D1

If you've ever struggled to choose the best compressor setting due to compression restrictions, D1 might be the solution for you. Unlike other compressors, D1 allows you to determine the ideal compression setting by using its zone and zone gain control. This means that you can break up audio levels into zones and treat them differently according to their specific needs.

In addition to its unique zone feature, D1 also visualizes compression in a way that is not commonly seen. Rather than transfer curves, the compression is displayed in a graphic equalizer style that shows how audio levels are concentrated. This feature provides critical information for compression efforts and allows you to make intelligent choices about how to affect the dynamics of your audio.

Other features of D1 include processing capabilities up to 192 kHz, support for mono or stereo audio, automatic gain compensation, and input/output cloud and peak hold meters with over indicators. The interface is interactive and user-friendly, allowing you to control compression with ratio, attack, and release sliders. Additionally, D1 supports parameter automation and can be used as a VST, Audio Unit (AU), or RTAS plugin.

Overall, D1 offers a fresh take on compression that is both intuitive and informative. With its unique zone feature and visual display, D1 provides the information needed for total control over audio dynamics.
