H-Comp Hybrid Compressor is a versatile compressor effect for mixing and mastering. According to Waves, it combines the colorful characteristics of analog gear and the precision of digital processing.
H-Comp Hybrid Compressor is a dynamics processor that combines the modeled behavior of transformers, tubes, and transistors, together with the power and precision that only a plug-in can provide. H-Comp does not only model the sound of tubes, transformers, and transistors in real-life analog compressors, but, It also adds unique digital features such as the ability to set the compressor release time in sync with the BPM of your project!

First thing you'll notice is the GUI is the size of your head. Why anyone would want a threshold dial bigger than their own eyeball is unclear. But if you're partly blind, this could be the compressor for you.
The GR meter is also huge. I like a big fast GR meter and this is gratuitous beyond belief. Easy to read, fast and accurate as far as I can tell. There's an automatic make-up on this compressor that can't be disabled which means you might find yourself using the meter more than usual. Furthermore the dry/wet comes before the GR meter. This means that you can see the GR post parallel. I found it fast and novel doing parallel with the auto-make-up and the GR routing. Also note that the meter further includes the amount removed by the limiter etc.
The compressor includes a 0db limiter/clipper at the output that annoyingly cannot be disabled. You can switch between the limiter and the clipper but I found it hard to determine the difference even on heavy settings, so presumably it's not a very good limiter.
This may not produce the sound of more famous software or hardware compressors but I got some good sounds out of this. It's all subjective right? And the original arrangement and workflow may help to you to do something you wouldn't have otherwise thought of. It may be a good compressor for four to the floor type edm. Also good if you want to do something a bit crunchy and kooky.
H-Comp combines the modeled behavior of transformers, tubes, and transistors, together with the power and precision that only a plugin can provide. The result is a compressor with capabilities that engineers could only dream about back in the day. H-Comp lends a whole new meaning to the concept of THD: Total Harmonic Distortion.
Compression is widely used in EDM production. A compressor controls the signal's dynamics; there's a threshold above which the sound's amplitude is reduced according to the ratio and the reduction occurs within a window of time determined by the attack and release values. Learning to apply compression effectively in your mixes is a process that takes time and practise to master. It also helps if you begin with the best tools to get the job done! So what are the best compressors for EDM production? Read on to learn more about six great software compressors that will help push your mixes to the next level.
If you're looking for an easy way to add character to your mix, a vintage emulation compressor may be the way to go. Waves H Comp is a hybrid compressor plug-in that combines the modelling power of tubes, transistors, and transformers. It features a large, retro-styled GUI and one of the most prominent features is the Wet/Dry mix control for parallel compression (for those who would like to learn more about parallel processing, check out this AskAudio article). One of the more unique features of the H Comp is the transient punch control, which allows you to preserve a sound's initial transient even when using very fast attack times.
The Sonalksis TBK3 is a unique compressor, that's able to 'push further and harder than you ever thought possible'. The TBK3 is from Sonalksis' Creative Elements line that is aimed at producers who want to use plug-ins that are simple and sound great. TBK stands for 'The Big Knob' and on the TBK3, the big knob is the compressors' ratio control.
If you're just getting into production and are overwhelmed by all the features on compressors, you'll feel comfortable using the TBK3. There are only seven controls:Input, Noise, Ratio, Fierce, Timing, S/C Bias, and Output. Although it's tempting to spend all your time turning the big knob, to achieve amazing results you'll need to tweak the input gain, clip, timing and sidechain on this compressor. The sidechain switch lets you set the compressor in four different modes, however there's not a true sidechain input. For those determined to create aggressive sounds, the Fierce mode (which creates the 'Uber' compression) and the Noise modes are two features you'll certainly want to experiment with.
The Glue is an analog modelled compressor plug-in that's based upon the stereo buss compressor found in famous British mix bus compressor of the '80s. Throughout this decade, engineers used the bus compressors on large consoles to 'glue' their mixes together, while controlling dynamics and creating a unique, sought-after 'hit record' sound. Cytomic's The Glue uses an analogue modelling approach to replicate the characteristics of stereo busses from yesteryear, while adding more features and making this coveted sound more affordable for EDM producers.
Here's another compressor on the list that's an emulation of a classic legendary hardware compressor/limiter. While it may not be widespread in EDM right now, this compressor is capable of packing a real punch. The dbx 160 compressor is considered by many to be one of the best VCA compressors ever made, and the dbx 160 does a very good job replicating its classic sound. It features the same simple control set as its analog predecessor, which include threshold, compression, output gain, power, input, output, gain change, and an input/output/gain change VU meter. Like many of the UAD plug-ins, it does require a UAD DSP Accelerator Card or Apollo interface.
Modelled after the legendary electro-optical tube compressor, the CLA-2A accurately replicates the sound of the Teletronix LA-2A. The original was launched in the 1960s, and was immediately popular due to its gentle multi-stage release time. The Teletronix LA-2A was especially popular for compressing vocals, and many engineers have stated that it treats audio signals 'lovingly'. Like the hardware version, the CLA-2A is also a great choice for compressing vocals, and works well with guitars, basses and just about every other sound source as well. It features a clearly laid out front panel, with a straightforward and simple design.
On the CLA-2A, you'll find controls for gain, peak reduction, and a meter that switches from input to output or VU display. You can also choose to either compress or limit your signal, and there's a sidechain frequency filter too. To top it all off, this outstanding compressor comes with a selection of presets created by Chris Lord-Alge (who has worked with Muse, Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day) Best of all, there's zero latency. That's right, zero.
Rough Rider isn't a typical compressor; it gives audio a vintage sound while at the same time adding a unique warmth to your signal. It's well suited for adding compression effects to drum tracks, synth or bass parts or even backup vocals. Its great for delivering a pumping sound and giving your audio a bit of extra 'oomph. Its a free download, so it's certainly worth it to give it a try and see what kind of cool compression effects can be created with it. Download it and give it a go, you really can't beat the price.
There are quite a number of SSL-style bus compressor emulations on the market today, which is unsurprising as these have become a go-to bus compressor for decades for everyone from cream-of-the-crop audio professionals to modest hobbyists.
Real Fairchilds run on an insane number of vacuum tubes, and offer a significant dose of character. They are thick, chewy, and when used appropriately, can absolutely take the fatness of a track to the next level. They are a fantastic style of compressor for the digital audio era, as they easily correct some of the overly clean, sterile sounds of today by injecting some serious analog vibe.
Possibly the best freeware contemporary here is the Vladgsound Molot. Beware: Fairchild style compressors can be notoriously finicky and difficult to dial in at first, and the Molot is no different. But it offers some additional controls, but the GUI is customizable to an extent. This is a solid vari-mu compressor with an even more robust control set (including optional saturation) than most other Fairchild plug-ins have.

AAC supports inclusion of 48 full-bandwidth (up to 96 kHz) audio channels in one stream plus 16 low frequency effects (LFE, limited to 120 Hz) channels, up to 16 "coupling" or dialog channels, and up to 16 data streams. The quality for stereo is satisfactory to modest requirements at 96 kbit/s in joint stereo mode; however, hi-fi transparency demands data rates of at least 128 kbit/s (VBR). Tests[which?] of MPEG-4 audio have shown that AAC meets the requirements referred to as "transparent" for the ITU at 128 kbit/s for stereo, and 320 kbit/s for 5.1 audio.[citation needed] AAC uses only a modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) algorithm, giving it higher compression efficiency than MP3, which uses a hybrid coding algorithm that is part MDCT and part FFT.[4]
The discrete cosine transform (DCT), a type of transform coding for lossy compression, was proposed by Nasir Ahmed in 1972, and developed by Ahmed with T. Natarajan and K. R. Rao in 1973, publishing their results in 1974.[9][10][11] This led to the development of the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT), proposed by J. P. Princen, A. W. Johnson and A. B. Bradley in 1987,[12] following earlier work by Princen and Bradley in 1986.[13] The MP3 audio coding standard introduced in 1994 used a hybrid coding algorithm that is part MDCT and part FFT.[14] AAC uses a purely MDCT algorithm, giving it higher compression efficiency than MP3.[4] 2ff7e9595c
