It's at the top of the food chain of software compressors.. top three stuff. So I would say it is expensive but worth it. One of the very, very few plugins I can mistake for hardware as far as the sound goes.
totally! Always test a new compressor these days and omg, hard to bet this one, and Kotelknikov, different animals....Major Tom from Stillwell its another among the best to me
Thank you so much for keeping your word and reviewing this! There’s a lot of hidden features this plugin has that I appreciate, but I like to use it as a saturator in the mastering stage. Love how it gives me analog sound in the box. The auv3 version is only $39.99 and sounds exactly like the desktop version which makes it worth it imo
This is Secret Weapon on Vocals.....this one and mono...sounds great..got them both...2 of my favorite comp plugins...if you want you album to sound great....you gota have really good plugins for mixing, tracking and mastering
I think the album Settle by Disclosure sounds really good, one of my favorite sounding albums, actually, and they use the built-in compressor for vocals, built-in EQ, mostly Logic plug-ins actually except for the use of a bit crusher plug-in, effect, tricks, and then an external synthesizer for a couple of whooshes. But if you’re looking for a specific kind of character to the sound, I think plug-ins like magicdeatheye can be the ticket. For example, I’m not sure grunge would be as easy to produce with logic plug-ins, or you could, but it would be a different flavor.
We live in times of a lot of competition. You’re right though, plugins require support and once it’s gone it’s gone. Comparing them to hardware is fine for the sound but part of the price of the real deal is the investment. Also they never sound quite as good, close but each unit is unique. Better to sell twice as many plugins at half the price in many ways, makes stuff popular as PA found out.
I completly Disagree....this is hands down the Best analog Sounding "Digital Comp for Vocals...." going in with the Mono...and Widening in Post with the Stereo...this is definately the best "Digital Opto Plugin...online...." this Blows UAD Capitol Comp and bx opto and IK Media Opto and Tone Empire Opto Red....awayyyyy!!!!
I own both of them, the stereo and the (HW) mono version. It sounds fantastic on the master bus. My inner child want to yell "How dare you say it is shit!!!" But dammit, first, I like you guys too much to do so and second, I agree regarding the price. UAD is giving away their plugins for sale prices, there isn't any decent justification to keep the MDE that expensive.
One of my favorite plugin compressors that i actually use on every mix 😊
Magic Death Eye may be pricey (I can't remember what I paid years back) but it's soooooooooo worth it. A fabulous software compressor and very handy.

Love yours videos, format, length, content ! Last days you mentioned the idea to make a "5 best compressors" video, what about it? Will be very nice.
👍 We already did top 5 mastering Compressors....we'll do a top 5 vocal compressors soon. 👍

I agree.....its sad..I have both of them...but DDMF...is sort of hanging themselves...LOL
Sirs, if I may be so bold as to suggest the Neold U17 and the Neold V76U73, I would love to have your opinion.
We'll have a look. 👍
