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

Distressor decision
Wasn't sure whether this EL8 would be a real improvement to my studio or simply "another piece of gear" but it's rapidly proving to being essential, & far more flexible than I expected.
Highly recommend!S. Datskevich

Adding bite
Getting used to this plugin, but sounding promising. Many hours of fun to be had getting that sound you want. My strat sounds excellent when compressed (all four buttons pressed down)

Drums, bass, and vocals sizzle with this amazing plugin. Its reputation is monumental in past and current praises.

Most Musical Compressor Plugin
Hands down the most musical compressor in my arsenal. It has become my go to for everything. Especially as the parallel compressor right on the drum bus thanks to the mix knob.

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.
