Klanghelm DC8C advanced compressor v3.3.2

FULL INFO BELOW:

DC8C is one of the most flexible compressors around.
While making a lot of different compression styles possible, its 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.

DC8C Feature List

detector network and gain reduction smoothing for extra smooth operationchoose between two different attack and two release curvesfour different operational modes: NORMAL, CLEAN (100% clean compression with no intermodulation, no distortion, no aliasing), SMASH (ultrafast compression characteristics, almost clipper territory), LIMIT (use DC8C as a zero latency limiter)optional soft-clipper at the outputup to 8x oversamplingside-chain filter with high pass & low pass filter plus tilt control, which lets you shift the frequency response of the detectorthe saturation stage can be put freely into the signal chain: pre compression, post compression and side-chain onlythree different compression curves selectablecustomize the program dependency of the compressor separately for Attack and ReleaseGR-smoothing control to determine, how sensitive the compressor reacts to changes in the computed gain reduction, great to emulate opto-style compressionhold control, great for heavy pumping compression effectspre-attack control to delay the start of the attack to leave transients completely alone or radically shape the attackVU and peak meteringcalibration control not only to set the reference level for the VU-meter and the saturationunique Feedback-Mix-Control, which lets you determine, how much of the compressors output is fed back into the detector.
