McDSP is excited to be shipping the all-new DC-2 plug-in for the APB!
The DC-2 is a dual channel dual compressor. Two independent fully programmable compressors can be placed in series or in parallel (split) processing modes, and mixed with a dedicated balance control. Several compression models are available including FET, VCA, and Optical derived algorithms that operate entirely in the analog domain. Each compressor has its own side chain filter, programmable knee shape, peak and rms modes, and auto release. Two bands of EQ can be placed pre or post each analog compressor. The last stage of processing is a fully customizable saturation section. The DC-2 offers independent (or linked) control of the left/right or mid/side channels. Visual feedback includes metering of input, output, and each dual compressor on each channel, along side signal flow and compression curve displays.
Feature List:
• Dual analog compression in series or parallel (split) configurations
• Analog compression models for FET, VCA, and Optical designs
• Programmable Knee shape, Peak and RMS modes, side chain filter shapes,
and auto release
• Dual channel operation and mid/side processing options
• Double precision digital equalizer (pre or post analog stages)
• Sample accurate automation of analog processing
The DC-2 Dual Compressor, like other APB plug-ins, comes free for all registered APB users. You can download the installer for the DC-2 and the latest APB plug-in update at https://mcdsp.com/apb/apb-downloads/
