Description

Original Vintage Style Designs
Retro plug-ins are originally styled and designed for the ultimate vintage audio vibe.

Retro plug-ins are designed for the ultimate vintage vibe, using new and original designs based on McDSP's decade of industry experience.  Retro plug-ins are a line of "classics" that can live up to their own name without emulating something else.

All Retro plug-ins use a McDSP designed output stage topology to eliminate digital clipping at any output level and produce a smoother distortion characteristic.  This feature is in addition to the analog saturation modeling that has made McDSP famous over the last decade.

  • Unique original algorithms with transparent yet vintage sound
  • Variable slope filtering
  • Variable Q/slope Shelving and Parametric EQ
  • Anti-Clip Output Stage Topology
  • Analog Saturation Modeling
  • Double Precision Processing
  • Ultra Low Latency
  • Mono and Stereo versions

4020 Retro EQ - Vintage EQ
The 4020 Retro EQ is a four-band EQ and complimentary filter set.   The HF and LF bands are shelving EQ, with two additional parametric EQs at the HMF and LMF bands.  All EQ bands operate on a unique gain dependent variable slope/Q system for a vintage smooth sound and increased boost/cut frequency selectivity high gains.  The HPF and LPF filters use a unique split-octave design giving a 12 dB/Oct slope near the selected frequency, and a maximum slope of 24 dB/Oct.

4030 Retro Compressor - Vintage Compressor
The 4030 Retro Compressor is a new dynamic range control topology coupled with a wet/dry mix control to balance compressed and uncompressed signals.  An active attack and release design allows aggressive compression settings with minimal artifact generation.

4040 Retro Limiter - Vintage Limiter
The 4040 Retro Limiter combines a look-ahead brick wall limiter function with several subjective treatments to make the limiting action subtle, and yet vintage.

    MCDSP Retro Pack Native V7 – Vintage Warmth Meets Modern Precision

    ⭐ 4.8/5

    Pros:

    ✔ Authentic analog emulation – Faithfully recreates classic hardware warmth (6060 Module, 670 Compressor, etc.).

    ✔ Versatile processing – Ideal for mixing & mastering (compression, EQ, saturation).

    ✔ Low CPU hit – Runs smoothly even on dense sessions.

    ✔ Modern tweaks – Adds useful features like oversampling and sidechain.

    Cons:

    ❌ Steep learning curve – Requires some analog-style workflow knowledge.

    ❌ Pricey – Not the cheapest, but worth it for pros.

    Verdict:

    A must-have for engineers craving that "tape-and-tube" vibe without sacrificing modern control. The 6060 EQ alone is worth the price for surgical yet musical shaping.

    Best for: Mixing/mastering engineers, producers of rock/jazz/hip-hop.
