Following the acquisition of certain assets and the complete set of intellectual property of Cakewalk Inc. from Gibson Brands on 2/23/18, BandLab Technologies announced the relaunch of SONAR as Cakewalk by BandLab - available free-to-download to all BandLab users worldwide.
As of Feb 21st 2018, information elsewhere on this website may no longer be accurate.
The +10db Compressor Plug-in, the brainchild of multi-platinum award-winning producer David Bendeth (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach, Of Mice & Men, A Day to Remember) and innovative professional audio plug-in designer Boz Digital Labs, is a channel strip plugin meticulously modeled after one of the industries most iconic hardware compressors.
This rare analogue unit has never before been designed into a plug-in. Along with harnessing the sonic feel of this unique piece, the +10db also comes with 10 presets that were created by Bendeth, allowing users’ drum and vocal tracks to benefit from his years of experience in the studio. Unless you stopped listening to music after “Johnny B Goode” then you have most definitely heard this hardware unit many many times. Think of Led Zeppelin drums.
+10db Compressor is the first of it's kind channel strip plugin. This plugin is modelled after a very highly sought after compressor hardware unit. We didn't just use the hardware unit for inspiration, we dug in deep and made sure that it sounded just like the original.
+10db Equaliser takes the EQ section from our +10db Channel strip plugin and puts it in a dedicated plugin. This plugin faithfully recreates the curves and subtleties of this hardware equaliser unit.
The +10db seemed like a perfect match for SONAR’s ProChannel, and thanks to a partnership with David Bendeth and Boz Digital Labs, the amazing +10db Compressor and Equaliser will now be available in the ProChannel format as well as VST3, Audio Units, AAX, and RTAS.
The +10db Compressor actually includes three separate plugins: +10db Compressor, +10db Equaliser and +10db Channel Strip (available in the +10db bundle).
"Like DB [David Bendeth], this thing is pure rock'n'roll!
We're loving the way it sounds on drums here."
