About Universal Audio dbx 160 Compressor and Limiter
The dbx 160 Compressor/Limiter plug-in is a genuine emulation of the renowned studio hardware. It successfully captures the quirky sonics of its colorful VCA compression while offering additional controls for modern workflows. This plug-in is perfect for use on synths, bass guitar, or a drum bus, reproducing the original hardware’s grabby, low-end glue and vintage character, complete with its unique nonlinearities.
The dbx 160 plug-in maintains the straightforward control set and easy metering of the original, simplifying the process of crushing a parallel drum bus or instilling subtle fatness. It can also add impact and aggression to everything from powerful guitar chords to hip-hop vocals. With graphic enhancements and improved VU metering, the plug-in’s Dry/Wet Mix control facilitates parallel compression on a drum bus, while the added Sidechain Filter ensures a tight low end, enhancing the compressor’s impact.
This software can be activated on both online and offline systems. For online activation, an active internet connection and a free iLok account are required. For offline activation, a physical iLok USB (2nd generation or higher) is needed. Please note that UAD plugins do not work in Apple’s Garageband DAW.
