Tag Archive: DBX

I’ve had all of just a single morning with the SixtyFive & i’m impressed.
Is it “exactly” the same as the hardware?, no.
Is it a great sounding compressor with the DBX vibe?, yes for sure.  With it’s feature set & sound I highly recommend & the price makes it a no brainer.

I’ve upload a few quick comparison files.  AUTO = AUTO setting. MAN = Manual settings

I’ve also included the blind test files from Mr. de la Mancha himself
“you get the dry audio first, then 2 wet samples, one is the hardware dbx165A, the other the software sixtyfive (not necessarily in that order) I’d be really interested to see how you think they compare. Can you tell which is the hardware?”

I often find myself comparing/testing my arsenal of compressors of both hardware & plugins to find just the right tool for the sound.  I have decided to organize an ever-growing collective pool of these examples as i create them. The intention is to have a audible reference of the different compressor characteristics.

For those that want to contribute, the more the better. Upload a before & after examples of the compressor being used.  Or download my raw wav files & contribute to the list.  Feel free to upload the examples into my drop box & I’ll post the results.
