In the studio, you will reach for a compressor on just about every instrument and every session. Arguably the most important and most well-used studio processor, compression is the cornerstone to creating cohesive, consistent and punchy mixes. Designed with a simple and sleek interface, Comp 160 will quickly become your go-to compressor. No unnecessary complications or menus, just a refined interface that gives you the parameters you need to get the job done on virtually any instrument that enters your session.
Boasting fixed attack and release times with only Output Gain, Compression and a switchable Threshold level parameters, the Fat Comp 160 lets you take the guesswork out of your processing. This makes it easy to dial in punchy rock bass, consistent and levelled vocals and powerful drums. Whether you're a producer or mixing engineer, the PreSonus Comp 160 lets you achieve a professional level of volume throughout your entire mix or individual tracks without ever breaking into a manual.
The worst-kept secret in all of music production is that compression matters. Styled after famous hardware VCA compressor/limiters, the Fat Comp 160 accurately replicates the character and sound of the fabled studio classic. A musical response blends perfectly with your source audio, providing a transparent sound that works on just about any instrument. Even under duress, the Comp 160 remains highly musical with ultra-low distortion to keep your signal clean and precise. However, when pushed to extreme levels of gain reduction, the PreSonus Fat Comp 160 can produce harmonic saturation for an extra layer of grit and character to your sound, ideal for aggressive styles of music such as punk, rock and metal.
Compatible with both your DAW host and the PreSonus StudioLive Series III mixers, the PreSonus Fat Comp 160 Plug-in enables you to mix using high-quality plug-ins on stage, no matter what other equipment is available to you. Alternatively, recording studios using StudioLive Series III mixers can lighten the CPU usage from their computers by processing directly onto your digital mixer.
