Any new thoughts about the audio samples posted for this? Is this piece one to get? I really wish the audio samples were chosen better. Midi drum loops, metal guitars, the acoustic is, well, not sure I'd even call that acoustic, and the 2-buss track...urgh. Makes me sound old and closed minded, but that just sounds like noise to me.

I got an email that the first units are available to ship starting today. Hopefully we’ll get some reviews soon.

I've got my alarm set, planning on ordering one when it goes live. Definitely interested in hearing how it sounds, mostly for drums.

I'm underwhelmed by the compressor in these examples. Really? Ok. Well I got to play around with one at NAMM for a good while... and I had brought a number of my own mixes to try with it. It was the freaking bomb!! I giggled like a little kid. It was that exciting. Chris is the freakin’ man!!!

That's whats I heard as well. I wasn't that wowed by the examples, but someone I trust played with it at NAMM and was blown away.

The first 5 sold in 30 seconds...by the time I entered my billing info they were gone!

Ya I wondered about that process. Oh well, there will be 5 more soon and then regularly produced.
I too didn’t find the clips compelling but good to know the real life experience is the opposite.

The first 5 sold in 30 seconds...by the time I entered my billing info they were gone! Right!?! Maybe people who already had accounts and their fields were autofilled? I was pretty stoked, then disappointed as I assumed once it was in my cart, I was ready to go. Meh, at least I know I'm not waiting for it on a tethered promise. Sort of needed something last week and was hoping for a D-Comp, so went ahead and picked up a used Buzz DBC-20 on Reverb for a decent price, so there is that. I want some thing that I can use mostly for drums that isn't SSL-like, but can still do fast, squashed and pump a little, so we'll see. Maybe once AudioScape has them in stock regularly I'll pick one up.

I’ve got the SOC20 and it’s really, really great.

I've been debating getting the Buzz DBC for a while now but holding out because the D-Comp was little cheaper (and looks equally as cool), and also there are so many cool pieces coming out (SA609 etc) that I wanted to wait to see what 2019 brings.

It's the first, non-mastering version (black plate, metering in the opposite direction) of DBC's they released. Obviously used, worked out at a bit less then the D-Comp. There are a lot of cool Brit flavored comps coming out. Was equally interested in the Heritage Successor, but that looks like an April release at the earliest. Since I got rid of the Stam SA4000, I've needed something to replace it for drum duties and first in chain for my seat of the pants mastering. Right now I have a RND 5043 strapped across drums and it's a great comp, just can't get it to really breathe and crush (I'm running it in parallel for this project), has no HPF and like it much better in other places. A Neve style is also on AudioScape's to do list for 2019.

I'd have picked up the Heritage Successor in a heartbeat if it were dual mono, I really need something that I can track with and mix with. This will likely be the last hardware comp I ever buy so I need to make sure I nail this one! lol. Definitely interested in what 254 type of comp AudioScape has in store...I've heard those rumors as well.

Does Dcomp work as a "brickwall" limiter?

Does anyone know if it has a "mix" or "blend" onboard? If there was a comp that could benefit from that, this one might be the one..... Genuine question: Does the Pro Tools I/O plug in not have a mix knob (or slider)? Logic's does, and it's really nice. I still wish ALL these boxes had mix knobs, though. I miss having one on my Audioscape Bus Comp.

Not really sure I'd use a zener on a 2 bus or acoustic guitar... I'm thinking of how nice it might be on an acoustic part like in Radiohead's "just" from The Bends.

I miss having one on my Audioscape Bus Comp. Unless you can defy physics, there is still going to be latency coming back in. Might be only a couple samples, but that's enough to create phasing issues and lack of punch. Pro Tools doesn't have an i/o plug. It has a plug in insert page. And no, no "mix" knob. I think they figure you're going to mix "OTB" or be 100% wet if you're going outside the box.

This link sucks Ward! And I trusted you...lol! I was hoping it was a secret link leading me to where the in stock D-comps are, bypassing the out of stock units! Lol

Just in case I'm missing something.. As long as you have latency compensation (and I'm talking about when mixing, not tracking), there should be no phasing issues, right?

IF we are talking about logic's utility plug in it pings and controls for RTL so your return single should be aligned ?

That's what I've always done when I do drums parallel and what I was looking to do with the D. Loving the Buzz DBC on OH (not in parallel) I got to fill that niche. Not quite the crusher I was looking for, but can do some serious gain reduction without leaving that annoying 'tick' on the attack like the Stam SA4000 was and the build is phenomenal. Of course a mix knob on any comp would be amazing. I wonder if there are design compromises as I've only ever seen one on an A-Designs Nail?

Just in case I'm missing something.. As long as you have latency compensation (and I'm talking about when mixing, not tracking), there should be no phasing issues, right? Inter-Sample latency. The higher the sample rate, the smaller the slice, but it's unavoidable. No DAW that I'm aware of can adjust for latency between sample slices. You may THINK you are 100% latency compensated, but physics is a bitch. Every system can be different, and different engineers have more or less ability to hear it. Or care about it. The reality is, if you're going to blend wet and dry signals, there is no better place to do it than in the analog world.
