Prizzie Reed uses Waves MV2 as a dedicated feature send, a parallel channel that applies upward compression to pull a 90s-style guitar strum forward without just cranking the fader.
Upward compression lifts the low-level detail of the signal while gently clamping the peaks, creating a constant, upfront presence instead of a volume spike. It reads as closeness, not loudness.
After compressing, Prizzie rolls off some low end that got heavy from the added density. That EQ move keeps the effect focused instead of muddying the mix.
He treats this send as a go-to tool for spotlighting any element in a beat, calling it a simple move he leans on constantly across sessions.
