Shape Audio Dynamics with Precision and Flexibility
The Waves C6 is perfect for in - depth audio adjustments on individual tracks and masters.
With 4 configurable frequency bands and 2 extra 'floating' bands, it offers extreme flexibility. You can perform per - band compression, expansion, upward expansion, limiting, and dynamic EQ.
This combination of dynamics processing and EQ is great for shaping or fixing audio across a wide frequency range, including masters, drums, synths, heavy guitars, pianos, and more.
Features
- Four powerful types of dynamics processing
- Six frequency bands for focused dynamics and EQ
- Four crossover and two floating frequency bands
- Internal or external sidechain for each band
- Three release options: smooth, fast, and automatic control
- Analog circuitry modeling for a warm sound
- Sidechain input to lock dynamics to other tracks
- Customizable crossover frequencies and slopes
- Over 50 presets from top mixing engineers
- Individual solo and bypass buttons for each band with adjustable knee
Using the Waves C6 Multiband Compressor is quite straightforward. First, decide which audio track you want to work on, whether it's a master track, drums, or a guitar track. Then, use the 4 configurable and 2 floating frequency bands to target specific frequency ranges. You can choose from 4 different types of dynamics processing like compression or expansion for each band. There are 3 release options - pick smooth for a gentle effect, fast for a more immediate change, or automatic control for an easy - going approach. The sidechain input can be used to link the dynamics processing to other tracks. When using the presets from top mixing engineers, you can quickly get a good starting point for your audio. As for maintenance, make sure to keep your software up - to - date to ensure it works smoothly. Also, be careful when adjusting the crossover frequencies and slopes, as very steep slopes might cause some audio artifacts. Always test your settings on a small part of the audio first before applying them to the whole track.
