Empirical Labs in an affordable format!

Absolutely essential plug-in for guitars, bass, keys, vocals… You get the idea. Works on everything!

Low key incredible usage!

I had other versions of this plugin but with the UAD manual giving such precise and useful info I love this version the most! Such a versatile comp that sounds amazing!

When it works, it works.

I believe this is the first 5 star I have ever given to any UAD plug that I own. Having used this plug for about two years, I believe it's a worthy tool that gets the job done. I have tracked vocals with it in Unison, as well as used it in a mastering chain post analogue Buss Comp and it worked its own magic at the right settings. I have tried it in mixing and I have not found a real use for it in that arena compared to other tools in my arsenal. When you find the sweet spot in your use case, you will understand what I mean by it works when it works. I am reviewing as a plugin tool and not comparing to the real hardware as I have never used the hardware.

Worth Every Cent

If you found yourself looking through the reviews for the distressor, you pretty much already have your answer. Yes, it's worth having this in your arsenal and yes, you will probably use this on most of your mixes if not all of them. Great saturation feel, and just a positive element to any vocal or instrument.

Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor Compressor

Excellent little Compressor. I had experimented with the Kiive unit so though an amateur was familiar with the layout. Though mostly rely on presets with some minor tweaking. Very Satisfied

One to rule them all

This thing is fantastic. Great on its own or so versatile to work with many other compressors

The distressor is amazing

I love the plugin of the distressor. It is amazing, I just wished there was the gain reduction showing on the pro tools mixer. Other than that it is perfect

Just wow!!

This sounds just like the original, and instead of buying a unit and using it on one thing I can put this plug in on whatever I like!! I love love love the mix knob…such a clutch addition.
