Waves C6 - Multiband Compressor (Native/SoundGrid, Download)

The C6 from Waves is a plug-in based on the company's C4 processor. The C6 takes the functionality of the C4 and adds two additional floating bands plus a sidechain feature for one-stop vocal and instrument shaping. Perfect for de-essing and de-popping in the studio or onstage, the C6 provides all the multiband compression and dynamic equalization needed to control, tame, and shape sound.

For mixing and mastering in the studio, the C6 allows for creative compression, dynamic EQ, flexible side chaining, and more. For FOH and monitor mixers, the plug-in provides control over dynamics and EQ, from reducing crowd ambience to in-depth vocal shaping. For auto-ducking of music and ambience under speech in post, the C6 sidechain provides the ability to carve out just the vocal frequency range, instead of attenuating the entire signal.
