Waves Renaissance Axx

For guitar, bass, and other stringed instruments, regular all - purpose compressors that handle vocals, drums, and stereo mixes are overly complex. You'd likely set most parameters and only adjust a couple you really need. Enter Renaissance Axx! It optimizes behind - the - scenes parameters for stringed instruments and plucked synth sounds. The outcome? Easy - to - use with high - end studio compression sound. Features: Dial up perfect compression in seconds with just 3 controls; boost guitar sustain and bass fullness; use it before amp sims for smooth distortion; works great with plucked synth sounds; calculates ratio and release time automatically; comes with 28 amazing presets; ensures more consistent levels for better mixes; informative metering speeds up adjustment; choose from different skins; automatic limiting catches peaks.

Using the Waves Renaissance Axx is a breeze. First, power it on and start adjusting the three main controls to get the perfect compression for your instrument in seconds. If you're using it with a guitar, turn the knobs to increase the sustain. For a bass, aim for more fullness. Place it before your amp sims to add a smooth, creamy distortion to your sound. It also works equally well with plucked synth sounds. There are 28 presets, so you can start with those and then tweak as needed. The metering will help you speed up the adjustment process. You can choose from different skins to customize its look. Just be aware that the automatic limiting feature will catch occasional peaks, which is great but might surprise you if you're not expecting it. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry place and clean it gently with a soft cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture.
