Improving on classics,
McDSP's three new plug-in offerings are not sold separately but rather as part
of the vast Emerald Pack ($1,395 RTAS/$2,595 TDM and as an upgrade, $95
RTAS/$195 TDM; www.mcdsp.com). The DE-555 De-Esser, NF-575 filter and FutzBox
distortion support Mac OS 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard, Windows XP and
Digidesign's Venue Live system. All three offer double-precision processing,
ultralow latency and come with mono and stereo versions. The DE-555 uses
intelligent signal analysis to perform de-essing at any signal level, negating
the need for a threshold setting. The NF-575 is a high-resolution filter for
surgically removing unwanted frequencies. Each of the five notch filters can be
fine-tuned and linked harmonically to fight 60-cycle hum; there is also a
detailed Analog Saturation model for realistic tone. Lastly, the FutzBox is a
fidelity destroyer. Simulated Impulse Models (SIMs) offer convolution-style
emulations of radios, cell phones, televisions and more in an extremely
optimized format, so they are significantly less taxing on your CPU. A noise
generator with ducking, a fast gate and varying types of filters, EQs and
distortion effects are all combined to help you futz with your sound in
creative ways.
