PSP DRC
Dynamic Range Controller!
PSP DRC is a powerful new dynamic processor plug-in inspired by the legendary DBX 118. With a fresh perspective on the classic concept, PSP DRC offers advanced processing capabilities that are seldom found in contemporary hardware or software, making it an essential tool for modern music production.
While the PSP DRC draws inspiration from the DBX 118, it is not a direct emulation of the original hardware. Instead, it re-imagines and expands upon the original concept, incorporating additional features to enhance its utility in various audio processing scenarios. This unique approach allows users to harness both compression and expansion across the entire dynamic range of the signal. Additionally, the processor can isolate and handle signals above or below the threshold, providing a more refined level of control.
PSP DRC also introduces a complementary compressor-expander pair function, which can be achieved by setting the Ratio to 2:1 in the compressor and down to 1:2 in the expander. The inclusion of advanced side chain features and external side chain support further elevates PSP DRC’s capabilities, transforming it into a comprehensive compander system.
Intro offer:
Until June 3rd PSP DRC will be offered at the special introductory price of $69. Starting from June 4th PSP DRC regular price $99 will be applied.

I miss my old blackface DBX comps... but PSP has cured that regret with the PSP DRC. Imagine having that 1976 VCA mojo - now with adjustable attack, release, HP sidechain, mix control, and perfect saturation that captures the exciting sound of those units - without the noise (which could be a problem) or being tied to a strict hardware clone. And if you need it - there’s expansion too. I love using PSP DRC on vocals, but honestly, I haven’t found anything it doesn’t sound great on. I really like this one.

I’ve used PSP DRC in a mix I’m currently working on with electric metal guitars, and it’s stunning! It brought out more articulation in both the chords and the picking parts.

What a unique and musically useful dynamics processor. The compressor is wonderful, but I particularly love using the expander to get some extra oomph in my mix.
In order to run PSP DRC in 30-day trial mode or activate it, you need an iLok user ID which you can create for free at www.ilok.com, and you need to install the free iLok License Manager application but you don't need any hardware dongle.
