VC 160 is a vintage tube compressor audio unit plugin from Native Instruments, part of the Vintage Compressors suite within Komplete Effects. It emulates the sound and behavior of classic tube-based compression hardware, offering analog warmth and character to vocals, instruments, and mix buses. The plugin works as an AU (Audio Unit) and requires a compatible host application such as Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, or other DAWs that support AU plugins. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
