Antelope Audio BAE-10DCF Compressor/Limiter Plug-in - Electronic Delivery

Antelope Audio BAE-10DCF Compressor/Limiter Plug-in originates from the end of the 1960s. Taking the best from a legendary line of broadcasting units, this stereo compressor has been turned into an extremely versatile processor. This official emulation of a classic vintage unit can be used as both a limiter and compressor. It features individual control over both components, with the limiter coming first in the signal chain. With dedicated knobs for Threshold, Ratio, Bypass Filter, Attack, and Recovery for both modules users can achieve enough depth when sculpting the perfect sound. BAE 10DCF allows you to keep compression transparent and smooth or completely transform the input signal into the signature vivid sound of the compressor. A Gain Make-up knob allows you to additionally control the signal volume. BAE 10DCF is a multi-purpose unit that can be used both during tracking or in post-production. As you can guess, it does an absolutely great job on an array of instruments like drums and percussion and is suitable for recordists, producers, and mastering engineers but podcasters and vloggers who need their voices polished and neatly produced as well.

SEPARATE COMPRESSOR AND LIMITER

The 10DCF features a fully independent Compressor and a separate Limiter providing maximum flexibility and dynamic control over any source and any type of material. Dynamic processors that offer such a variety of control are often clean and colorless. In contrast, the 10DCF offers that same versatility and control, but also character and color. They have carefully modeled the subtle harmonic distortion of the Carnhill & Jensen transformers that give BAE its iconic sound. Antelope Audio also recreated that same Bypass Filter inspired by the B182 card of a 1073. That is essentially an EQ filter using a Carnhill Inductior providing smooth, transparent, and musical filtering. In the case of the 10DCF, that filter acts as a side-chain to the compressor. That feature alone expands the versatility of the 10DCF to not only recording & mixing applications but also mastering.
