  • THE BEST GETS EVEN BETTER

    ★★★★★
    by Stephen Buvoltz
    The Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor has been my favorite for quite a while now and now the Class A can be found on every project I'm recording and mixing in my studio!
    Versatile two-stage compression along with switchable transformer stages give a wide variety of tones and the Class A version includes the Brainworx extra unit with TMT technology! This is one sweet and transparent sounding compressor that I often use for acoustic instruments!
    It's amazing to me the complete control this can add to the sound of my original music and amp sim demos, I highly recommend it!

  • My new standard for mastering and drum bus

    The classic Shadow Hills compressor quickly became a standard in my mastering chain after its release, and it was soon impossible to imagine life without it. It also conquered the drum bus. Now there is the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A version, and puts a cream topping on the mastering process. It offers exactly the functions that enrich this unit. The graphics are excellent, and the sound reflects the original amazingly well. For me it is really the perfect choice in the mastering chain.

    This plugin sounds so good. It's a very versatile compressor.
    It's easy on your CPU, despite it being a mastering compressor.
    You get great sounds with little effort.
    If you used the hardware version, you already know it's a beast.
