{"product_id":"waves-h-comp-hybrid-compressor-1","title":"Waves H-Comp Hybrid Compressor","description":"\u003cp\u003eH-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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoose Your Analog\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour analog options process both the wet and dry signals. Dial in the desired vibe, from the thick sound of transformers and tubes to the fizz of transistors. Even with no compression dialed in, H-Comp can add subtle analog magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoose Your Punch\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Character” compressors are known for their punch—but you can’t change the basic character of the compressor. H-Comp can, so you can set the amount of punch you want, not what the compressor wants to give you. And, it’s independent of the attack time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMix Control for Parallel Compression\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage units rarely had Mix controls to blend the compressed and the original source. H-Comp knows the value of “New York”-style parallel compression. Furthermore, the gain reduction meter takes parallel mix settings into account—more dry shows less gain reduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSync Release to BPM\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf course, you can set release time manually. But you can also set it according to BPM, or even sync to the host tempo for novel pumping and pushing effects—try it with drums, or anything percussive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIntegral Limiting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy not make a vintage compressor as easy to use as a modern one? Peak limiting keeps the output under control even with lots of punch, and automatic makeup gain keeps consistent levels, regardless of the compression amount.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspired by the SSL, API, and V-series models of classic gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 analog sound characters affect dry and processed sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak limiter sets a ceiling to avoid overloading subsequent stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Punch control improves on vintage devices’ fixed punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSync release time to the host tempo, BPM, or set manually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry\/wet mix control for parallel compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequirements:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emac\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ecpu\u003c\/strong\u003e:Intel or Silicon Architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eram\u003c\/strong\u003e:8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003edisk\u003c\/strong\u003e:16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eversion\u003c\/strong\u003e:macOS Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eadditional_requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e:Minimum: 1024x768\u003cbr\u003eRecommended: 1280x1024 \/ 1600x1024\u003cbr\u003eUSB displays are not supported as the primary display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewindows\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ecpu\u003c\/strong\u003e:X64 compatible Intel or AMD CPU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eram\u003c\/strong\u003e:8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003edisk\u003c\/strong\u003e:16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eversion\u003c\/strong\u003e:Windows 10 64 bit and Windows 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eadditional_requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e:Minimum: 1024x768\u003cbr\u003eRecommended: 1280x1024 \/ 1600x1024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eVideos:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TN0KYFAEvgs\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56119424483660,"sku":"CHO-1178-2885","price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4652\/3724\/files\/h-comp-hybrid-compressor_dcf21190-f392-4040-9892-9058629d2b4f.jpg?v=1764473593","url":"https:\/\/pluginbay.net\/products\/waves-h-comp-hybrid-compressor-1","provider":"Pluginbay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
