  • Learn how to add energy and life to drums with parallel compression, even out a bass performance, and bring presence to acoustic guitars with the dbx 160 Compressor/Limiter.
    The dbx® 160 Compressor/Limiter stands alone with its enigmatic brand of solid-state VCA compression. Famous for its simple control set and firm, often radical compression characteristics, the UAD dbx 160 plug-in features nonlinearities not found in other VCA compressors, giving it a sonic personality all its own.
    Now available for individual purchase, or on subscription as part of UAD Spark. Runs on Apollo & UAD-2, or natively on Mac & Windows.

    Thanks for this. Just an observation: I’m starting to think that the YT algorithm has a large amount of compression to it already. On the bass, through headphones I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between on and off. But when I try things in my DAW the difference is immediate and huge.

    Yes this and the LA-3A REALLY need a GUI upgrade this year UA, for free

      No absolutely not, the DBX160 just isn't visible on my 4k screen unlike pretty much every other plugin

      It's not that....the graphics look like shit if you are trying to blow them up to read more clearly on a computer screen. For something as expensive as UA plugs are, it's pretty lame.

    Yay Ben, you're becoming my fav UA-cam audio engineering instructor with these tips and the Luna office hours. Yeah, it's very UAD centric but uh...so am I? Huh, guess I drank the whole glass of koolaid. Nevertheless, your demo-instruction has improved amazingly since Puremix days. Thanks!

    A plugin shouldn't require a magnifying glass to use it. MkII pls and GUI update for the legacy.

      After 5byeara they still didn't do mk2! I don't think they will. So... Good bye UAD - hello Acustica 😊

      @@timsamsung3736idk about DSP but the native versions have full gui scaling. All my UAD spark plugs look gorgeous at max scaling.

    Dbx fits best with short transients like drums IMHO. It gives that punch. For guitar I prefer 175B and for bass the 176. For vocals the 1176 and for keys the La3a.

    I’m pretty sure ppl who use their plugs especially the native ones are bedroom producers, it’s a shame they only ever seem to show these plugins with acoustic instruments. Why not demo them being used on soft synths and hardware synths

      I would want a good 165A plugin too. For now i think only Arturia has it.
