Grammy-winning engineer Vance Powell (Jack White, The Dead Weather) and the Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor plug‑in.
Gestalte mit der einzigen End-to-End Distressor Emulation
Das EL8 Distressor Compressor Plug-in bietet Dir alle Funktionen und den Sound der originalen Hardware. Vergleiche gern andere Distressor-Emulationen und die ultraschnelle Attack-Zeit der Original-Hardware, um schnell zu hören, wo die meisten Plug-ins versagen und der authentische UAD Distressor triumphiert.
Finde das perfekte Kompressionsverhältnis
Das Besondere am Distressor sind die verschiedenen Kompressionsstufen — 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 6:1, 10:1, 20:1 und Nuke — die jeweils einzigartige Sounds bieten. Mit der 1:1-Einstellung kannst Du Synthesizer oder Streicher sanft und ohne Kompression aufwärmen und gleichzeitig musikalische Obertöne hinzufügen. Umgekehrt verleiht die Nuke-Einstellung den Raummikrofonen oder dem gesamten Mix eine explosive Spannung.
Füge Farbe hinzu mit Distortion Modes
Die legendären Dist 2- und Dist 3-Modes des Distressors liefern Dir eine breite Palette an Kompressionstexturen, mit denen Du Klangquellen mit geradzahligen oder kombinierten geradzahligen/ungeradzahligen harmonischen Verzerrungen formen kannst, von zarter Verdickung über poliertes Tape bis hin zu voller Sättigung.
Fokussiere Dynamiken mit leistungsstarken Sidechain-Reglern
Der Sidechain-Regler des Distressors beseitigt unerwünschtes Pumpen im Tieftonbereich, — perfekt für die Bearbeitung des Drum-Busses — während Band Emphasis schrille Vocals und harte Instrumentenspitzen in der "Power Region" zähmt. Zudem kannst Du "Plug-in only"-Funktionen wie Dry/Wet Mix für eine einfache Parallelkompression auf einem Mix-Bus oder einer Instrumentengruppe nutzen.
“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

Awesome Compressor
This Distressor is everything as advertised. I placed on my vocal buss and without adjusting any parameter, the vocals sound better. I don’t know how to describe ‘better’, other than stronger, clearer . . ., just noticeably better.
I’ve just begun to use this on other tracks, but everywhere I’ve placed it, it made things sound better.I. Kumpel

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.

briefly about Distressor
Great product, allows you to hear your synthesizers in a completely different way.
Gives the beats an interesting sound.G. Beretti
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.
