Considered one of the best drum compressors ever, the original dbx\u00ae 160 stands tall among its peers, boasting a very clean sound with minimum THD. The fast-acting dbx\u00ae 160 compressor was used in almost every major recording in the late \u201870s and throughout the \u201880s, and later models in the 160 series also became industry standards.<\/p>\n
Created in collaboration with dbx\u00ae, the Waves dbx\u00ae 160 compressor \/ limiter plugin is an authentic-sounding software version of this storied piece of hardware. In addition to its meticulous modeling of the vintage compressor, the Waves dbx\u00ae 160 plugin incorporates unique and exclusive features not found in the original hardware, such as Waves\u2019 MS Matrix, mix and noise controls, and a stereo component. The result is a must-have compressor \/ limiter for use in the studio, live, or both.<\/p>\n
