DC8C is a software compressor plugin.

This program is designed to provide a clean compressor action without unwanted distortion and artifacts. It comes with two saturation models if you need it to color your sound. It features opto style, external sidechaining, peak compression, RMS compression, Feedback, Feedforward compression and everything inbetween. You can also do negative ratios, zero latency brickwall limiting, snappy transient treatment and smooth transient rounding.
