Waves H-Comp Hybrid Compressor
Compressor Plugin
Modern Performance with Vintage Compression Sound
H-Comp combines the performance and precision of modern compressors with the charming, and enduring, sound quality of tubes, transformers, and transistors.
Even better, unlike the immutable nature of "character" compressors, you can choose from four distinct analog personalities.
Whether warming up today's tracks with a vintage vibe, packing percussive power and punch into rhythm tracks and loops, or sweetening vocals with the nostalgic sheen of tubes, H-Comp delivers.
