Great quality, good price, no hassle with copy protection, great manual and lifetime updates.

I would feel bad not buying this, so I did.

TONY! this plugin is my favorite compressor EVER. i love this thing after trying this out i bought your meter to. love that to great work man the saturation is a very smooth one that i haven't heard in a while great job and your limiter is really nice i hope you get enough success to make more plugins with this quality in the future.

I'd like to check this compressor but I couldn't find a demo. Then I read at the FAQ page of the developer's site that he doesn't want to build and update demos. I understand and respect his reasons, unfortunately I can't give money for yet another compressor without being able to test it first. I know that the intro price is not really high but I've been spoiled with excellent free compressors like ReaComp etc.

Good for you.
In the meanwhile I am enjoying the best compressor I have had so far...

Oh, I'm very happy for you getting so much enjoyment from a compressor.

How about checking the free version and drawing your own conclusions after that? That's what I did, and boy, am I lucky that I did. I bought this thing instantly

DDMF's NYcomp and this are really two diamonds in the rough.

I understand that demos are a hassle for small developer, and also quite a big security threat, but with prices like these, I don't complain. And when I get freebies as good as DC1A, man, that's just five star marketing! IMHO of course.

Bottom line: if you like DC1A, you can't get wrong with it's big brother.

Thing is I didn't like the sound of DC1A when it was released, but after seeing the features of it's big brother I got curious because theoretically you could make it sound like anything you want. It would be a shame to have a bad opinion of DC8C only because I didn't like DC1A which essentially is just one preset.

Killer compressor! For mastering / buss it can be very clean but still "attitude" (i.e: attack and realese are ultra responsive)Better than (in my opinion) The Glue, Elysia Alpha or Sonoris Mastering Compressor. On a mix (tried just quickly on 7 or 8 tracks, the "3D" character it's impressive

I was just about to get The Glue, finally, but now I'm wondering about this. I too wish I could demo it. The smaller free version seemed good, but I wasn't really overwhelmed. Not that I've been overwhelmed with The Glue demo, but it seems to just work well and it has about a billion good reviews.

Can anyone who has used both talk about the differences a little?

Hi, I wrote this yesterday, and the more I use it, the more I'm impressed. The others I talked about (The Glue, Sonoris, etc...), sounds "sterille" in comparison (again, in my opinion). + it's a terrific compressor for mixing.

I have the Elysia Alpha, Voxengo Polysquasher and the DC8C all set up in a mastering job I'm doing.(I use The Glue a lot too but not in mastering situations, mainly when mixing, as I like ratios less than 2:1 when mastering)

Very interesting comparing the 3 together on stereo mix files.

Starting point : all 3 sound great.

In this job I'm really going for the most transparent sound I can get.
So using the DC8C in a clean, unsaturated way.

back to the test lab.

The Glue is nice but you get one type of compression and you pay 99 dollar. With DC8C you get four great sounding types of compression and you pay 20 euro.

Definitely thinking of getting this,esp with the no-brainer price!
Is it really comparable to The Glue?
