Klangheim DC1A
Platform/format: PC, Mac/VST, AU Download
This is a stripped back version of Klangheim's new DC8C compressor, and aims to give you the sound of its Punch mode with just input and output controls. The theory is that it 'just works', giving you everything from transparent, smooth levelling to heavy pumping.
Tek'it Audio Genobazz 2
Platform/format: PC/VST Download
