What NR800 Native v7 Is For
NR800 Native v7 is a noise reduction plugin designed to clean an audio signal in real time, without adding internal latency. It is aimed both at producers and mixers who want to make takes cleaner, and at sound editors and post-production engineers who need to reduce constant or fluctuating noises. In a live sound context, it improves the intelligibility and perceived quality of a voice or microphone source while maintaining a smooth and responsive workflow.
Main Features
Pre-filtering for More Musical Processing
Before even applying noise reduction, NR800 includes a HPF (high-pass filter) and a LPF (low-pass filter). This step is essential to exclude unnecessary spectral areas (sub-bass, extreme highs) and avoid over-processing parts of the signal that add nothing musically. The result: cleaner, more natural reduction that is often easier to adjust.
8 "Focusable" Bands: Precision and Control
The core of NR800 relies on eight noise reduction bands allowing you to focus action where noise is most present. This zone-based approach offers great finesse: you can enhance cleaning on a specific band while preserving the body of a voice, the attack of a guitar, or the clarity of dialogue. It is particularly effective on typical background noises (hiss, air conditioning, broadband hum, room ambiances) that do not always occupy the entire spectrum uniformly.
Reduction Modes and "Bias": Adapting Response to Context
NR800 offers noise reduction modes and a noise reduction bias control to adjust the processing behavior. The goal is to choose a relevant compromise between effectiveness and transparency depending on your source: spoken voice, singing, acoustic instruments, field recordings, or mix buses. Combined with range (global reduction range) and response (processing response) controls, these settings facilitate reduction that is both firm and controlled, without a squashed feeling.
Snap Gain and Snap Threshold: Quick Setup
To speed up workflow, NR800 includes Snap Gain and Snap Threshold, designed to quickly achieve a coherent starting point. These functions allow faster calibration of essential parameters, a real advantage when processing many tracks, working under time constraints, or performing live. You then retain control over the reduction level and character of the processing to fine-tune by ear.
McDSP Award-Winning Engineering
Developed with McDSP award-winning engineering (Emmy Award-winning engineering), NR800 Native v7 aims for reliable, production-oriented processing designed to integrate naturally into modern sessions, from music creation to post-production.

Questions frequently asked
Does McDSP NR800 Native operate without latency?
The noise reduction processing happens in real time, with no added internal latency, allowing responsive use in a production or live sound workflow.
How does NR800 Native handle hiss and background noise?
Eight noise reduction bands focus the action on the relevant frequency areas. Noises such as hiss, air conditioning, or certain room ambiences can thus be attenuated without treating the entire spectrum uniformly.
Which settings help preserve a voice during noise reduction?
A high-pass filter and a low-pass filter exclude unnecessary zones before processing. The Range, Response, and Noise Reduction Bias controls then adjust the intensity and behavior of the reduction. The eight bands allow targeting the noise while preserving the body of the voice or the clarity of dialogue.
Are the Snap Gain and Snap Threshold functions used for quick adjustment?
These two functions provide a quick starting point to set gain and processing threshold before fine-tuning the reduction parameters.
Is NR800 Native compatible with Mac and Windows?
Mac compatibility covers macOS 10.13 High Sierra to macOS 14 Sonoma, with macOS 10.12 Sierra potentially working without official support. On Windows, Windows 10 is supported.
