Shadow-dow-dow-dow-dow

After watching a D Ramirez video on this, I had to give it a whirl on my master buss. The presets that it comes with are great. The Hard Preset is my favorite but I am also getting used to the Optical and Discrete sections on this beast. This compressor breaths magic. It's warm, clean and big sounding all at once. Puts my music right where I want it to be. I still have to get into the different options of style on this. A lot of options here. I really like the La-2 for mastering and this plugin just jumped right in and made me happier than it. Will be going back n forth with these two.

Phenomenal Compressor!!!

Absolutely love the way this pulls my music together. Very smooth compressor! Using this after Ampex Tape Recorder and before Manley Massive Passive EQ, Precision Maximizer and Precision Limiter. Such a healthy chain.

Thank you guys!

My master bus workhorse!

I have to admit that this plugin is a little intimidating, at least at the beginning, with all the parameters you can set. After some time I get used to it and now it's my preferred plugin for the master bus. Even with factory presets' is wonderful and gives that push to dynamics that is awesome.

awesome!

sounds like the real unit! the stereo width isn't as great as it is on the real thing (another reviewer said that as well and I agree), but hey, small trade off to have an virtual limitless amount of them and portable! woohoo!!!

Wow, I'm overwhelmed!

I am a great fan of UA plugins. I own about 50% of all their available plugins and can't wait to purchase more. As with all other UA plugins, the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor is a great tool and brings the advantage of being able to use several instances at the same time - as opposed to a hardware unit with mostly just one possible instance. The SHMC is very versatile and the limit in its application is just your imagination. Amazing how, nowadays, you can setup your studio with gear that would have been unaffordable in the days of my youth! I just love producing professionally sounding music with these tools. THANKS!!!

Well worth the significant cost

Well, it's going to take a special type of compressor to make me break out the wallet from its hiding place but this is it.

Currently I'm remixing and remastering 70s soul tracks for a specialist label and the SHC became completely essential over the demo period. It smooths brilliantly, adds dignity, and bestows a solid feel. It is one of those compressors that are termed musical and rightly so. It also works wonders on some modern house stuff I've been doing too. The 90Hz sidechain is where some of the magic occurs, find myself wishing other compressors having this feature. Use both halves of compression gently for beautiful results. Thanks UAD.

Get for getting that analog color

Really love the the transformer selections. Great for getting just the right color in your mix. The compressor does exactly what it says it should. Could not be happier!

Not just for mastering

This bad boy is suitable for many mixing/production needs as well as being the perfect addition to your mastering chain.

Never heard like this before

I tried out the 14 days version for mastering, and I never heard like this before.
It was like... WOW...
I was in a dilemma to buy it... Because the half year sale is ended on July 4th, and I didn't buy it.
But luck was on my side, I bought it on July 5th in the morning with the reduced price... :)))
This is the No.1 tool on my mastering chain.
It sounds amazing. It's doing its job very good.
MIB has reached a new level.
Highly recommended.

Big up for Shadow Hills

Honestly , I never had the original one in my hands so I can't compare but , the work of this plug is really amazing. The possibilities are infinite and whatever could be the sound you look for, you just can find it ( with a bit of patience if you're not really good at using compressions). The very good point is that fine compressions are really powerful and transparent and fat compressions are always with an esthetic point really interesting which is rarely the case with plugs . Clearly , if I had to choose one compressor for my uad system, it would be this one.
