A dynamics processor inspired by the legendary DBX 118 that enables both compression and expansion across the entire dynamic range.

PSP DRC is not a direct emulation of the original hardware; instead, it reimagines and expands the concept of the DBX 118 with additional features. The processor can isolate and handle signals above or below the threshold, providing a more refined level of control. Setting the ratio to 2:1 in the compressor and 1:2 in the expander creates a complementary compressor-expander pair. Advanced sidechain features with external sidechain support turn PSP DRC into a comprehensive compander system for mixing and mastering.
