    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 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.

    Incredible Mastering Compressor

    This plugin saved me tons of money, I was about to buy a hardware bus compressor. No need for that with this ultra high-end transparent mastering compressor, which is perfect for the final touch to enhance a finished sound. Amazing job! Thanks!

    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, but I find myself reaching for this more and more than anything else.

    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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
