It's a go-to comp for buss, vocals & any solo instruments
It's a precise dual stage compressor. Screw the bad reviews. The harmonics
are rich and refined that it's quite hard to believe it's a software. The female vocals preset is brilliant and totally usable with a few tweaks on the gains. Crazy details without add unwanted lo-mids or taking away the body or lo end of the source. Cool Stuff.

The Mastering Compressor
Definitely a compressor designed for accurate, specific and clear sound result. Very pleased with the choice. I recommend it.

Very clean sounding
Very clean sounding. Using for stereo busses and pre-mastering. I like it and I have tube outboard and most of the U.A. compressor plug-ins. On sale helps!

Sounds like a Compressor!
I never heard or had opportunity to work with the harware unit but can say that after demoing this plugin and thinking about it for a while decided to take advantage of UA's great 30-40-50 sale.
This simply sounds like a great compressor, and I haven't gotten the same flavor out of any other in my collection. It really does sound great on the 2 Buss and love it on the Drum Buss as well.
Mixed a Jazz session and used this on the 2 Buss, comparing it to several others that I love and this MONSTER took the cake. It has a quality I love, maybe distortion, in a gentle way. Not sure.
Just Get it

Great plugin.
The Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor does take a little bit of time to get used to, but depending on the kind of material it's presented with, the results can run from mediocre to quite brilliant. What I do know from my own tests is that this plugin doesn't deliver the goods at all when the source material isn't well recorded - or if the mix buss isn't setup properly. Initially, I wasn't too sure about this plugin but I'm glad I spent the time getting to grips with it. Well done UA.

blown away!
wow. what is this thing doing?! it's adding so much richness and character while being so flexible! the range of different sounds you can achieve using the shadow hill is enormous: from subtle compression - to little fatting - to merciless pumping, but: all time adding this punch and openness. transparence. musicality..... there are so many words to describe it, but better get the demo and be impressed yourself.
this one got my favorite compressor on the 2-bus, but does an awesome job on almost anything else: vocals. bass. drumbus. guitars....... while not needing too much DSP (5.7% in mono or stereo use.... compared to Fatso 25,6% mono / 40,7% stereo.... or Teletronix LA2A 16,2% mono / 21,2% stereo..... WOW!

Compressor for dummies, Fool on the Shadow Hill ;-)
Cant go wrong with this excellent plugin. :-)
Add both punch and preserves the
transparancy at the same time. The
new goto in my mastering chain in WL7. :-)

Shadow Hills Compressor
Fantastic! I actually still have over 200 days of a complimentary demo left on it but bought the licence because it so cool. Love the selection of Nickel etc. really nice touch that has some great results. It is such a natural sounding device to have at hand that holds a really sympathetic but important position in a project like another band member!!!
I got a years kind of endorsement trial of all the plugs to help me decide what are essential for me and Shadow Hills is defo in with the essentials. It's in there!!!!

SHMC --- super clean awesomeness
it's just awesome... will take me a year or more to get really good at understanding this but then again all UAD stuff requires a good amount of time to learn and really understand intuitively... WINNING!

Run for the hills!
Don't try this plugin cause you'll buy it. I would put it on my bread if I could. A real beautyfier for just about anything.

Shadow Hills best Compressor Plug-In
This compressor is really impressive , versatile, give punch and loudness without destroying music. Actually my first comp for mastering , and vocal.
Universal Audio team , you do great job !
C. Cote
Excellent!
Try this compressor, you won't be disappointed. Surprisingly versatile; use it on tracks, busses, and entire mixes. The presets are very useful as well as a great starting point. The VCA circuit on the SHMC even does a great imitation of a DBX 160 giving kick and snare lots of smack. After about 24 hours of using it I was hooked! This is now an indispensable drum compressor for me. The side chain filter is nice too, prevents pumping. I also appreciate the large UI, which makes it easier to tweak just the sound you are looking for. UA, keep making the large UI's! :-)

The Shadow Hills Mastering is a great plugin.
It has a very clear sound. The stereo sections are very different to rule.

I tried this plugin and I became a fan
I tried the demo - this plugin really seams to be the missing part in my mastering chain!
J. Rodriguez
100% My mastering compressor.
I never had the privilege to test the hardware but I have for a wild a Theremionic-The Phoenix and I have to say , OMG.
I cant believe that this is a plugin.
Bas frequency is super power full and clean , top end very sweet but still clear and present. The mid frequency are well balanced and warm.
No matter what kind of music this is definitely an essential piece of equipment.
Thanks UA!!!!
J. Boback
Unbelievable!
UA did it again....as always!! You press the "demo mode" button and then you have to buy the damn plugin :-). I really didn´t think I needed another compressor but...HEY....how wrong was I!!
BUY IT!!
