The Golden Audio Channel | GAC-1 includes all you need to make top-notch audio tracks and mixes. It features two equalizers, two compressors, a noise-gate and a de-esser. All components of the GAC-1 are of the highest quality. The internal effects are interconnected with ten selectable routings, including normal instrument setups, dual band setups, and special setups like mid-side processing and compression based on side chain filtering. With the double EQ and Compressor architecture, the GAC-1 offers outstanding sound possibilities that are not possible with single processing. But even with all of these features, it is still easy to use. Three versions are available: stereo, stereo with side chain, and mono with side chain. There is no latency, which makes this the ideal tool for real time performance in the studio or on stage.

v1.01 - April 26, 2005

Fixes:

Now you will hear the signal going to the detector instead of the side chain signal. That means that if you use one of the equalizers as a side chain filter, you will now hear the actual signal (where the compression is based) instead of the unfiltered side chain signal.
