McDSP ML4000 Mastering Limiter Native v7 combines precise peak control with flexible multiband dynamics for mixing, mastering, post-production, and live sound. The package includes two plugins: ML1, a brick-wall look-ahead mastering limiter, and ML4, a four-band dynamics processor feeding the same limiter algorithm. ML1 pairs multistage limiting with Knee and Mode controls to move from transparent level management to a more aggressive response. ML4 adds independently configurable gates, upward or downward expanders, and compressors across four frequency bands, with linking available for coordinated adjustments. Steep 24 dB/octave crossovers help keep processing focused, while real-time meters and frequency-response displays make changes easy to monitor. Output ceiling control supports straightforward final-level adjustment. It suits producers who want a dedicated mastering limiter alongside deeper control over dynamics in individual frequency ranges. This is the Native edition, not the AAX DSP version.
