The MC2000 multi-band compressor Native v7 Black Friday deal is 38% off at $79, with the offer ending Nov 23, 2026, on McDSP's three-in-one multi-band dynamics set.
MC2000 is a multi-band compressor plugin made up of three separate plug-ins. MC202 compresses in two bands, MC303 in three, and MC404 in four.
The MC2000 Multi-Band Compressor Native v7 is the native-format edition of this plugin. McDSP also sells an HD version for AAX DSP users.
McDSP describes the MC2000 as complete control over multi-band dynamic compression. Each band gets the controls you'd expect from a compressor:
On top of those sit two less common controls, Knee and BITE. The maker says they allow unique articulation of the compression characteristics.
The signal is split into bands by steep 24 dB/Oct crossover filters. McDSP says the slope keeps signal from leaking into the neighbouring compression bands. The crossover points are adjustable, so you set where each band starts and stops.
Multiple peak detection circuit types are built in. The maker says this gives you flexibility that previously meant owning several separate compression units.
Multi-band control linking lets you tie the bands' settings together instead of moving each one by hand.
McDSP lists these features for v7:
The Native v7 plugins come in AAX Native, AU and VST3 formats. As of v7.0, the old VST format is no longer supported, and VST versions of v6 McDSP plugins will not be updated and will be uninstalled.
On Mac, you need macOS 10.13 or higher, 64-bit only, and macOS 12 Monterey is listed as compatible. The plugins run natively on Intel and M1 Apple Silicon. On Windows, McDSP lists Windows 7, 8 and 10, 64-bit only.
McDSP says its HD and Native plugins work in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, LUNA, Reaper, Sonar, Studio One, and other DAWs that support AAX, AU or VST3.
Activation runs 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 includes two activations per authorisation.
Yes. The MC2000 multi-band compressor Native v7 Black Friday deal is 38% off, bringing it to $79. The offer ends Nov 23, 2026. This is the Native version of the plugin, not the HD version for AAX DSP.
MC2000 is three plug-ins in one: MC202 for two-band compression, MC303 for three-band and MC404 for four-band. Each comes in mono and stereo versions, and McDSP lists new presets and updated high definition interfaces with v7.
The Native v7 plugins ship as AAX Native, AU and VST3. McDSP lists Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, LUNA, Reaper, Sonar and Studio One as compatible. The old VST format ended with v7.0.
Activation uses iLok. That means an iLok2 or iLok3 USB Smart Key, or a free iLok License Manager account with an iLok Cloud session. Each McDSP v7 plugin comes with two activations per authorisation.
