Waves BSS DPR-402

Description

Frequency selective compressor, limiter & de-esser

In the later eras of hardware, this processing powerhouse was huge for live sound, broadcast, and studios—thanks to VCA compression, peak limiting, de-essing, side-chaining, and 11 frequency-dependent responses. In the studio, it was known for its explosive compression sound on drums and drum machines.

The meticulous modeling truly captures the acclaimed sound, but this rejuvenated plugin also embellishes the original hardware with more features, added versatility, and extra ease of use.

Features:

• Provided the explosive signature sound for 80s drum machines
• Stereo, dual mono (with two sets of controls), or mid-side processing
• Two de-essing modes—wideband, or high frequencies only
• Two independent sidechains per channel
• Designed in close cooperation with BSS Audio
• Combine compression, limiting, and de-essing, or use separately
• Rear-panel hardware jumpers are now a drop-down software menu
• Control dynamics separately for selected frequency ranges
• Parallel processing with mix control, and added output limiter
