This isn't exactly a bug, per se...but something that would be nice to have fixed in a future update.

Vintage Compressor makes everything louder, processed or not. I need to attenuate the gain after the plug in to compensate. This may be the case on some other plugs too, but this is the one I have used the most and been annoyed by.

Thanks.

Hello,

No, this is not a bug but the way the algorithm has been coded, actually, the plugin is NOT transparent but adds his own color, that's how some old vintage hardware compressors are, we do not add gain to the plug-in output, the algorithm react like that.

Of course you can say, change the internal output gain to be set to 0 dB, yes we can but it's not the idea, the idea is to have this plugin to react like his big brother, the hardware.

If too much gain, just reduce the global gain using the OUT control.

Hope this helps ?.

Thank You.

I also tried to activate the plugin directly with the software activator (from the original folder- there i got the message that the authorization was successful....but it also dont work, i reinstalled all components of the software and so on...but nothing works...)

Greetings

Uli

Thanks for the response. I understand that the volume difference is at least partially related to additional harmonics added by the compressor. It would be nice to have the output volume go negative at least a couple of dB to compensate. I find it valuable to do a volume-matched A/B with the processed / unprocessed signal.

Hi DC,

first thanks for the two new plugins. Sounds good.
Here, as AU plugins, all Factory presets in v. 1.1.0 are lost. (All plugins) Only User Presets are shown in the plugins. But all Factory Presets are stored under HD/Library/ Application Support/Don't Crack. I think that's a bug, or not? (i7 iMac, OSX 10.6.7, Logic 9.1.5)

Cheers
Morpheus

Hi,
I was just about to post something similar (so I will anyways tongue.gif)..
But I think I have found the cause.. there is an inconsistency (at least on Mac) in the filepaths for the presets between the VST installer and the installers for AU and RTAS...
(using just DC-Brightness as an example) AU and RTAS installers create the following filepath..
/Library/Application Support/Dont Crack/DC-Brightness (then the two subfolders for Factory and User Presets)
But the Vst Installer creates the following..
/Library/Application Support/Dont Crack/Plug-In Settings/DC-Brightness/(etc)

If I remember correctly, the latter was the filepath used exclusively for all plugin formats in v1.0.1.

So now, if running all three installers, we end up with all the individual plugin presets folder twice.. once directly inside Application Support/Dont Crack, and then again inside a further subfolder, "Plug-In Settings".

I have only tried saving VST presets , so far, and they do indeed still get saved inside the "Plug-Ins Settings" subfolder (and I can load them, and Factory presets too.. no problem).. but the current conflict could be the reason why certain presets are not showing in AU and RTAS versions?

So, would a DC support person please let me know asap if this is the case as I am downloading the new installer for v1.1.0 but I don't want to install if a new updater will be issued soon that will correct this problem.
Thank you!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for reporting these.

We were able to reproduce the preset folder problem on Mac...

We also fixed the issues on XP where audio wasn't processed in demo mode under certain circumstances...

The EchoFlex folder is also an issue that will be fixed.

We have a new version 1.1.1 that should be available in the next hours and will fix all of these.

We apologies for the trouble but these were very tricky issues that our beta guys didn't notice at first.

I will post as the new version is available online.

Thanks - Peter
