Free compressor from FXpansion on offer!

[zardak]

Anyone needing a free 'quality' compressor may wish to know that FXpansion are giving away DCam at the moment, which is one component of their latest bundle on offer; it is an analog modelled compressor which apparently is also designed to be capable of being strapped over the stereo-out with good results. I must say, after several weeks of use it is the one i go to for some reason, it sounds nice and is capable of pushing high volume; i did the A/B thang with some big name compressors, and well hey, it seems there is no need to be paying for things like UAD etc because it sounds every bit as good as any other so-called big-name compressor out there.
Also if you want a range of other quality but cheap plugin compressors and EQ's, Minimalsystems has got a high-quality range on offer at very cheap prices.

This thread is for those who appreciate quality free plugins. Put it this way, i have tried quite a few free compressors which don't always sound top-notch, but between DCam, plus the Antress 'modern-compressor' and the 'Classic-compressor' included in Mixcraft, you will be pretty much sorted. Good-luck.

I dont know what the buzz is all about, This has been a free VST as long as I have been aware. Whatever, how many free compressors does one need?
Anyway, heres the link:

After re-reading it, I realize that came across rather harsh. Apologies to all. I guess theres more than one "grouchy old man" around here.

I just feel it is best to discourage the "collecting" of VST's, as tempting as freebies can be. In the end, I feel having so many choices is a detraction and distraction, not an improvement or opportunity. In the end, the best ones are the ones you are comfortable using and experienced with, and most people are likely to find they use just a handful, and scrolling through a hundred choices isnt helpful.

Just one guys opinion, do what works for you!

I like to try vst's like new flavors of gum, but if they don't impress me I remove them within a couple minutes. This one didn't impress, the classic compressor works better.
