Waves API 2500 Stereo Compressor Plug-in
Waves API 2500 Stereo Compressor Plug-in Reviews
When you apply the Waves API 2500 dynamics processor plug-in to your tracks, you'll get results that go for beyond anything you'd ever anticipate. Sure, the API 2500 is a fantastic dynamics processor, with three excellent compression modes, three variable filter types, and a host of useful controls that make dialing in the perfect sound a piece of cake. But there's something more to this remarkable plug-in than meets the eye. The sheer analog quality of the API 2500 plug-in can make a huge difference when it comes to how lively your tracks sound. Even when you dial it back, the Waves API 2500 adds the right touch of analog goodness to your sound.

Uno de los mejores compresores que puede existir
Not as smooth
It compresses like it's supposed to but it's not rounded and smooth as I would have liked. It's more on the harsh side for squeezing a bass or other dynamic tracks.
So-so
I guess I was expecting a lot, tone-wise, from an API compressor but in the end.....it's still software and not hard-wired, hardware. There's no comparison between the two. Hardware always sounds better. Still, this plug-in is not too bad. It gets the job done.
Use like the Pros do, or as a final mastering compressor
Many pros use the hardware version, outputting from their DAW, to run through the API to "glue" things together "summing amp style", then back out to their DAW. This Waves software does a darn fine job emulating that task. I also like it as a change up from my Slate Buss Compressor package. This is a first rate plug in, as warm as you want it to be!
Great drum and mix bus compresor
One of the best mix bus compressors I've come across. Works great on drums too with it's fast attack, Use it all the time, love it.
