4030 Retro Compressor is a new dynamic range control topology coupled with a wet/dry mix control to balance compressed and uncompressed signals. An active attack and release design allows aggressive compression settings with minimal artifact generation.

All Retro plug-ins use a McDSP designed output stage topology to eliminate digital clipping at any output level and produce a smoother distortion characteristic. This feature is in addition to the analog saturation modeling that has made McDSP famous over the last decade.

Retro plug-ins are a line of 'classics' that can live up to their own name without emulating something else.

McDSP's v7 release brings tons of new and exciting features to their entire line of software products, along with amazing high-definition user interfaces.
