Product Overview
McDSP 6050 is the ultimate channel strip containing over 25 custom configurable modules that will transform the way you mix and process your audio, making your mixes sound great. Let studio guru Michael Costa explain and explore this great studio tool before your very eyes!
Michael begins by showing you how McDSP’s previous plug-ins lead to the McDSP 6050 and demystifies the new 6050 interface and basic controls of the various modular plug-ins.
With the basics covered, Michael dives in with the iX Expander, a versatile downward expander, then demonstrates the FRG-X Expander, which offers both downward and upward expansion. That leads into a description of the three saturation modules, followed by explanations and demonstrations of the MEF 1 and E404 filter modules, which compliment each other in great ways.
With the modules covered, Michael now explores Sidechaining and Keying and reveals how to get creative with the McDSP 6050, using Sidechaning to trigger and tune these processors and make some sonic special sauce!

Great, but not yet complete
For what it covers, this is a great course. It's a good overview of the strip itself. For the modules it covers, it really helps you understand each one. However - be warned, it does NOT cover anything except the new saturation and gate modules included with 6050. It's unclear if you're supposed to watch another course in addition to this one, or wait for them to continue adding content to this course. Regardless, it's not a complete overview of 6050 - not by any stretch. Most modules are NOT covered in depth. Love the presenter, very easy to understand what he's saying; it's easy to "get" it.
