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 inevitable artifacts/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 color you can choose between two saturation models.
From opto-style, peak compression, external side-chaining, RMS compression, Feedback, Feedforward compression (and everything in-between) to negative ratios, zero latency brick-wall limiting, from snappy transient treatment to smooth transient rounding - everything is possible.
Just curious... I wonder what the name refers to this time - SDRR stood for Sex&Drugs&RocknRoll, DC8C is certainly a reference to AC/DC... and MJUC...? (Michael Jackson's Ultimate Compressor? Michael Jordan's Unlimited Ceiling? Michelangelo's Just Unbelievably Creative? Mega Joule Underpowered Compensator? Most Journalists Underrate Cooking? ...)
Hi all,
I've just released major updates for the compression monster DC8C and its free little brother DC1A.

I'd get it, but it doesn't seem to have any side-chain, so it would probably see little use for me as it's likely to compete with my Klanghelm DC8C for what I'd use it for. That might come later, but even so.
