TheMost Beloved plug

You have to hear it at work to truly appreciate this remarkable recreation of a must have box.
this is not a fashionable Plugin, it's no fly by night gimmick in a nice skin....this plugin is a timeless workhorse that gives back far more than it's asking price commands. I'm grateful to own this. ThanksUA.

Must pay attention to audio image

This compressor can control the audio image in an exciting way. Especially if you pay attention to to the how the threshold and gain controls are opening or closing up the image. Usually use this before or after the SSL or 33609 Compressor. Does nice things for my drums in a mix when I dial in the attack and release. Maybe a steep learning curve maybe not but worth it IMHO.

Wow! Unbelievable dynamics and a great sound!

This week I had to master a track old-skool-style very loud, but I never got this loud before without the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor without loosing any of the energy of the track. It was just too easy to get this sound that it left me wondering where the snags are. But the artist loved it and the record company thought it was great. So.... I will be seing a lot of this compressor!

Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Lovely!

It is truly amazing the compressor, which is unparalleled. Very good for house music, if you want to squeeze a lot of drive. Lovely this one!

Me? Love it.

I know a mastering guy that uses UAD that bought it.
I heard him use it.
I bought it.
Now I use it.
Loving the glue and unity it gives to final mixes.

Reading other reviews that say it's good on individual instruments.
Can't wait to try.

Cheers

ps I'm a massive Brainworx fan and just found out they coded this... lovely work.

Great sounding compressor

Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor really gave my mixes some real attitude. I use this across my mix bus when printing a mix. I can hear the great difference with the nickel transformer on roots reggae track . A must have for me

I love this thing.

I have been mixing analog for the past 10 years.
I recently was forced to go back into the box.
It is plugins like this one that makes it ok!

I put this on the 2bus for everything.
It's also my first choice for vocal tracking (with just the opto engaged).

The Missing Link

This is what I've been after for SO LONG - something to musically catch and sweeten my mix buss by just a hair!! Imparts a silky thickness and musical grab that I am delighted with. In use on most mixes now!!!

Worth it!

I'm no professional and can't afford outboard gear. But UAD plugs have greatly improved my mixes and this compressor is just brilliant. Been using it as my comp on drum busses and sometimes on my master. Love the sound.

I'm in Love

I just love this compressor. It's very versatile and have so much personality. Sounds amazing! This is my new go to compressor. Great job Brainworx and UA!

Sneakily great

Didn't dig it the first few times I tried it. I kept on having people insisting to me that it was amazing. Gave it a third chance and then I caved. Now I can't get it off my 2-mix most of the time!

Transformer options are probably the biggest part of this plug for me. For the way I mix, I end up on Iron a majority of the time. I really don't rely on it for gain reduction [I keep it slow atk/med-fast rel on most songs, maybe 1dB GR at peaks], but the gain and transformer color options are the real cream.

I don't care for the optical section on 2-mix duties, though I haven't given it many chances in that department.

Nice work! Might have to try this on bass next - or get an Apollo and track bass thru this...

Shadow Hills Mastering Comp review

This is my new go to buss compressor. I've tried most aax/rtas buss compressors. I liked using the Slate Digital VBC was using an SSL G compressor (both are still great products) on hardware inserts. The Shadow Hills compressor gives the track warmth and dynamic character. Having the optical and discrete modes make it very flexable.

Mastering Tools Is What I Need

The shadowhills Mastering compressor I use onall my Recordings then the presision limiter to crank up the tracks to its highest commercial potential without peaking. ITS A PERFECT COMBO for me...I have several friends looking to mimic this formula at the end of the mastering chain and they will be hawking UAD when they have them on sale to purchase them...
