What's new
Version 1.3.0
v1.3.0 — New engine
A rebuilt compression engine, tuned by ear and by measurement against the
reference unit.
• New engine: optical cell, electroluminescent panel and sidechain network
rebuilt from the circuit, with the model re-fitted to measurements.
• Mix control for parallel compression, with the dry path latency-aligned.
• Sidechain high-pass filter (12 dB/oct) at the detector input.
• Explicit external sidechain input (SC EXT), with state migration.
• Gain coupling now applies to the internal detector only.
• Tube controls moved to an absolute grid: bit-exact at any block size.
• Switches are now choice parameters (pluginval level 10 clean).
• Footer reads "Decibel Labs DB2A".
Note: this release changes how the plugin sounds. Existing sessions will
not recall identically to 1.2.x.
Note: this release does not include the AAX (Pro Tools) format; it will follow in the next release. VST3, AU and CLAP are included.

Effects
Sky Air
Air for vocals and mixes. One knob adds a broad lift centred at 10 kHz that leaves everything below 2.5 kHz untouched and goes easy on sibilance, with a touch of harmonics in the top octave. AUTO level matching, input and output trims, presets and oversampling up to 16x.
