MusicMan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 They've released so many flashy compressors since this one, yet whenever I test them, this still holds its own and I often reach for it in preference to many of their others ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Guess I’m too spoiled having bought most PA plugs for $5 (or free). Especially the old ones like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Walton Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hopefully the upcoming update adds GUI scaling. Otherwise a missed opportunity as this one could really use it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly NOT its clean easy to use interface. It's a Swiss army knife of a compressor with mid/side, built in clipper and some controls for shaping the tone. It can be really transparent, but also allow you to modify the overall sound quite heavily in a direction you choose. The workflow is fluid. I do get your point about the interface! Haha.. for me this in ways reminds me of Tokyo Dawn Labs TDR Kotelnikov.. these two are probably the only compressors where I've felt I need to read the manual.. and maybe watch a tutorial ? And not everyone gets mid/side either.. but spend the time learning this one and it's got great power and versatility and of course the most important.. great sound ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Another alpha compressor lover here. I bought it because elysia mpressor is so good, and because White Sea Studios gave it a rave review. It looks intimidating at first, all those knobs and switches, but the thing is, you don't have to use all of them. Stick to what you know, attack, release, threshold, and makeup gain and leave the rest turned off until you've got some time to play with them. Tip: it comes with 22 presets. You can access them via the "VST3" menu in Cakewalk's plug-in UI. This goes for many other PA products as well. Other tip: I think there's a tuner that goes for $5 somewhere on PA's site, I used it for order padding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only when it's on sale. Right now, bx_tuner is $19, but the pedals are $9.99. I didn't find anything cheaper for padding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total $14.98 for an Elysia Alpha Compressor is a good deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
