Analog Channel Native v7 Upgrade from v6 is the discounted path to the current version of McDSP's analog channel processor. Analog Channel reproduces the sound of classic analog console signal paths — the preamp and saturation behavior at the input along with the compression character associated with vintage desks. The point is not one specific console emulation but the general behaviour of analog circuitry: the way gain stages and transformers add harmonic content, soften transients, and impart a sense of depth. That makes it useful as a front-end coloration tool on individual tracks, and equally as a bus processor where a group needs cohesion and analog weight. It suits drums, guitars, bass, vocals, and full mixes, and is commonly used in place of a signal chain of separate saturation and compression plugins. The Native edition runs on macOS and Windows in AAX Native, AU, and VST3 formats, with the HD edition adding AAX DSP.
