余計な雑味が加わらず、綺麗に音の輪郭が太くなる印象です。とても良い印象を持っています。

Use it on masters for saturation!
I give this 3 stars, would be 5 if there was a Sharc/UAD2 version. Not being able to load it in the UAD console seems like a major oversite, or perhaps lazy on the developers part, so that's why it's 3 stars.
Anyway, the sound of it is AMAZING. I find it super useful for bass and drums if I use it on groups but on a master it does some serious saturation that sounds very clear/thick. Being able to track with it would be nice, I hope UA listens to all of us and makes it available for DSP

A GREAT MASTER COMPRESOR
SATURATOR IS MAGIC

Grab it now!
I insert this compressor on my submix bus. I have the saturation button on and that's all I need. I rarely compress with it.

Absolutely Stunning!
Magic. There is not a single thing about this plugin that isn't awesome. If you have a decent mix, you won't need much more than this to put out a polished master. This plugin is quite an accomplishment. I couldn't understand the reviews, but when I read I see that many people are complaining about other issues like subscriptions etc. As far as the plugin goes - 5 stars all the way.

Nice and Smooth.

5 Stars for the sound but …
but… Native only, why? Please UA fix this problem for the users like me with tons of cores and Satellite systems.

5 Stars for the sound because is really impressive and the compressor adds a 3Dimensionality that no other software adds. The sense of depth is very pleasant just when you put it into the track and the space between L and R immediately becomes well covered and distributed. It's subtle but very nice to hear. I tried on my 2Bus chain instead of the actual comp I put on before. Just a few dBs in parallel mode and WOW.
Saturator is good but if used with care because it can smash everything.

Fantastic Mastering Compressor
This is a welcome addition to what was a somewhat lacking library of bus comps from UAD. Similar to the Fairchild the gain structure is a little weird in this plugin and very much made for mastering. I find it's most effective in M/S mode, but again you have to dial it in carefully. When you do it sounds great!

Ok, you got me.
I was skeptical. I don't know why. Every plugin I've purchased from UAD has been amazing. I picked it up just to see what the hype was really about. After placing it on a drum bus, I hear what everyone is talking about. Then I noticed, I can see what they're talking about too. Peaks from the snare and bass were tamed, and still had their punch and power. I have no idea why other compressors wouldn't achieve this without squashing the transients, but this one did it with ease and musicality. It's turned into a staple of my work flow within a day. Thanks again UAD!

I can’t see anything on all UADX plug-ins
Would be amazing if only I could use the full extent of the program. All the UADX stuff is 25% of the actually plug-in screen
J. Cummins

c. maskell
Subtle and amazing
Adds some magic that I like.
M. Åberg
A new favourite!
I am really pleased with this compressor! I like the Saturation and the Mono Fold functions as well! I use it both on Sub busses and the Mix bus.

Colorful Compressor
I don't use this for its "intended" purpose as a mastering compressor. Instead, I exaggerate the settings then blend it in parallel on individual tracks I want to excite. I really love the results and color it provides.
B. Knapp
great satisfaction
I use it for mastering but also for the mix bus
...in short, perfect
P. Bossio
Love the Product but....
I love the performance of this compressor however I'm VERY dissatisfied with UAs admin of the products I bought and supposedly own. Most of the time I can't use them because I don't have internet in the area I'm mostly working. Love the plugins but can't use them.

Flavor
If your master is lacking something and you can’t put your finger on it, this unit will give you that something .
J. Telge
Fine and subtle refinement
The CMC belongs to the master!
Use headroom control for more compression. 1-3 db is exactly the right amount. If you want more, you should use a different device.
I love this Compressor for exactly this fine and subtle refinement *****

I did not want to write a bad review for this but personally I feel like this unit just isn’t up to par. Needs revision.
Calibration seems off / finicky in about every way.
You cannot get a decent amount of compression unless slamming the front end and dropping the threshold or lowering the headroom knob and by that time it goes into saturation / distortion pretty heavily.
Every other UA plugin I own is practically flawless and I take no issue with any of them.
If I could request a refund or trade this plugin for another, I gladly would.
Your mileage may vary.
