Key Features
The McDSP ML8000 Advanced Limiter Native is an intelligent, multi-band limiter that uses two separate gain stages for immaculate peak level adjustment. The next-generation of limiter technology, the ML8000 lets you dial in individual settings for each of the eight frequency bands in order to tailor your limiting for the instrument, group or mix within your projects. Featuring adjustable frequency bands via the graph, solo and mute, faders and threshold meters per-band, you have complete control over your signal. Going one step further, McDSP ML8000 offers a 'Mode' and 'Focus' control per-band to tailor how your plug-in reacts to your incoming signal, allowing you to shape and sculpt your sound even further.
Ideal for a wide range of applications, the ML8000 is the perfect partner for the modern mixing and mastering engineer. Using audio-optimised algorithms, you can enjoy a natural and transparent level of limiting that is perfect for adding punch and energy to fast and upbeat music as well as taming transients for individual instruments such as vocals or drum shells. With both stereo and mono versions available, you will be able to cater the ML8000 to your sound source to best match the output for the perfect result, every time. Versatile and packed full of features, the ML8000 Advanced Limiter is the last limiter plug-in you need and will quickly become your go-to in your studio.

Most commonly, a limiter will be used during the final stages of production and mastering within your project to determine a maximum signal level that is strictly adhered to. With ML8000, controlling the dynamics of a full mix when in the mastering stage of your productions is simple and easy. Based on a multi-band design of eight bands, you can set different threshold levels for different frequency bands within your mix, allowing you to set the maximum signal levels individually. Where traditional limiters may result in the "pumping" effect when pushed hard because of low-end information within your EQ curve, with the ML8000 you can tailor your low-end to react differently to the rest of your frequency bands to avoid any over-compression or "pumping".
When working with extremely dynamic mixes, ML8000 provides you with a 'Snap' function that lets you automate the threshold level against the input signal by using a comprehensive look-ahead function to provide you with the most transparent and natural-sounding limiting possible for your tracks and mix.
Perfectly suited to a myriad of genres, ML8000 is extremely transparent with an exceptional transient retention system. Whether you're looking to add punch to an active radio-rock track or looking to provide balance and cohesion to a stripped back acoustic performance, the ML8000 will deliver what you need.
Not only is the ML8000 Advanced Limiter ideal for mastering, but it also poses an ideal solution for affecting individual tracks. Both stereo and mono versions of the plug-in are available so you're not limited to what instruments you can process with ML8000. With a comprehensive set of controls including Knee, Release, Threshold as well as a "Mode" and "Focus" control, you are able to control the dynamics of individual tracks to create a predictable signal level that will provide consistency within your mix.
Thanks to the multi-band design of the ML8000 Advanced Limiter, even the most dynamic of instruments such as the human voice can be controlled with maximum flexibility. Target specific frequency bands and manage the plosive sounds of your vocal performance to create a smooth and consistent performance that will fit into your mix perfectly.
