Waves C1 Compressor
Dynamics Plugin
Dynamics with Maximum Flexibility
The classic C1 combines a musically pleasing dynamics sound with rich features and functionality: Compression, expansion, upward expansion, gating, dynamic filtering, sidechaining, and internal sidechain filtering - all in one plugin.
C1 isn't about 'color' - it's about solving problems.
The clean, neutral sound complements any sound, because its sole goal is to deliver every type of dynamics processing any project needs.
