W**es Audio and Valentina Bilancieri have teamed up to launch the H-COMP limited-time free mixer compressor effects plug-in.
Valentina Bilancieri has an awesome YouTube channel with over 80,000 subscribers. She partnered with W**es Audio to give away a free copy of the H-Comp hybrid compressor plug-in, which combines the behavior and characteristics of transformers, tubes, and transistors. **Event limited to 40 hours** (approximately until 9 a.m. Sunday (Central Time)).
The W**es Hybrid Compressor (or H-Comp) is a classic W**es plug-in, released in 2009, that blends retro and modern compression techniques. I've used it in different projects, it's easy to use, and it still delivers great sound.
Its standout features include an easy-to-use interface, excellent thumping control, blending options for parallel compression, and an analog shading mode. It has a low CPU usage.
However, the H-Comp lacks manual gain, saturation control in analog mode, and side-chain functionality.
Basically, this is a reliable compressor plugin that is intuitive and easy to use. It's not good at any single category, but it's a comprehensive package you can trust. If you're new to mixing, H-Comp is a great plugin for learning compression.
Unlike more powerful emulation** features like SoftUBE's recently launched free software, H-Comp can be your go-to compressor for simple compression tasks. It is lightweight and easy to use in mixing. Classics are classics
