Native Instruments Vintage Compressors

COMPRESS TO IMPRESS
Three of the most popular compressors in studio history, with added sidechaining and parallel compression, for legendary character!

THE VINTAGE ADVANTAGE
NATIVE INSTRUMENTS and Softube present VINTAGE COMPRESSORS —painstakingly accurate emulations of three of the most heavily-used compressors in studio history.
The VC 76, VC 2A, and VC 160 feature a modern, clean design for intuitive usability while each maintains its own unmistakable sound.

THREE'S COMPANY
Each of the three compressors has its own unique character and specific advantages
VC 76: Workhorse compressor with a fast attack. Great presence, punchy, clear high end. Good for drums, vocals or stereo limiting.

VC 2A: Smooth compressor with a silky, natural sound. Great on vocals, bass, pads and guitar.

VC 160: Classic compressor for added attack and a subtle drive. Especially good on kickdrum, snare, bass or guitar.

EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING
All three VINTAGE COMPRESSORS come with an added sidechain input. This essential enhancement provides much more than the characteristic ducking/pumping sound, allowing a wide range of creative compression techniques. Each VINTAGE COMPRESSOR also provides a dry control, for applying parallel compression.
