Waves Renaissance Compressor: Compressor Plugin

The Renaissance Compressor revives the warmth that made vintage analog compressors great—with the transparency and additional features made possible only with modern software designs. As the gold standard for modern compressors R-Comp brings clarity and definition with the added versatility of classic opto or modern “electro” attack/release times.

Choose Your Character

Maybe you like a smooth “optical” character for vocals and bass. Or maybe you prefer the modern VCA sound for tighter faster compression. Renaissance Compressor offers you the best of both characters.

Compress Down—or Expand Up
