The Classic Pack Native v7 Black Friday deal puts McDSP's bundle of vintage-style equalizers, compressors, tape machines and channel amplifiers at $149, 50% off, with the offer ending Nov 23, 2026.
This is the Native version of the bundle. McDSP also sells an HD version, which is a separate product.
Classic Pack is McDSP's collection of emulations of vintage hardware. It covers the main tools recording engineers reach for: EQs, compressors, tape machines and channel amps.
The maker says it includes some of the first plug-ins to convincingly emulate analogue hardware. It also says the bundle has made some of the biggest hits of any single plug-in bundle.
FilterBank Native v7 is the one product the maker describes in detail. It is an equalizer plug-in and McDSP's first product.
The maker says FilterBank rivals any analogue EQ, and that it can emulate any EQ or be used to build a custom one of your own.
The v7 plugins share a set of features, listed by the maker:
Double precision processing keeps the math at 64-bit floats, which gives you more headroom for stacking several instances on a bus. Zero latency algorithms mean the plugins add no delay you need to compensate for.
The Native bundle supports AAX Native, AU and VST3. As of v7.0, VST is no longer supported, and VST versions of v6 McDSP plugins will not be updated and will be uninstalled.
McDSP lists these compatible DAWs: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, LUNA, Reaper, Sonar and Studio One. Any other DAW that supports AAX, AU or VST3 should also work.
On Mac, the requirement is macOS 10.13 or higher, 64-bit only, and the plugins run natively on Intel and M1 Apple Silicon processors. On Windows, you need Windows 7, 8 or 10, 64-bit only.
McDSP plugins authorize through iLok. You need an iLok2 or iLok3 USB Smart Key, or a free iLok License Manager account with an iLok Cloud session.
Each McDSP v7 plugin carries two activations per authorisation, so you can run it on two machines.
