McDSP MC2000 Multi-Band Compressor v7 is a professional multi-band dynamics processor software plugin developed by McDSP. Renowned for its pristine audio quality and flexible routing, it allows mixing and mastering engineers to independently control dynamic range across separate frequency bands. It is widely used across hip-hop, Afrobeats, pop, rock, EDM, and mastering for tightening low-end sub-bass, taming harsh upper-mid frequencies, smoothing out vocal sibilance, and gluing complex drum buses or full mix masters.

The plugin features flexible multi-band configurations, allowing users to select 2-, 3-, or 4-band operation to conserve DSP/CPU footprint when full four-band processing isn't required. Each band offers full parametric control over ratio, attack, release, threshold, and makeup gain, along with adjustable steepness switches (12 dB/octave or 24 dB/octave slopes) for crossover networks. Key v7 features include Bite controls (for maintaining transient clarity during heavy compression), analog saturation modeling per band, sidechain support, linkable stereo modes, high-definition real-time metering, and native support for modern high-resolution displays. MC2000 v7 operates in 64-bit VST3, AU, and AAX Native/DSP formats for Windows (10/11) and macOS (with native Apple Silicon and Intel support).
