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

The classic!

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.

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
