Classic Comp Plug-in
For many recording engineers back in the day, the original dbx 160 - with its punchy, clean sound with vanishingly low distortion - was the ultimate drum compressor. Sporting an ultra-fast onset, the 160 could handle anything you threw at it, making it a fixture in most major recording studios from the late 1970s through the '80s. So much so that it and its descendants became industry standards. Developed in collaboration with dbx, the Waves dbx 160 compressor/limiter plug-in is a genuine-sounding software version of this classic hardware device. Take it from Sweetwater - the Waves dbx 160 plug-in is essential kit.
