RCL - Renaissance Compressor
The Renaissance Compressor is a classic, warm compressor/expander with a simple interface. The Waves
ARC™ compressor algorithm dynamically selects the optimal release time for a wide range of inputs. As lev-
els fluctuate, ARC responds much like the human ear and produces high RMS levels (lower peak-to-RMS
ratio) with greater clarity than most compression algorithms.
Most compressors use one set of time constants to handle overall RMS levels and peak transients. ARC ana-
lyzes overall levels and peak transients separately and sets a faster release time for peak transients than for
levels over the compression threshold. Dynamic variation of the release time delivers more constant com-
pression with fewer artifacts, allowing the Renaissance Compressor to function simultaneously as a leveler
and fast compressor.
Classic 5- control setup is at the core of the interface, supplemented by a Release Mode button
(ARC/Manual), plus the gentle Character control (Warm/Smooth), and the Behavior control
(Opto/Electro).The Classic 5 interface includes: a Release Mode button (ARC/Manual), a gentle Character
control (Warm/Smooth), and Behavior control (Opto/Electro).
Release Mode
This button selects between Auto Release (ARC) and Manual.
ARC mode uses the Waves auto-release technology. You set the release time as an overall scaling factor and
ARC varies it from there depending on the input signal. Its character is similar to very responsive vintag
program compressors but also works extremely well for individual tracks.
Manual mode is fully manual, with no ARC (Auto Release Control).
