The new comps won't have look ahead, but I'll add look ahead to DC8C. I want to integrate it in the "pre-attack" control. I just have to make up my mind how to do this without screwing up existing projects, that use DC8C already.

I am late on purchasing the DC8c2. I have all of the other offerings by Klanghelm. I purchased this the other day and am testing at the moment on various material. Its seems pretty good!!! Thought I would re-spark the thread and get some opinions on what they thought on the DC8C2. Are they still using this or have they replaced it with other comps? This thread has been dead for a while ?

Thanks Kindly

I hope it's not as hungry as mujc. The "jr" version was fine, but the full version is much hungrier. And forget about the HQ setting if you want to use it on several tracks

I'm still using DC8C regularly. It's still my main "shaper" compressor. If I need to exaggerate transients, DC8C can do it. If I need to clamp down on specific transients in a specific frequency range, DC8C comes to the resque. If I need to give a groove "more groove" DC8C does it as well.

I'd say it's time for you to get a new computer... :razz;

(of course you also shouldn't forget to switch to mono on mono-sources)

DC8C2 has been really low on CPU. it also low on my computer on the oversampling x4 or x8. I shouldn't say real low but workable is a better word. Mjuc on my system isn't that bad either. It also depends on your computer speed. I'm impressed so far.

Cheers for bumping this thread! I was considering the DC8C2 - I understand it has a Dbx160 preset... does it get pretty close to the usual suspects? Waves, NI, SKnote, ect...

Hi. I have request for DC8C.
First.

There should be automatically disable saturation when value is set to 0 at easy modes.
Saturation is alyways enabled and generates unwanted distortion when set at 0 on easy mode.

There should be more slots in easy mode - maybe complex mode and clean mode - or better.
Custom slots with rename from drop down menu where are located easy modes list.

I would like to see more options to control saturation and more knee modes - maybe even draw mode for knee option.

Klanghelm DC1A 2 (free) released & DC8C updated to V 2.1
