The Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor is revered in studios the world over as the modern “must-have” compressor. Versatile with tons of color the Distressor picks up where the legendary UA 1176 and Teletronix LA-2A compressors leave off — giving you a modern tool that’s equal parts utilitarian and creative as heard on thousands of hit records.
Shape with the Only End?to?End Distressor Emulation The EL8 Distressor Compressor plug-in gives you all the features and tone of the original hardware. Simply compare other Distressor emulations for yourself and contrast the original hardware’s ultra-fast attack time to quickly hear where most plug-ins fail and the authentic UAD Distressor succeeds.
Find the Perfect Compression Ratio The crux of the Distressor are its staggering variations in compression — 1:1 2:1 3:1 4:1 6:1 10:1 20:1 and Nuke — each offering unique sounds. Use the 1:1 ratio to gently warm up synths or strings without compression while adding musical harmonics. Conversely the Nuke setting gives explosive excitement to room mics or your entire mix.
