A versatile compressor for every need

The Waves Renaissance Compressor combines the warmth of analog classics with the flexibility of the latest software technologies. With a choice of a soft, musical "optical" character or a more modern, precise VCA style, it fits vocals, bass, guitars, and drums perfectly.

Dynamic compression and creative control

With traditional compression modes or upward expansion, the Renaissance Compressor allows you to emphasize the attack of instruments and give more presence to the mix. Soft knee, auto-release, and built-in limiter ensure professional, musical results in any context.
