After using this on another studios rig and then as a demo I bought. This is my favorite work horse compressor. I always use it on kick drum, bass and drum buses but it it works on everything.

by Ernest Buckley from Brooklyn, NY
Around 2 years ago I received an email from Waves stating that as an owner of the Gold Bundle I was qualified for two free plugs: the H-Delay and the H-Comp. So I downloaded the new plugs, not too exc... read more [+]ited because I already owned the Waves CLA plugs and the Renaissance Compressor which all get heavy use on my productions so I wasn`t expecting much from a "free" plug. September 20, 2011 Music Background: Professional Musician Also, I`ve been fortunate to have had my hands on classic hardware compressors like 1176s, Distressors, 1178s, LA2As over the years so a free software compressor wasn`t really getting me all that excited. However, when I started to tweak the H-Comp I simply could not believe how amazing this plug sounded. I`ll just say its a fantastically versatile plug. I love it and its not unusual to see the H-Comp occupying most of my DAW inserts. I have used the H-Comp on drums, bkg vocals, bass, acoustic and electric guitars, lead vocals and piano, the H-Comp works well on all sources. Obviously no piece does everything so if I want a little edge to my tracks or "grit", I`ll usually turn to the CLA collection but for most audio needs, the H-Comp shines. The dry/wet setting has proven time and time to be super handy! The best news about Waves is that you can download whatever you want and audition it for yourself. I would suggest you do that. Check out the H-Comp if you`re looking for an all around great software compressor. close [-] It Has A Mix Knob
by Brendon Bigelow from Austin, TX USA
First off: I docked half a star because of the limiter component of this plug. It seems odd and unwieldy among the other features of this fantastic dynamics processor.May 3, 2013 Music Background: Music Background: Producer, Mix Engineer, Occasional Recording Engineer (Mostly retired from that), Professional Musician. I've used this thing ... read more [+]on many mix projects. My favorite thing about it is the interface. It's like a real compressor. The fact that it has knobs keeps you from over thinking what you're doing. But... If you want to really zero in on a setting, you just double click a knob and type in the value that you want. Awesome! Intuitive in general but surgical when you need it to be. As features go... I'd say the "Mix" knob is absolutely the "Star Feature" of this plug. You can do "Parallel Compression" right then and there. You don't have to bring up another channel and balance it against the original uncompressed one.... Then group it... Or, bus it... Blah, Blah, Blah. You just compress the SNOT out of it and dial back the mix 'til you've got what you want. Pure genius. I only own one other compressor that has this feature but I wish they all had it. There's another feature that enables one to sync the release time to the host tempo. I haven't found this to be extremely useful in band scenarios but in electronic music, I bet I'd use it quite a lot. I don't find it to be "Klunky". I have tons of compressor plugins. I use this one more than all the others. I guess that's the main thing. I "Get" the controls. It sounds great. And... It has a mix knob. Love It! close [-] Also popular
