Waves: C6 Multiband Compress

[theNeologist]

So I'll preface by saying C6 has below the "Minimum number of letters" for the search function....so I apologize if this topic has been discussed.

I've been interested in purchasing the C4 plugin due to hearing so many good things about it....and then find out they now have C6 out. I figure that's prob made some improvements over the 4 worth checking into....

From what Waves site said about it, looks like you get 6 bands and also a sidechain...seems pretty cool to me to include the sidechain in there. But what are peoples thoughts on the 6 over the 4 and with that sidechain feature?? I'm not sure when it was released....but I have yet to hear anyone talk about 6 and only first heard about it from visiting the waves store....so I'm wondering if it was a fail or not...

C4 is a superb multiband. I used the Mcdsp for a while but i have come to the conclusion that i really like and need the C4. And if the C6 is an improved version of the C4 then iit is awesome, haven't tried it yet.

I just ordered it today.

Bought it shortly after release. Like the C4, an invaluable plug-in.

You do much side chaining with it?

Thats the main reason i got it to be honest.

Nope, never done it. Been meaning to for a while, just never quite get a chance to experiment since the balancing in my mixes generally doesn't require it.

Would really like to experiment ducking the core mids on rhythm guitars during solos though!

I have it but haven't really tried the C4. For whatever my opinion's worth though, I love it.

Sidechaining is also very good on the plugin.

I've done this with leads and it works great.

Plus it's the same price as C4 (from the Waves store, but you might be able to get it cheaper elsewhere) so you may as well just get it for the extra features.

Yeah I use it a lot too, with and without sidechaining, and I love it. Definitely worth the money.

can't remember where i read it, maybe over on geaerslutz, but can somebody confirm that side-chaining with this plugin only works in PT?
i'm working in reaper but plan on buying C6.
