Would it surprise you to find out that such a processor already exists? And that it is actually under $125 per channel (list price, of course)?
Introducing the DCP-8 from PreSonus Audio Electronics, a dynamics processor
specifically designed to enhance your console with features that, yesterday,
only the "big boys" could afford. To be precise, the DCP-8 is an eight-channel,
digitally controlled analog dynamics processor. Plug the DCP-8 into your insert
points before or after your multitrack and you'll have a compressor/limiter on
every channel, a noise gate on every channel, automated faders and mutes plus
snapshot mix automation. Built-in software in the DCP-8 allows assignment of up
to four subgroups, stereo linking (up to four pairs), full MIDI control, pro to
line level conversion, solo on any channel, as well as naming, loading and storing
of 100 audio "scenes." All at a retail of just $999.95.
Presonus also offers the eight-channel ACP-8 Compressor/Gate for those of you who don't want or need all the features of the DCP-8 at a list price of just $699.95 - that's less than $88 per channel.
