Happily, though, ’the rest of us’ can get our mitts on official plugin clones of both at a fraction of the prices, thanks to this collaboration between Sefchick and DDMF. Ian Sefchick’s fabulous Fairchild 660-inspired Magic Death Eye and Magic Death Eye Stereo vari-mu compressors are about as exclusive as they come, what with his day job as an engineer at Capitol Records preventing him from building them at any sort of speed, and their availability being limited to the US and Canada. A simplified Mix version is included as well, for use on individual tracks.Ĭheck out our article showing the Elysia Alpha Compressor In Use The Alpha is quite simply one of the tastiest and most adaptable mastering compressors on the market, and Brainworx’s plugin twin has to be seen as representing amazing value, given its authenticity.
Developer Brainworx has applied its formidable component modelling chops to virtualising every individual transistor (one of the hardware’s big selling points is its discrete Class A circuitry) in order to capture that famously open sound, and everything is in place, from the empowering Auto Fast Attack and Release settings, Niveau filter, and dry/wet mix control, to the feed forward mode, mid-side routing and soft clipper. If DS1-MK3’s all-digital architecture doesn’t float your mastering boat, you might want to check out Plugin Alliance’s exacting virtual take on Elysia’s Alpha – an achingly luxe box of tricks that would set you back over ten grand in material form.
