Elysia Alpha Compressor V2 is a meticulously crafted emulation of one of the most revered analog mastering compressors. It utilizes the latest physical modeling techniques, along with a built-in Lehle transformer accurately modeled by Brainworx, to imbue the sound with authentic analog warmth. Offering a customizable UI optimized for modern, high-resolution screens, V2 represents the pinnacle of the Alpha Compressor concept.

Digital recreation of legendary hardware

The original Alpha Compressor is renowned for its exceptional compression precision and flexibility, delivering clean, controlled high-end compression while preserving the musicality of the sound, even at extreme settings. It's capable of subtle "gluing" effects as well as surgically precise shaping and correction.

Brainworx and elysia collaborate again

Building on the hardware and acclaimed V1 plug-in, V2 incorporates a host of intelligent new features, further expanding the control range and sonic expressiveness of the alpha compressor, providing a more efficient, precise, and pure audio processing experience for modern workflows.
