Now this is a sub-harmonic synthesizer, meaning it actually creates harmonics that add density and weight to the low end. Waves plug-in number two is the Renaissance Bass. And that blue stripe setting on this compressor – which is an emulation of an older model of the 1176 – has a little bit more distortion and aggression to it which can work really well on rock vocals, or things you want to add a little bit more of that kind of grit and distortion to. It’s one of my go-to compressors whenever I’m trying to bring things forward and make things sound brighter and more aggressive. So I really like using this compressor on vocals. So it works very well on rock vocals, really things you want to bring forward and add energy and urgency to in your mixes. And this compressor has a very bright, fast sound. Now this is an emulation of a classic 1176 compressor, one of the most famous, well-known compressors of all time.
