Clear, punchy, transparent and royalty
Honestly a great compressor. This thing has a lot of power. You can keep things clean or you can get pumping. I love how well it handles transients on the attack. Putting this on a bus or...

The Best Compressor.
Distressor, 1176s, LA-2As, DBX160s, this elysia compressor is hard to describe why, but it is just the best sound compressor I've ever heard. Watch some videos about if. I love Distressors,...

One of the best dynamics processors I own
I LOVE this compressor and use it on everything. Really shines on vocal dialogue because of how clean & transparent it is. The warming harmonics are subtle and beautiful. Auto settings...

Honestly a great compressor. This thing has a lot of power. You can keep things clean or you can get pumping. I love how well it handles transients on the attack. Putting this on a bus or trying it on an individual element in the mix will help you sculpt everything nicely. A great addition to anyone’s plugin collection. I love how this is clean when raising the background noise(reverbs, distortion and ambiances in the mix). This is going to be used a lot and I’m putting this on my mix bus so everything goes through this.

One of the best dynamics processors I own
I LOVE this compressor and use it on everything. Really shines on vocal dialogue because of how clean & transparent it is. The warming harmonics are subtle and beautiful. Auto settings across the board plus feed-forward give this thing some serious flexibility and ease of use.

Thank you Elysia.
Tökéletes mixre és utókeverésre. Kihozza a zene dinamikáját és ízlésesen adagolhatók az arányok. Csak ajánlani tudom.
Köszönöm Elysia.A. Rouffineau
Incredible
This adds depth and glue your mix. Beautiful.
C. Hoffmann
I feel like I've stolen a $10,000 compressor
Plus the MS for widening control is amazing, and the soft limiting is perfect. My favourite plugin rn.
E. Ananda
Nice addition for soft limiting
Use this to slightly limit my kicks. does a trick I just can't exactly explain, but it works.
R. Willem
Big and clean sound
Realy good for dynamic M/S processing on my Mix Bus. It’s big and clean.
M. Vice
Super clean and still unique
I passed over this compressor for years because I didn't know the name, ended up buying it in a bundle based on the customer reviews. The first time (and every other time) I used the compressor I quickly found a clear, big, pop-master tone that has eluded me for years. Fantastic.

Today it is my favorite mastering plugin.
Today it is my favorite mastering plugin. Great sound, which I often use in various tracks, including on the new M.D.E.N. album. This plugin was widely used!

Glue & Transparency
I'm just scratching the surface with this thing and so far Its doing what I bought it for, though I am still learning to use Its full potential, I do love it.
G. Erna
the best
for me the best compressor on the UAD platform !! very transparent sound .
not tones of color .. this plugin yes ... wel done UAD!!! ( Brainworx )E. Hasselberg
Fantastic
Once you find out how to use it you end up having it in every mix. Not only on the master, but on the drum bus as well. I now have 42 UAD-plugins and this one is one of my favourites.

This plug-in changed my life!
Wow, I own well over 100 plug-ins on the UAD platform and this is the first time I have felt the need to go back and remaster finished tracks. What a difference, what control I have now. It is now so easy to get tracks hitting between -9 and -8 LUFS like the labels want while retaining the openness, clarity and punch the artists that I produce come to me for. This compressor is so versatile it can replace many of the plugs that I use. If you are new to the platform I highly recommend this as one of your first purchases. I even think I can save a poor mix at the mastering stage with the alpha on my side. This plug-in sounds expen$ive!
