A Transparent Mastering Compressor for Your Toolkit

The elysia alpha compressor V2 gives you the sound of elysia’s revered Class A analog hardware — a studio benchmark for transparency and musicality. Our updated version gives you every nuance of the original’s discrete circuitry for increased clarity, punch, and dimension for your masters.

Take Control of Your Dynamics

elysia alpha compressor V2 gives you ultimate control of the dynamics of your mix. Use Auto Gain to maintain perfect level balance on your master bus — so you can focus on getting the best mix, instead of detailed gain staging. Or engage the Gain Range Limiter to prevent over-compression while keeping your mix open and natural.

Parallel Mix Perfection

Go beyond traditional compression with Parallel Mix control, letting you dial in exactly how much character or transparency you need. Perfect for adding cohesion to your full mix or depth to individual tracks, elysia alpha compressor V2 is equally at home on your mastering chain or in creative mixing applications.

The Next Evolution of a Modern Classic

With Mid/Side processing, Stereo Width, and Mono Maker controls, the elysia alpha compressor V2 brings even more spatial control to your workflow than our previous version. And with enhanced modeling, you’ll get faster transients, deeper lows, and an open, 3D sound that’s worthy of the world’s best analog studios.

    More magic, less understanding
