Universal Audio UADX-DBX-160 Overview
Avail yourself of one of the most legendary pieces of studio gear ever with dbx 160 Compressor and Limiter from Universal Audio, a faithful and fully licensed emulation of the first ever solid-state VCA compressor. Featuring added controls and features for a modern workflow, this plug-in makes it easier than ever to crush drum tracks, impart fatness and warmth, and give transients a thick thwack, elevating any mix.
Along with all the controls and quirkiness of the original analog hardware, this emulation also sports new features for producers of the digital age, such as a side-chain filter for controlling low-frequency pumping, and a wet/dry mix for quick and easy parallel compression. VU metering has also been improved, making it easy to monitor your signals while retaining that old-school analog vibe. This plug-in is available in UAD Native form for macOS and Windows computers without UA hardware and can be installed in AAX, AU, and VST 3 plug-in formats. dbx 160 also runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD-2 hardware.
Add Versatile VCA Compression to Your Tracks
Whether you're using it on synths, bass guitar, or a drum bus, the dbx 160 plug-in emulates the original hardware's grabby, low-end glue and old-school character, full of the same unique nonlinearities that make it a must-have for any engineer's compressor tool kit.
Simple to Use, Timeless Character
With the same simple control set and at-a-glance metering of the original, the dbx 160 plug-in makes it easy to crush a parallel drum bus, or inject subtle fatness. It can also add aggressiveness and impact to everything from guitar power chords to hip-hop vocals.
Leveled Up for Modern Workflows
Along with graphic enhancements and improved VU metering, the dbx 160 plug-in's dry/wet mix control lets you easily punch up a drum bus with parallel compression, while the added side-chain filter lets you keep the low end tight, enhancing the compressor's impact.
