Façonnez votre son avec la seule émulation complète du Distressor
Le plug-in EL8 Distressor Compressor vous permet de retrouver toutes les fonctionnalités, et bien sûr le son du compresseur original. Comparez-le aux autres émulations du marché, notamment son temps d’attaque ultra-rapide, et vous comprendrez rapidement en quoi le Distressor UAD se distingue des autres plug-ins.
Obtenez un ratio de compression parfait
Le nombre impressionnant de ratios de compression – 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 6:1, 10:1, 20:1 et Nuke – est ce qui fait la grande force du Distressor, car chacun produit un son singulier. Utilisez l’option 1:1 pour réchauffer doucement des synthés ou des cordes sans les compresser, mais en profitant de ses harmoniques musicaux. À l’inverse, activez Nuke pour obtenir des prises de pièce spectaculaires ou un mixage tout simplement explosif.
Différents modes de distorsion pour colorer votre son
Les célèbres modes Dist 2 et Dist 3 du Distressor vous font bénéficier d’une large palette de textures sonores. Vous pouvez ainsi profiter des harmoniques pairs, ou même d’une combinaison d’harmoniques pairs/impairs, pour densifier délicatement ou au contraire saturer totalement votre son.
Un traitement ciblé grâce à de puissants contrôles sidechain
Les contrôles sidechain du Distressor vous évitent tout effet de pompage indésirable dans les graves, ce qui est parfait quand vous traitez votre bus de batterie, tandis que le réglage Band Emphasis adoucit les voix stridentes et les pics désagréables dans la région critique des médiums. Vous pouvez également utiliser les fonctionnalités exclusives au plug-in, notamment le mixage Dry/Wet pour appliquer rapidement une compression parallèle à un bus de mixage ou un groupe d’instruments.
“The UAD EL8 Distressor feels just like the hardware, giving me results that I’ve been missing in the box.”
– Jacquire King (James Bay, Kings of Leon, Tom Waits)“The Distressor is capable of such radical compression tones, that it becomes its own instrument. I’m confident the UAD version will become just as useful as the hardware.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)“The Distressor is the perfect all around compressor, and no studio should be without a few of them. Now with the UAD Distressor, you can have as many as you need!”
– Vance Powell (Jack White, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs)“From subtle compression to destruction, the Distressor handles everything with style.”
– Hector Delgado (A$AP Rocky, Selena Gomez, Lana Del Rey)“The Distressor truly is the desert island dynamics tool, for controlling levels or creatively reshaping instruments into sounds that couldn’t be heard otherwise.”
– Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Future Islands)Watch The Reviews

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.

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

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
Y. Elkayam
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.
