Good compressor
Good compressor. When you want a solid effect.

Drums will come to life!
I have experienced many examples of the excellent, world famous DBX 160 on drums in my studio. The simple and fast hardware emulation works it’s magic and adds the compression sound that supports early 90’s snare and kick. I’m able to sculpt the transients and construct attack around anything I use it in; and it’s very useful. I’d suggest anyone to try the free trial and see what it can do for you !

Great drum compressor!
This is a great compressor for drums! Basically put it on and and drive it for light or hard compression and it sounds amazing!

The best DBX 160 emulation there is
This works amazing on anything drums. But it is also a go-to for bass guitar. It makes your mix sound smoother, more together and really professional.

love it
has it's own quirky characteristic. works really well on kick and snare with a pultech eq taggin' along.

Angenehm überrascht
Stellte gestern dbx 160 erstmalig in eine Snare-Drum-Spur und hatte ohne weitere Einflussnahme auf die Parameter sofort einen überraschend guten Effekt damit erzielt. Während viele Kompressoren einer langwierigen Steuerung bedürfen, um damit hörbare Verbesserungen herbeiführen zu können, bekam ich schon durch das Switch-On ein wirklich annehmbares Ergebnis.

160 reasons why you should get the DBX 160 Compressor Limiter
Reason NO. 160 - Tight Low End, Huge Punch!
On the kick this SLAPS like the meme "How can she slap?" It tightens up the low end and adds a nice punch (like the bald guy with the red cloak), but I digress... If you are on the fence about getting this plugin, jump off and take a chance! I would highly recommend this. Once again, switching to UAD has vastly improved my mixes. something about this company just adds to that pro sound.

Like the Real dbx 160
I have experience with the real unit from back in the 70's and 80's. I have always loved dbx products, bought one of UA's competitors 160 plugin units, and was disappointed. Sounded too gritty. The UA 160 is cleaner and more like a real unit! You guys might want to try an emulation of the dbx 3bx unit, a great expander gate. Very pleased with the sound of your 160, like to use it as a limiter.

Rápido pero seguro & simple
hermoso en miles de instrumentos, pero si quieres darle un toque agresivo a las voces de rap este es el camino.

Astounding Virtualization!
I owned a pair of these back when they were released.
They were lost to me when my studio closed. Then I got a 160X in the late 80's still have it but I didn't have a pair for stereo.
Now this piece of software has solved that for me in so many situations! Lovin' it!

Just like the hardware
Just like the hardware .. It leaves transients thru and the rest you can compress to taste !

Just like the hardware ....
Just like the hardware, it leaves room for the initial transients and the rest can be compressed to taste. Love it !
