The Waves API 2500 Stereo Compressor Plug-In is a versatile dynamics processor that lets you shape the punch and tone of mixes with absolute accuracy. Its dual channel design lets the API 2500 also function as two separate mono channels via a single compression setting.

The Waves API 2500 Stereo Compressor Plug-In is a modeled vintage compressor plugin developed in association with API. Created to let you shape the punch and tone of mixes with absolute accuracy, it features switchable 3-position Thrust high-pass filter, variable link left and right channels, 3 variable link filter types, 3 compression modes (soft, medium and hard knee) and more.

Using auto-makeup gain, you can adjust Threshold or Ratio while automatically maintaining a constant output level. With both “feed back” and “feed forward” compression types, the Waves API 2500 boasts a wide range of incredibly musical parameters which have made it a favorite of engineers the world over.
