Distinctly Vintage, Made-to-Rock Compressor!

Legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer has worked with the best of the best. And we don't just mean the acts, though it's hard to beat spending studio time with Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Kiss. What we mean here is that Kramer's golden ear has been developed through working with the best audio equipment on the planet, including the world's most sought-after consoles and outboard gear. While not all of us have had the benefit of working in the best studios with iconic artists, we can now use the sophisticated plug-in technology from Waves to get our hands on unbelievably accurate models of the very gear Eddie trained his ears on. Meet the Spirits of a Generation plug-in series from Waves.

No studio is complete without a classic compressor rounding out your sound with vintage flavor and body. And with the Waves PIE Compressor plug-in, you don't get just any old compressor; you get an accurate model of one of classic rock's most trusted and venerable tools: the Pye. Waves used their cutting-edge modeling technology to get the PIE Compressor to sound just like the one Kramer used in historic sessions at London's renowned Olympic Studios. This British beast is regarded by many as one of the best bus compressors ever, period. And with the Waves PIE Compressor plug-in, its sweet sonic fingerprint is yours for the taking — complete with a meticulously modeled VU meter that gives you the vibe and behavior of its analog counterpart.

When you want to inject your studio with a bit of rock history DNA, this is the place to start — revel in the distinctly vintage and made-to-rock flavor of the incredible Waves PIE Compressor.

What A Fun Plugin!

by Robert Allen from Rockwood, TN

Music Background: Guitarist, Recording Engineer
This is a fantastic character compressor and I find new ways to use it every time I pull it up. In Compressor mode it shines on things like piano, toms (very big sound!), and sometimes electric guitar... read more [+]. In Limiter mode things get really fun. It's really easy to dial in a classic bass tone, and it's money on male rock vocals, polishing them in a way others can't. It's also not afraid to get dirty :)

If your mixes lack flavor, offer them a little PIE! close [-]

I am very happy with the product and service I received. I have yet to experience such personalized service from audio/music companies in my hometown. I will certainly make more purchases from Sweetwater again. If you have the product I need, I will purchase it from Sweetwater. The service is exceptional. I have never been treated with such thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly service from any of the music companies located in Saint Louis, MO.
