McDSP plugins?

There is a special at the moment on the Studio LE bundle for AUS$299 with a number of the LE version plug-ins. They are also throwing in 1 free upgrade of the LE plug in to the full NAtive version of that same plug in if purchase by the end of May
You get # Analog Channel LE (AC2)
# Chrome Tone LE (Chrome Tone Amp)
# CompressorBank LE (CB4)
# FilterBank LE (F1, E4, P4)
# ML4000 LE (ML1)
# Revolver LE (Basic Convolution & Full Impulse Library)
# Synthesizer One LE (Preset Player)
At the moment I use the Waves Musician 2 bundle and really like it as it is only a $30 WUP renewal cost. The plug-ins are great esp. the Ren EQ, and the doubler, super tap and comps.
Does any body out there use McDSP plug-ins and what are there comments on them?
I just thought I might add to my plugins with the CB4 comps and I have heard a lot of good things about users of the AC2 and the ML4000 looks like a great alternative to L1 which I dont have or want to buy.

Whilst I haven't used these I did trade emails with the company when I was looking to purchase the Revolver, which they had a special on at the time. The person there was extremely helpful, even to the point of 'extending the special' for me whilst I was deciding. Personal service is good service.

There are some decent reviews if you consult the google machine.

SoundOnSound reviewed some of these some time ago: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar07/articles/mcdspproject.htm. Most notable mention from this review is "Of the seven plug-ins, two really stand out for me: the ML4000 LE mastering limiter and the Revolver LE convolution reverb".

Not in the end, no. I put the money elsewhere and have since been convinced that Altiverb 6 is closer to the bees knees of what I want. So that is on my 'sometime in June' shopping list!

If you want an L1 type limiter look at George Yohngs W1. Identical output, no money down :)

I've played with a lot of plugin verbs and the only one which does it for me is Altiverb, maybe Nebula also, but Altiverb is great.

McDsp, never liked them. Just my opinion.

I use MCDSP plugins, they are great. I only used ML4000, Filter Bank, Compressor Bank, the rest I can't comment.

I have some of the Massey Plug's. Really like them.

The only MCDSP plugin I have used is there DE555 de-esser which did what it was meant to very well.

Greetings Rick

Yep. Have been actually, Spall is the name and it's been on the bottom of my recent posts. Whilst I can sprinkle yellow magic dust on text for ease of read, I haven't figured out the signature thing yet. I'll do that shortly, no problem. Hope all is well.

Cheers,

Spall.

This is how you do it.
GO right up to the top of the screen and under the ©TURTLEROCK© banner click on profile.
In the profile section go about half way down the screen and you will see the "Signature" section on the left. Just type in your name and what ever else you like there, and it will now come up on all your posts.
Cheers
