ILOK is a internet Prison and total buuulllllshiiiiiit
This plugin is freaking amazing and a total waste of money because of their idiotic ILok system that needs constant Wi-Fi connection to their system. My PC can’t deal with the strain. I asked for a refund and their bot said. ‘No way’. A waste of my money, I bought IK Multimedia and will use that instead. Freakin idiotic waste of money. THAAAAANK YOOOOU! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGH!!!!!

The iLok racket
I cant imagine there ever being a problem with any plugins themselves, from UA. They are stellar. The only problem is software companies, UA included, who insist on perpetuating the iLok racket. The plugins simply need to be able to be licensed to a machine, not just "in the cloud", or on a iLok usb stick. Or, they must be able to be downloaded, unlocked...and thats it...no iLok anything. Perhaps its oldschool, but I do not ever have my studio machine connected to the internet unless I specifically have to update something or download, etc. Needing to be connected to the internet in real time, in order to use a plugin, in the future, will keep me from purchasing and using UA plugins.

Distressor comp
Admitted I wasn't quite sure how this would sound, but after using it, it's great not only to compress but add harmonic distortion. Yes it can be clean too, but I'm enjoying the distorted bass section with this.

A Beast !
One of the best compressors i use with la2a and 1176. Distressor is powerful, warm and tight on drums but useful on every track.

game-changer
The UAD Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor Compressor is an absolute game-changer! It adds just the right amount of punch and warmth to my tracks, making everything sound pro. Super easy to dial in, and it works wonders on everything from vocals to drums. Totally in love with this plugin—it's a must-have in my arsenal!

GREAT! But could use more pre-sets!
There are SO MANY PEOPLE ENGINEERS that have great presets. Look them up and get them on the pre-set list! WORD!!!

Hats off to UAD
This is an incredible plugin. I haven't used other compressors since I got the Distressor and the hardware is gathering dust.
Chapeu UAD.
