The DBX 160 Compressor. The ULTIMATE drum compressor when mixing? (Free DBX 160 Plugin)
In this video, I look at multiple emulations of the classic DBX 160 compressor. Is it the ultimate drum compressor? Check the links below for each different emulation and a link for a great FREE DBX 160 emulation from Analog Obsession. This is not a comparison video. I use all of the emulations and love them all equally.
