My favorite Distressor
This is my favorite 'Distressor' plugin! I use it in all my mixes !
I really like using this plugin on snares or in parallel on drums. I also love using it in parallel on the lead vocal when I want a sound that's a bit more transparent than the 1176, for example.

Tip for developers
Excellent performance from UA. Excellent sound from the original. The only minus is the design of the plugin. Personally, I want the legendary things to remain in the design of plugins in their forms. As, for example, a plugin was made in the design 1176. Because people who cannot buy the original want to see as much of this original as possible in the plugin (this only applies to the design). And adding various goodies to the plugin, here we cannot restrain the chef). I hope the UA team listens to the advice, because they do good things, and I want them to be even better.

great for voice
As a voice actor this is an awesome tool. I am only starting to discover the possibilities. Adds organic power to my voice, very granular

Just got this one and need to have more time with it.
Put it through presets after I watched the training videos.
Happy - happy - I purchased it.

Perfect hybrid.
One of the first plugins I've put on my drums and thought, "I don't wanna be without this." Can get really close to an 1176, but can get really slow and punchy. Awesome on kicks and snares.

S. Apted
Super versatile
This plug-in is super versatile and works on everything including mastering. We use it on almost everything we record. It’s really the only compressor you need if you only want one! An absolute must for anyone recording at home.

Usual for me
Will be usual for me insturment
B. DESAULT
Truly effective
Very amazing...it's radical, pure or nasty in the cuts, and has a grain of folly. One of the most originals from all the uad's that I have.

Distressor decision
Wasn't sure whether this EL8 would be a real improvement to my studio or simply "another piece of gear" but it's rapidly proving to being essential, & far more flexible than I expected.
Highly recommend!

NICE SOUND
Good plugin, good sound and I like it.
D. Gill
Adding bite
Getting used to this plugin, but sounding promising. Many hours of fun to be had getting that sound you want. My strat sounds excellent when compressed (all four buttons pressed down)
A. Ellis
Great Tool
Brilliant compress that does that little extra!
D. Ayala
One of a Producers best plugins
Drums, bass, and vocals sizzle with this amazing plugin. Its reputation is monumental in past and current praises.
D. Leftridge
Most Musical Compressor Plugin
Hands down the most musical compressor in my arsenal. It has become my go to for everything. Especially as the parallel compressor right on the drum bus thanks to the mix knob.
