Will change all that in a future update


Regarding RTAS: since AAX is still fairly new, it will be easier for me to first port DC8C to RTAS (at least I hope so).

Is the external sidechain AU only at the moment?
The 1.1 description seems to imply that it is both vst and au (with the au version being stereo only). I got it working in Logic and Live, but could not find any sidechain option when running the vst in Ableton Live 8, nor is there a separate sidechain version of the plugin as there is for the au version.
Im guessing the answer is that to implement external sidechain in the vst version, you'll first have to write a vst3 version.

External sidechaining does work with the vst2.4 version too. Just send a channel in the Live mixer to another with DC8C as an insert and you should see something like "sc input DC8C" as an option in the sends. If not, please send me a mail and I'll help you out. Internet connection is still a bit inconvenient in my new home, but I'll try my best to assist you.

Thanks, got it! Also understand now how to set it up in Live with 3rd party plugins, which I was finding a little confusing.

Thanks for the great update! I guess it always can happen after an update that someone likes the old way: I also like the previous style of meter behavior, in addition to the one now. Would it be easy enough to add a little button to toggle between the two?

Also, in Sonar 8.5 x64, I do not see a DC8C sidechain input available in my send destination list. Personally though I'm not concerned about it, because after this project I will be finding a new DAW, and I don't think I will be needing the sidechain in this project.

+1 for this. Also I like the way in The Glue you can assign the same OS setting to all instances (as well as specifying different settings for mixdown).

Hi all,
I've just updated DC8C.

Changes:

NEW: VST3 support (OSX/WIN 32&64bit)
NEW: External sidechaining in EASY mode
REMOVED: zero latency switch - DC8C is now always zero latency
FIX: MIX knob in easy mode is working now as expected
FIX: (OSX) flickering of the value displays, when moving a control

Tony

OH YEAH!!

Nice update !

Thank you Tony

I'm very interested in this, but some have suggested it uses more CPU than some others. Can anyone help me get a better handle on this ?

The CPU usage is fine as far as I'm concerned. I'm using it all over the place and for the price it's a no brainer for sure.

How do we get the update?
