The h comp Black Friday deal covers the H-Comp Hybrid Compressor from Waves, with 79% off bringing the plugin to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
H-Comp is a compressor plugin that pairs modern digital precision with an analog-modeled sound. The maker says it blends the accuracy of current compressors with the character of tubes, transformers and transistors.
Most character compressors give you one fixed flavor. H-Comp lets you pick from four analog personalities instead, and the maker says each one affects both the dry and the processed signal.
Waves says you can use it to warm up current tracks with a vintage vibe, add punch to rhythm tracks and loops, or sweeten vocals with a tube-style sheen.
The design draws on classic SSL, API and V-series models.
The Punch control is the one to look at if you know vintage hardware. Waves says it improves on those devices, where the punch behavior was fixed. Here you set it yourself.
The peak limiter works as a ceiling. It keeps the level from overloading whatever sits next in your signal chain.
The dry/wet control makes parallel compression a one-plugin job. You blend the compressed signal with the untouched one inside H-Comp, with no extra bus or send needed.
Tempo-synced release means the compressor's recovery can follow the groove. Lock it to the host tempo or a BPM value, or dial in a time manually if you prefer to work by ear.
The H-Comp VST plugin runs on both platforms. Here is the list of requirements:
If your DAW loads VST, AU or AAX plugins, there is a format to match on the system versions above.
