REVIVE CLASSIC DYNAMICS WITH MODERN POWER!
PSP DRC is a dynamic processor audio plugin that delivers the perfect blend of vintage character and modern flexibility. Inspired by the legendary DBX 118, PSP DRC goes far beyond traditional compression — offering both compression and expansion capabilities that can completely reshape the dynamics of your mix.
Whether you’re tightening up a vocal, adding energy to your drum bus, or smoothing out a full mix, PSP DRC is your go-to dynamics tool. With its smooth, musical response and intuitive layout, it’s ideal for everything from subtle control to bold, creative sound shaping.
PSP DRC doesn’t just emulate vintage gear — it redefines it. The plugin introduces a unique complementary compressor-expander pair mode. Set the compressor to a 2:1 ratio and the expander to 1:2, and you’ve got a powerful compander system that works seamlessly for noise reduction, transient control, or adding punch to any source.
With advanced internal and external sidechain support, PSP DRC gives you full creative freedom. Duck bass under kick drums, shape vocals in a dense mix, or trigger dynamic effects based on another track — all with precision control.
Designed for both studio pros and producers on the go, PSP DRC’s interface is clean, responsive, and fun to use. The real-time metering, smart gain staging, and powerful sidechain filtering make it easy to get professional results fast, whether you’re mastering a track or sculpting a snare.
If you’re looking for a dynamics plugin that combines old-school vibe with future-ready features, PSP DRC is the answer. From subtle warmth to full-throttle punch, it’s a must-have in any serious mixing or mastering toolkit.
