The Alpha Compressor plug-in is a digital version of elysia's renowned mastering compressor, faithfully capturing the unique sound and characteristics of its hardware predecessor. Developed by Brainworx, this compressor brings professional mastering quality into your digital audio workstation, offering precise control over dynamics with an emphasis on clarity and musicality.

While it excels in mastering applications, the Alpha Compressor is also designed to enhance individual tracks during the mixing process. A dedicated mixing version with a simplified interface allows users to apply its powerful compression features to any element within a project, making it a valuable tool for shaping sound beyond just final mastering stages.

This plug-in includes features such as mid/side and stereo processing, selectable compressor characteristics with feedforward and feedback modes, and frequency-selective sidechain filtering. Additional tools like parallel compression, a soft clip limiter for added loudness and headroom, and a warm mode for instant tonal coloration provide extensive options for sonic shaping and dynamic control.
