Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor Compressor Reviews

I’ve just started with it, but so far I love on a drum bus for punchy transients. On a bass track I used it to get more articulation without destroying the transient and tone. Not sure about vocals yet. I’m kind of hooked on the LA-2A for vocals but I do like to experiment! I love the Universal Audio plugins.

I am not a pro, but I can tell it's super fun to play with this one. It is super versatile and sounds great.

There are many cases in which you "should" use it and even more in which you should PLAY AROUND with it.

The plugin has a great performance and doesn't cause any lags. I am 100% happy with this one and can only say: If you need a massive, versatile Compressor with great performance and clear interface (easy to understand), then I can recommend to buy this one here from Universal Audio.

Thanks guys for your work!

(Find me "Djuni" on YouTube and you can find some examples of how it sounds in a creative metal production!)
