The Renaissance Compressor Black Friday deal from Waves takes 69% off this compressor plugin, which brings it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
Waves calls the Renaissance Compressor, also known as R-Comp, the gold standard for modern compressors. The maker says it brings back the warmth of vintage analog compressors while keeping the clarity and definition that software design allows.
R-Comp offers two attack and release behaviours: classic opto timing or the faster modern "electro" timing. You can also pick a warm or a smooth character.
Auto-release is built in. Waves says it keeps gain reduction silky even when you push the compressor hard.
Waves says the plugin is flexible enough to cover all the common compressor jobs on a channel or a bus.
On Mac, the Renaissance Compressor plugin runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15 as VST, AU and AAX.
On Windows 10 and later, it comes as VST and AAX.
