Klanghelm DC8C Description
DC8C is one the most versatile compressors available. It can be used in many different compression styles, but its general nature can be described as clear and distinct. The main goal while designing DC8C was to get a very clean compressor action without unwanted and often almost inevitable artifacts/distortion. This allows you to achieve almost invisible compression even for the most difficult mastering sessions. You can choose from two saturation models if you want to achieve color. Opto-style, peak compression and external side-chaining are all possible. You can also choose from feedback, feedforward, and negative ratios.

VladG Limiter No6
5 modules, RMS compressor, peak limiter, high-frequency limiter, clipper, true peak limiter. High-quality signal processing for mastering purposes. Brickwall and soft-limiting with different timing settings. M/S and multiband modes, optional 4-x oversampling. True inter-sample peak (ISP) limiting. Analog-style indicator, 2 different GUIs. Analog-style indicators can be used to indicate the signal limiting level in the corresponding module. Indicator scales are shown in dB format. The rightmost position is 0 dB signal limiting. Some host applications may have problems with the mouse wheel being used to change parameters. For Windows, the plugin window must be activated in order to use it. Click on the window header or any point in the background of the plugin to activate the window.

Klanghelm DC1A
DC1A is the smaller brother to the compression monster DC8C. I have taken some of my favorite settings from DC8C, and tried to make them work in a two-control context. It sounds similar to DC8C's PUNCH mode, but has a few more features such as stereo unlink and negative ratio. I have always wanted to make a compressor that only had an input and output knob. A compressor that works well, is gentle, faithful, and can do everything from smooth leveling to heavy pumping, with a nice crunchy saturation, and punchy enough for treating drums. DC1A seems like a one-trick pony. Don't be fooled by the absence of additional controls. It may surprise you at how well this little device can handle different materials. DC1A comes with a few tricks: negative (over), parallel (New York style), compression, the option to compress left or right channels independently (via DUAL MONO switch), peak compression (RELATED switch on) and DEEP activates high pass filters.
