Classic Pack HD v7 Black Friday pricing is 48% off, $179, with the deal ending Nov 23, 2026, on McDSP's bundle of vintage-style equalizers, compressors, tape machines and channel amplifiers for AAX DSP.
This is the HD edition of the Classic Pack, aimed at Pro Tools users running AAX DSP hardware. A Native version of the bundle also exists, so match the edition to your rig.
McDSP groups its emulations of vintage hardware into one package: equalizers, compressors, tape machines and channel amps.
The maker describes it as a full set of tools for recording engineers from any background, and says it includes some of the first plugins to convincingly emulate analogue hardware.
McDSP also says the Classic Pack has played a part in some of the biggest hits of any single plugin bundle.
FilterBank is the equalizer the maker highlights in this bundle, and it was McDSP's first product.
The maker says it rivals any analogue EQ, can emulate other equalizers, and can also be set up as a custom EQ of your own design.
Features listed for the v7 line:
HD v7 plugins come in AAX DSP, AAX Native, AU and VST3 formats. VST support ended with v7.0, and the VST versions of v6 plugins will no longer be updated and will be uninstalled.
The DAWs named by the maker are Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, LUNA, Reaper, Sonar and Studio One. Any other host that loads AAX, AU or VST3 should also work. McDSP HD plugins also support VENUE S6L systems, which use a VENUE-specific installer from the McDSP website.
On Mac, you need macOS 10.13 or higher, 64-bit only, and the plugins run natively on Intel and M1 Apple Silicon. Windows needs Windows 7, 8 or 10, 64-bit only.
Activation runs through iLok. You can use an iLok2 or iLok3 USB Smart Key, or a free iLok License Manager account with an iLok Cloud session. Each v7 plugin carries two activations per authorisation.
