MCChannel
A full channel strip. One window.
Its four-band equalizer draws inspiration from 1960s and 1970s analog consoles, with gain-dependent bandwidth and independent LOW/HIGH BELL/SHELF modes. MCChannel is an autonomous stereo channel strip: saturation, filters, soft gate, four-band Vintage Console EQ, compression, de-esser and multiband noise reduction. MCPlugins combines adapted Airwindows DSP with its own EQ and final-output Auto Gain.

Four-band equalizer inspired by 1960s and 1970s analog consoles. ±12 dB per band.
- LOW: 30–400 Hz, independent BELL / SHELF switch.
- LO MID : 150–2500 Hz.
- HI MID : 800–8000 Hz.
- HIGH: 2000–16000 Hz, independent BELL / SHELF switch.
Bandwidth evolves with gain.
VST2, VST3 and CLAP for Windows, macOS and Linux. Audio Units (AU) for macOS Intel and Apple Silicon.
Version 0.7.0
- Vintage Console EQ with independent HIGH and LOW BELL/SHELF switches.
- Click the DSP LED to bypass all processing.
- The matching Auto Gain LED starts a short measurement, then locks the correction until a setting changes; hover for help.
How to use it
- Insert MCChannel on a track or bus.
- Set EQ gains from −12 to +12 dB and frequencies in Hz, then adjust saturation and dynamics in context.
- Click the DSP LED for global bypass and raw input. Auto Gain measures briefly, then locks its correction until the next setting change.

Questions & answers
Does it emulate a specific hardware console?
No. The interface evokes a studio console, but MCChannel is an MCPlugins composition of adapted Airwindows DSP and a calibrated MCPlugins EQ.
Are all controls in physical units?
EQ uses dB and Hz, filters use Hz, and DRIVE provides a compensated 0–24 dB gain.
Is the noise reduction AI restoration?
No. DeNoise is a multiband gate. It uses neither AI nor a learned spectral noise profile.
Are Standard and Metal both included?
Yes. Every purchase includes both finishes for all four platforms. They use the same DSP and can coexist.
