DC1A is the little brother of the compression monster DC8C. I've taken a few of my favorite settings from DC8C and tried to make it work in a two control context. Sound wise it's comparable to the PUNCH mode in DC8C but offers a few additional features, such as negative ratio and stereo unlink. I've always wanted to do a compressor with just an input and output knob, a compressor that just works, gentle, faithful, from almost invisible, smooth leveling to heavy pumping with a nice crunchy saturation and punchy enough to treat drums with. 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.

iZotope's Plasma is an innovative audio plugin that enhances your sound with adaptive tube saturation. Unlike traditional saturators that apply a static effect, Plasma's Flux saturation technology analyzes your audio and applies dynamic processing, adding precise warmth, depth, and character to your mixes and masters. It offers 24 target profiles tailored for various audio elements, from drums and vocals to full masters, allowing you to guide the saturation effect effectively. With intuitive attack and release settings, an overdrive fader for added intensity, and frequency handles to boost specific frequency ranges, Plasma provides comprehensive control over your sound. Channel modes enable enhancement of the center of your mix or widening of the stereo field, as well as shaping the attack and tail of your sound for more precise control. The plugin includes 49 custom-built presets, offering quick starting points for different vibes, whether bright, deep, balanced, or warm.
