McPlugins — 4 compressors with inter-plugin shared memory sidechain (VST3/CLAP)

Hi everyone,

I just released McPlugins, a suite of 4 audio compressor plugins I've been building for the past couple of years.

The bundle includes Mc (single-band), McMsc (single-band + inter-plugin sidechain), MbMc (multiband, 1–6 bands) and MbMcMsc (multiband + inter-plugin sidechain). All 4 share the same compression engine with 6 emulation types: Optical, VCA, FET, Tube, Bus and Digital.

The feature I'm most proud of is the shared memory sidechain — McMsc and MbMcMsc can route audio sidechain between plugin instances across tracks without any DAW routing cables, using lock-free ring buffers in shared memory. Each band of MbMcMsc can receive a different sidechain source independently.

Built in C++ on iPlug2 with SIMD optimization (SSE/AVX2). Available as VST3 + CLAP on Windows and Linux, VST3 on macOS.

A free demo is available — full functionality with a brief mute every 30 seconds so you can evaluate properly before buying. Launch price is €19 until May 8th.
