MD4 HD - Hi-Res Multiband Dynamics

MD4 HD NATIVE MULTIBAND DYNAMICS

EQ, versatile 5-band Compressor and True-Peak Limiter

A Modern Classic

Originally launched in 1999 and available in Music, Mastering, Broadcast and Film variants, TC Electronic's Flagship System 6000 processor is recognized as an industry standard for mix, mastering and post-production applications. You will find System 6000 in literally thousands of world-leading recording, film, post and mastering studios all over the world, and in quite a few OB vans and broadcast production studios as well. The platform has won no less than three of the prestigious TEC Awards over the years: in 2000 for the original System 6000, in 2005 for Mastering 6000 and in 2010 for System 6000 MKII. No longer the preserve of the recording elite, these native DAW plugins will deliver all of the performance of the iconic original unit combined with modern day convenience.

A Legend Re-imagined

TC Electronic set about re-imagining the legendary System 6000 as native DAW Plug-ins without sacrificing any performance, character or useability. The Danish engineers, including many from the original System 6000 team, refined audio quality whilst staying faithful to the original hardware version. The development team fastidiously re-engineered these new native plug-ins to offer full support for standard DAW automation and project recall with new optimized user interface ergonomics.

Iconic Features

Available for the first time as a plugin for DAW based productions, TC Electronic MD4 HD NATIVE plug-in is tailormade for music and sound production in all forms. The MD4 HD NATIVE is the most transparent high-definition dynamics processor ever made for your DAW featuring a flexible 6-band EQ, 5-band compressor, soft clipping and a newly optimized true-peak limiter.

Highly Versatile

MD4 HD NATIVE features four different highly versatile compression types – normal/downward, parallel/upward, the truly unique parallel stereo-unlinked mode and details focused DXP mode that allows you to lift up low-level detail individually in each band without touching precious transients. MD4 HD NATIVE offers full dynamics control of each of the 5 bands and with ability to choose compression of RMS, Peak or anything in between.

Flexible Use

MD4 HD NATIVE operates in stereo and true mid/side processing, includes EQ unlinking, rare artifact-free split and recombination crossover filter banks. MD4 HD NATIVE is for the highly critical ear. It is perfectly suited for any demanding mastering job and is also equally suitable for use for a wide variety of content material in music and post-production, ideal for single sources, buses and master mixes.
