Must have McDSP plug ins! and more.

[zak7]

Hi everybody! I have the Massive Pack 5 plus UAD-1 most of the plugs!
So I was thinking to buy some new plug ins ..I have an HD accell 2 system.
So my question is:
Which McDSP plug ins are a must have? I just want to buy the unique/best McDSP plug ins...no what other plug ins can do too.


Any other great recommendation?

Analog Channel
Channel G
ML4000
MC2000

Those are my can't live without McDSP plugs. The other one is SoundToys Echoboy. Incredible.

I use and really like Compressorbank, Filterbank, MC2000 and Analog Channel.
What does Channel G bring to the table?
Also, I requested the demo for ML4000, but didn't check the system requirements.
Haven't been able to try it, since I'm still on 10.3.9
I'm gonna ask for a new demo-period later, but how does it compare to the Sony limiter or the Massey?

Channel G comes in 3 plugs: EQ, Dynamics and Console (which is basically both the EQ and Dynamics).
I was rather sceptical about the sound of these initially as i was experimenting mainly with the console plugin. I found the presets to be rather un-useful, however i have changed my mind,
If you havent got a large console, (neve/ssl etc) but would quite like to experience that big board analog sound, then try inserting the EQ plugin onto a track, and set the emulation type to "N". (Neve).
This appears to add an awful lot of warmth and richness considering.
There is also an "E" and "G" setting for the SSL E & G series desk sound.
Whilst im sure these are not "exactly" like owning your own expensive desk, they do appear to provide a flavour which is not easily achieved purely by the use of plugins
