McDSP 6060 Ultimate Module Collection
SHINE
Although the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) is relatively new,
the use of an AI-based computer model to synthesize new
algorithms has been around for a long time. The SHINE module
uses such an AI based approach to approximate some McDSP
engineered frequency curves.
The AI topology used in the SHINE module is derived from the
transfer function of a transformer. But instead of simply trying
to reproduce the incoming signal accurately at the output (ie
transform it), McDSP engineering applied some tone bending
savvy and came up with 2 modes and 2 lift curves per mode for some interesting
high-shelf-like polish for incoming audio signals … aka ‘Shine’!!
GC-1
Gate and Compressor are often combined, so why not put both
into a single module? Lo the GC-1 is born!
Use the Gate section to remove room tone or unwanted
background noise. There is up to 48 dB of rejection provided by
the Range control, and an extra fast response characteristic can
be enabled with the FAST button. There is also a preset hold
time enable by the HOLD button.
The Comp section takes the output of the Gate and applies
some dynamic range control. The compressor in the GC-1 is the
only compressor that offers an Auto attack/release mode.
The GC-1 is great for a snare or kick that has too much room tone but also needs to
be squashed and then turned up. The GC-1 is also suitable for vocals, and plenty of
other acoustic instruments where you don’t really want to hear all of what has been
recorded!
