after more than six months of development DC8C is finally available. 
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 unevitable artefacts/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 colour you can choose between two saturation models. DC8C offers some features, you probably haven't seen yet in a compressor, for instance: morphing between FeedForward and FeedBack compression characteristics. PRE COMP control to delay the attack stage. This way you can leave transients 100% intact. a zero latency brickwall limiting mode. tweakable program dependency for both attack AND release times. if you're not in the mood for tweaking, DC8C offers an additional EASY mode, which lets you get results which just a few controls. EASY mode has 4 different compression styles to choose from. From opto style, peak compression, RMS compression, Feedback, Feedforward compression (and everything inbetween) to negative ratios, zero latency brickwall limiting, from snappy transient treatment to smooth transient rounding - everything is possible. For sound examples, charts, manual go to http://www.Klanghelm.com/DC8C.html DC8C costs 20€ (intro offer lasts at least until the end of march). Thanks for reading Tony nice compressor, kudos.. One thing though, why doesn't the oversampling switch affect the input saturation?? I'd really like it if it oversampled the saturation stage as well, especially the "RED" mode.. |

Has anyone been able to compare this to the Glue? ---- Orion Platinum, Muzys 2 |

not decided yet. but it won't be THAT much more.  |

Is oversampling linear-phase? |

Finally had a play last night.
This is nice sounding plugin that can do stuff none of my other compressors can. Will probably be my new "go to" compessor 
This is a very creative tool. I love the interface too, some nice touches that arent obvious ---- Just face it, you have no idea how to use the software youve just bought |

the oversampling itself doesn't alter the phase. but the filter is not linear phase. I opted against it for various reasons, two of them being latency & cpu cycles. I've implemented the oversampling just for completeness sake. DC8C is built in a way that OS is not needed since aliasing and such are avoided and not suppressed. that's why the oversampling has VERY little work to do

Is there such a thing as too many compressors? (I'm into the 'boutique' genre myself.) I believe this one belongs in my collection.  |

Took the plunge, got this and VUMT...thank you Tony of Klanghelm and thanks to Mr.Tax Refund. The price-to-quality ratio is crazy. Good day- |

I'm planning to add a custom preset system to my plugins in the next months. Then you will be able to do this. Until then, you can use your host to save new presets. |
