Waves Renaissance Axx

For guitar, bass, and other stringed instruments, all-purpose compressors that also have to handle vocals, drums, stereo mixes, and so on - are unnecessarily complex.

You would probably just set-and-forget most parameters, and tweak the two or three you actually need.

So, welcome to Renaissance Axx - which optimizes "under the hood" parameters for stringed instruments and similar sounds like plucked synths.

The result: Ease of use, with the gorgeous sound of high-end studio compression.

Features

• Adjust only 3 controls to dial up perfect compression in seconds
• Increase sustain with guitar, fullness with bass
• Place before amp sims for smooth, creamy distortion
• Equally effective with “plucked” synth sounds
• Calculates ratio and release time dynamically and automatically
• Includes 28 dazzling artist and factory presets
• More consistent levels help tracks sit better in any mix
• Informative metering speeds up the tweaking process
• Choose from light, dark, or legacy skins
• Automatic limiting catches occasional peaks
