Klanghelm has released DC1A 3, a freeware compressor effect in VST, AU and AAX format for Windows and Mac.
An updated plugin, DC1A 3 features a number of improvements including a mix knob which allows the user to use the plugin as a parallel compressor without having to use a send channel in their DAW. The interface has also been slightly tweaked but the user-friendly design remains.
DC1A looks like a one trick pony. But don’t get fooled by the lack of additional controls. You may be surprised on how many different material this little thing works. DC1A has a few tricks up its sleeve: negative (over) compression, parallel (New York style) compression, option to compress left and right channel independently (via the DUAL MONO switch), peak and RMS compression (RELAXED switch on) and DEEP activates a high pass filter to reduce pumping on bass heavy material
So if you are looking for a great sounding yet simple compressor plugin for your DAW be sure to check out DC1A 3. Download the plugin for free via the link below.
