BAE-10DCF

BAE-10DCF is an official emulation of a versatile 1980s compressor, equally at home delivering clean, transparent dynamics or colorful vintage character. It pairs a fully independent compressor and limiter, each with dedicated Threshold, Ratio, Attack, and Recovery controls, so you can shape anything from gentle glue to hard limiting. A Carnhill inductor-based bypass filter, inspired by the 1073’s B182 card, acts as a sidechain for musical, transparent filtering. Two program-dependent automatic recovery settings let you tailor response to different genres and dynamic material. Use it on drums and percussion for punch, on vocals and guitars for smooth polish, or in mastering for precise dynamic control. It suits recordists, producers, and mastering engineers, as well as podcasters and vloggers who want a professionally finished voice. The gain make-up knob gives extra output level control.
