Transparent, frequency-targeted controls for compression dynamics.Maintains the character of the original source material even when extreme compression settings are applied.Provides the most sophisticated and complete set of dynamics control available.This version eliminates some of the more advanced features to make it easy to get great sounding compression quickly.ĭownload the fully-functional 14-day demo (no dongle required!) to find out for yourself why the elysia alpha compressor has become a fixture in the world’s finest mastering facilities. In addition to the full-blown Mastering version of the alpha compressor, Brainworx, in close collaboration with elysia, has also developed a simpler Mixing version. Using Brainworx’s advanced circuit modeling techniques, the alpha compressor plugin captures every nuance of its brilliant hardware bretheren and delivers it to your desktop where multiple instances of this beauty are available in just a few clicks. No wonder it is considered a mastering studio gem. Its enhanced functions far exceed the potential of normal compressors, giving users previously unimagined options for mastering and mixing. The alpha compressor delivers the “this is it” feeling of a finished song. Even when extreme settings are used, the sound characteristics stay clean and powerful. These benefits add up to an audio quality that is truly unrivaled. All components are of the highest grade available and exclusively chosen according to their sonic excellence. Even the sidechain and power supply use discrete circuits. Every part of its signal processing is based on single transistors running in class-A mode. This 100% discrete class-A analog beast provides an amount of openness and clarity unmatched in the dynamics processing world. It set new standards for audio mastering thanks in part to its M/S processing, parallel compression, and highly-responsive limiters and audio filters among other features.
The hardware alpha compressor is coveted for its professional dynamics processing, featuring innovative functions and absolutely uncompromising sound quality. The gold standard in analog M/S mastering compressors - elysia´s alpha compressor is available in a supremely accurate emulation plugin for a fraction of the price of the hardware version.
