McDSP UPDATES FOR NAMM 2024

McDSP is excited to announce the all new BOB APB Plug-in for NAMM 2024. The BOB APB plug-in boosts low frequencies in the same way as the original BOB module from the 6060 Ultimate Module collection, with additional analog processing options. All original BOB module controls are in the BOB APB plug-in - Bias, Frequency, Squash, Rate, and Bias Modes A and B. A new two stage analog signal path in the BOB APB plug-in further enhance the original bass optimized bias using three new controls - Gain, Trim/HR (Headroom), and Analog Modes I and II. Metering of the overall gain reduction, Squash gain reduction, input, and output, is shown via two VU style meters on the far left and right of the user interface.

McDSP’s new SA-3 Spectral Processor will be available for Windows in February 2024. The SA-3 takes the algorithms of the Engineering Emmy Award winning SA-2 Dialog Processor to another level. New features include adding over 1,000 bands of processing, a user programmable Bias curve, unique Focus, Range, and Density control over spectral processing, side chain support and mid/side processing.

McDSP’s KD1 Kinetic Drive APB Plug-in has been selected as a TEC Award Finalist under the Signal Processing Software (Effects) Category. The KD1 Kinetic Drive APB plug-in provides direct control over many analog saturation attributes of the APB hardware, for a variety of sounds from subtle harmonic overtones to complete sonic mayhem.

Finally, McDSP has released a public beta of its new low latency mode for all APB plug-ins for Pro Tools versions 2023.12 and later versions. With this update, APB plug-ins can be used at any hardware buffer size, for latency as low as sub 5 milliseconds. This update, available for Intel and Apple silicon processors, is available in the latest APB plug-ins download from the McDSP website.

BOB APB Plug-in Feature List:
• Unique bass optimized bias (BOB) algorithm
• Two stage analog gain section
• Adjustable analog compression and saturation
• VU style metering of input, output, overall gain reduction and Squash gain reduction
• Sample accurate automation of analog processing

The estimated ship date of the BOB APB plug-in is March 2024.

The BOB, SA-3, and KD1 plug-ins, along with the rest of the McDSP product line, will be available to hear in-person at McDSP’s NAMM Booth #14914.
