Professional level dynamics control software plug-in.
The Waves API 2500 plug-in is a versatile dynamics processor that lets you shape the punch and tone of mixes with absolute accuracy. Its dual-channel design lets the 2500 also function as two separate mono channels via a single compression setting. Using auto-makeup gain, you can adjust Threshold or Ratio while automatically maintaining a constant output level. With both "feed back" and "feed forward" compression types, the Waves API 2500 compressor plug-in boasts a wide range of incredibly musical parameters which have made it a favorite of engineers the world over.
