Seeing WinXP in that list tells me they are long in the tooth — perhaps 32bit only?

3 of those 4 are available at T-RackS plugins (White 2A Leveling Amplifier, Black 76 Limiting Amplifier, Vintage Compressor 670). Those can be used with DP.

Thanks Fellas.

Mike, that White 2A you refer to, since it isnt actually the BF-2A, I guess it's just another simulation of the LA-2A, right, and they're all just a little bit different, it seems to me. A friend has been using the BF-2A on something I recorded to good effect, and I wanted to get one. Even MOTU has something like it (the MW Leveler) but I cant seem to get it to do what I want. Oh well....
