Software Compatibility

Most software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers, but check to make sure.

If you're using Pro Tools, AAX plug-ins (or RTAS for older versions) are what you need. Most other Mac DAWs support AU plug-ins. VST is compatible with a number of Mac and Windows programs. Be sure you choose plug-ins that work with your DAW!

This May Be Your New Go-to Compressor Plug-in

The Waves V-Comp compressor plug-in re-creates the huge, vibrant sound of the vintage Neve 2254 hardware compressor. Legendary engineer Eddie Kramer has visited Sweetwater many times for training sessions, and consistently tells us how impressed he is with the musical sound of the Waves V-Series of plug-ins like the V-Comp compressor. You'll quickly find yourself using the V-Comp plug-in on busses and full mixes as well as individual vocals and instruments. And with built-in limiting and de-essing in addition to compression, the Waves V-Comp plug-in is a powerful tool.

Excellent Starter & Finisher

This plug-in gave me just what I wanted as far as when I begin my beat. I start with a kick add the v-comp to the track just to get the feel of the kick and boom, just like that I realize if A, do i wanna jus that kick & B, if I do I can already hear how it will sound in a system YES a car system. Also house joint , headphones, ear buds, etc.. Now heres the thing depending on what you're trying to do you can use it for vocals, individual sounds, bussed sounds whatever trust me. And to top it off you'll never and I mean ever have to use it to the extreme settings. Pick It Up thanx Sweetwater

Waves V-Comp Compressor

I was looking for a nice Compressor/Limiter and Wave"s V-Comp caught my attention. Turns out to be a great little plugin with a very well-designed layout. It"s dead simple layout let"s you get exactly what you need quickly and even adds a nifty pre-set de-esser that doesn"t suck all of the tone out of a vocal should you choose to use it.
The plugin sports a rather "older" looking panel that"s quite fitting as the V-Comp has a beautiful, warm "tube compressor" character and sound. I use it on nearly every track with great results. Works great on vocals, drums ...well, pretty much anything you need a compressor/limiter on. The vu meter is a welcome part of the design rather than the light up bars on too many plugins. This is a great choice if you"re looking to add a very analog type sound and vibe to your mixes.

Since the early days of DAW software, Waves has been a dominating force in music and audio production. For those of us here at Sweetwater who've been recording since the industry switched over to computer-based studios, it's impossible to imagine sessions without L series Ultramaximizers, MaxxBass, and other staples. Since then, we've been impressed every time Waves has brought top producers such as Jack Joseph Puig and Chris Lord-Alge to Sweetwater to show off their next cutting-edge creations, and Waves is constantly adding new and innovative plug-ins to their catalog. And with cool new gear such as their SoundGrid series, Sweetwater engineers have discovered just how easy it is to use Waves plug-ins live.
