Punchy Beast
Nearly every compressor can give a nice punch to your drum, but mpressor is that cream top on your coffee.

I did not think that this plugin is so good, used it for groups and a master channel, the result is simply fabulous!

Mr. Punch...
Even on the speaker of a smartphone the Mpressor puts punch into music... I´m using Genelec 1034a and you won´t believe the difference...

Key Features
100% Discrete Class-A Sound: Faithful recreation of the elysia• mpressor's all discrete circuitry and special character, authenticated by elysia• GmbH
Powerful Creative Compression: An outstanding universal compressor as well as an inspiring dynamic effects machine that produces fat and freaky sounds with maximum punch, beautiful colorations, and extreme processing options.
Auto Fast: The compressor can be very fast, but only when it is really needed. Auto Fast shortens the attack time automatically on fast and loud signal impulses.
Anti Log: If intentionally striking and creative compression is the goal, it definitely makes sense to turn things upside down. Anti Log provides an alternative characteristic of the release curve following an anti-logarithmic course. With Anti Log you can create many exceptional compression effects just by the push of a button.
Negative Ratios: The characteristic curve bends and goes back down! Heavy pumping, backward sounds, etc. Perfect for cool compression effects.
Niveau Audio Filter: Easy to use, yet very flexible, the Niveau Filter's main function is to change the proportions between high and low frequencies. By simultaneously boosting and cutting the selected frequency areas, it is easy to influence the character of a track ("bright" vs. "dark").
Gain Reduction Limiter: A specialty of the mpressor. This limiter is not placed in the audio path where you would usually find it, but in the control path of the compressor. Choose the maximum amount of gain reduction you want to allow at the twist of a knob.
Mousewheel Support: The controllers of the mpressor can be moved with the mouse wheel.

I love this compressor so much. It's so versatile and the GR limit feature is incredible.

This is a very adaptable tool. You can get some superpuncy drums with some heavy compression in parallel, and it can treat stuff gently when you want. When it sounds this good it have to score some stars :)

This is my new go to for Drums.
It can add the snap you need and smooth out harsh transients with out killing the overheads.A. Lee
Very nice suprize
I thought I'd found all the compressors I needed - until I tried this amazing thing out. Great on so many things with my favorite place for it being the mixbus.

Very nice compressor
This plugin totally fixed a synth bass that I loved the sound of but I just couldn't get it to fit in the track. The "well defined" preset is also great for the master bus.
F. Johanns
Probably one of the best Plug-In Compressors if not the best.
This Plug-In Compressor is a beast (in particular for Drums).
N. Lifschey
Amazing compressor, but suffers from ancient UA approach to design.
This one star review is NOT for the sound of the plugin itself -- this is a fantastic-sounding plugin. The one star is for the fact that it has no wet/dry, you can't see the values of what you're adjusting, and there's no side chain. The Plugin Alliance version has two of these things (annoyingly, no wet/dry for some reason), so I ended up buying it on sale as well, so I can use it in a way that's, you know, modern. I've said this many times and will say it again as an absolute truth: UAD is in the dark ages with many of its GUIs and features: When you can't see or punch in the values of what you need, don't have a wet/dry mix control, and/or don't have a side chain input available. Time to get with the 21st century, UAD! I stopped buying their plugs a while back because of this, and encourage others to get the Plugin Alliance version instead so you can at least have some of the extra features that they give you. Sorry to be a downer, but reality is reality. :-)

Great Compressor !!
A friend had the real hardware unit of this was amazing bit of kit and the plugin version sounds as good to me very pleased !!
d. godard
Very good, but UA is a dinosaur
I'm a big fan of UA, I use a lot and love a lot of your products.
BUT!!!!!!, UA is the only developper that seems not to understand that digital world allows a lot of features that helps engineers and sound designers work faster and better. Why no pop up with value? Why no dry/wet pot? AND THE MOST IMPORTANT: WHY NO EXTRENAL SIDE CHAIN INPUT? This is a very important feature on the Plug in alliance (brainworx) version!!! And UA has NO ext side chain input on none of any plug in! SHAME!!!!
And I could talk about a lot of problems with Apollo Console software (bugs when recalling sessions with virtual inputs, only 2 aux busses, very bad routing possibilities -compared to RME for example- ).
People, this compressor is very good (especially with paralell compression and with an ext side chain to use as a ducker), but please buy it at plug in alliance so UA will perhaps understand that even if UA is very good for audio, they are very bad for handling and manipulating, pricing. Like Apple, they are leaders on this market and they make good money with it,... without trying to give a REAL GOOD service.
Once again, I love UAD (and Mpressor), but I'm upset about UA: DINOSAURS WITH BIG MONEY!
...And please forgive my english if it's not good...
5 stars for this comp
4 stars for this comp by UAD because NO EXT SIDE CHAIN
3 stars for UA . Not for audio but for the features (brainworx, slate and waves are much better about that)M. Gustafson
Changed the way I mix Drums!
This packs a punch. Not only is this compressor extremely flexible, but it has punch and character. When using it on a parallel drum bus ( my main reason for purchasing) I found this to give me everything I need. It can add the snap you need to liven up the drums and it can smooth out harsh transients with out killing the overheads. I was amazed how easy it was to switch from the compressor I have been using for years to this. best buy here I've made in a long time and that is saying something.
