And yes, you should fix your dbx and get it to use!
I've been meaning to fix the 163 now since I got it in the early 90s!! It's been sitting with my 117 and 154 noise reduction on top of my Sony two track open reel deck just looking cool for all those years! Seriously though, I've got a bunch of repairs and mods I'm doing at the moment so this is the perfect time to do it.

The Softube compressors in NI K11u are the VC76, VC2A & VC160 (1176, LA2A & dbx160).
I also have Klanghelm MJUC, Brainworx bx_opto Pedal and Lindell Audio 354E (three band Neve 2254) for character compression. The 354E is an absolute monster! I love that thing!! Same too with the MJUC.
