Waves BSS DPR-402 - Classic Compressor, Limiter and De-Esser Plugin

The Waves BSS DPR-402 models the versatile compressor that ruled the 80s in live sound, broadcast and studios, thanks to VCA compression, peak limiting, de-essing, sidechaining and 11 frequency-dependent responses. In the studio it was known for its explosive compression on drums and drum machines.

Designed in close cooperation with BSS Audio, the modelling captures the acclaimed sound while adding features, versatility and ease of use. Rear-panel hardware jumpers become a drop-down menu, and parallel processing and an output limiter are added.

• Compression, limiting and de-essing, together or separately
• Stereo, dual mono or mid/side processing
