About Universal Audio dbx 160 Compressor and Limiter
The dbx 160 is an emulation of the studio compressor/limiter, known for the grabby sound of its VCA compression. It captures the hardware's low-end glue, vintage character and nonlinearities, and it adds controls for modern workflows.
It suits synths, bass guitar and drum buses, and it adds impact to guitar chords and hip-hop vocals. A Dry/Wet Mix control allows parallel compression on a drum bus, and a Sidechain Filter keeps the low end tight. The metering is an improved VU display.
Activation online needs an internet connection and a free iLok account. Offline activation needs an iLok USB (second generation or newer). It does not work in GarageBand.
