1 Introduction
Welcome to FXpansion DCAM Dynamics, a powerful set of compression plugins. After the
installation, 4 new plugins are added to your system:
DCAM BusComp
DCAM BusComp is based on a classic bus compressor design from the centre section of a well-
known British large-format mixing console. It is usually intended to be inserted on subgroups like
drum mixes or the entire master output to add ‘glue’ and power to a mix of tracks. However, it also
works very well as a channel compressor in its own right, offering a different type of compression
to that offered by the ChanComp.
DCAM ChanComp
DCAM ChanComp is based on a classic limiting amplifier design commonly used as a channel
compressor. It features very fast attack response and is usually intended to be applied to
individual tracks.
DCAM CrossComp
Frequency selective compression and shaping
DCAM CrossComp provides a simple but effective set of additions to a bus compressor core that
allow you to quickly dial in frequency-dependent compression without the complicated overhead of
a full multi-band device.
DCAM EnvShaper
DCAM EnvShaper takes a different approach to dynamics processing than a standard
compressor. It allows you to adjust the attack and sustain portions of transients in order to
change the dynamic shape of a signal.
Common features in DCAM Dynamics
The DCAM Dynamics plugins contain some common menus and preset controls: these are
described at the start of chapter 2.
All plugins also feature a built-in MIDI Learn system for mapping MIDI continuous controllers (MIDI
CCs) to the plugins' controls.
