VST Plugins / Audio Soft
20-07-2021
Ultra clean peak compressor/limiter with punchy attack, musical release, and optional lookahead smoothing, for tracks or busses. Zero/low latency and low CPU.
■ Fast or same-sample attack times that never sound "clicky", even in zero latency mode
■ Even cleaner than Fircomp 1. Both can be used side-by-side
■ Innovative digital envelope detection allows for much lower distortion than typical peak compressors, without overshoot or lag
■ Optional lookahead FIR gain smoothing for an even cleaner sound
■ Shape-able release stage with musical, highly history-dependent behaviour. Avoids use of multiple compressors in series!
■ Sidechain hipass filter and external sidechain ability
■ Easy stereo options with stereo link and balance
■ Mid / side processing mode
■ Perceived loudness metering, with easy makeup gain and balance snapping
■ Switchable vertical or horizontal gain reduction metering, with adjustable range
■ Quick loading of presets, bucket comparison system
■ Make it yours, with a resizable GUI, customizable colours and background image!
■ Low CPU, fully 64-bit DSP code, making full use of SSE instructions. Insert on every track without a second thought!
■ Zero latency with lookahead off. With lookahead on, compensated latency of 1.5ms
■ No phase shift or change in frequency response of the audio signal
Change log:
Released a small update to fircomp 2 today, with some minor improvements, and a new "coupled peak" mode which is a slight variation of the standard mode

DC8C is one of the most flexible compressors around.
While making a lot of different compression styles possible, it's general nature may be described as: clear, smooth, open, distinct.
The main goal while designing DC8C was to get a very clean compressor action without unwanted and often almost inevitable artifacts/distortion. This way you can achieve almost invisible compression for your most demanding mastering sessions, when you want to avoid coloration.
If you aim for color you can choose between two saturation models.
From opto-style, peak compression, external side-chaining, RMS compression, Feedback, Feedforward compression (and everything in-between) to negative ratios, zero latency brick-wall limiting, from snappy transient treatment to smooth transient rounding - everything is possible.
