Klanghelm has released DC8C 2. This is a major update and includes many improvements, changes and also a few new features:
- Binary name changed to DC8C2.
- New plugin ID -> version 1.x and 2.x can be used together.
- NEW: preset browser.
- NEW: a third main operational mode (besides NORMAL and CLEAN) called SMASH for very fast compression action.
- NEW: three transfer curve SHAPES now: SOFT, NOSE, SPIKE.
- NEW: position of the saturation can be set to pre compression, sidechain only, post compression.
- CHANGE: new oversampling: DC8C now clearly benefits from oversampling (and additional processing inside the oversampling).
- CHANGE: reworked saturation modes.
- CHANGE: CRUSH style is now based on the new SMASH operational mode.
- CHANGE: new GUI.
- CHANGE: RANGE control uses a finer resolution for lower settings.
- FIX: initialization issues in the VST3 version.
The update is free for all existing DC8C users. It costs 20 € for new customers and is available for Windows and Mac OS X in VST2, VST3, AU and RTAS plug-in formats.
