Killer
This thing is true Killer. Smash your drums on the bus or Compress your Master file - either way it is my go-to choice for final tweaks. Highly recommend,BUT must be use with head - don't expect Magic,use it reasonably.

I wonder in the mix
Shadow Hill has done a tremendous job in creating a compressor that will lift up your music to higher heights, truly the settings on this particular compressor gives you an amazing amount of variation that you can use to color your sound. I have been a musician, singer, songwriter, for 40 years and I can truly say that the shadow Hill compressor plug-in is the way to go. The beautiful thing about this particular plug-in is as with all the plug-ins from universal audio, you just put it on and watch it do its thing. The smoothness of the knobs are really amazing, it's like you can almost grab it with your hand and turn them, even with the mouse its easy.

the Shadow know...
I'm a recent convert to the UA family... and I couldn't be happier. The Shadow Hills was one of my custom bundle that I bought and it makes me sound like I'm a genius! If only I could use the plug in on all areas of my life. Thanks UA.. great job!!

I tried not to like this compressor and at first I didn't!
Why did I try not to like it?
1. Because it looks pretty... and usually that means that it doesn't perform well.
2. Peter Reardon just seemed a little obnoxious to me.
3. It is waay to heavy handed for a master bus.
That being said, this compressor shines on vocals. It really does. I think that is its strongest application actually.
If you would like to hear some vocals processed through this then check out https://soundcloud.com/rialety. "Steppin Out" has Shadow Hills all over it.

Great plug in
It is a great plug in until I upgraded to pro tools 11 and now I can't use it. I wished avid had worked with other third party plug ins before they changed the platform so they won't work. I hope that UA is working on a fix so I can use it and my other UA plugins.

love it
very nice, love this tool for my masters, one of the interesting features of the plugin is its ability to treat the left and right channels either as a stereo pair or independently. Not only does that mean that each channel can compress separately if required, helping to maintain the stereo image, but it also allows different settings to be applied to each channel.

VERY GOOD, CAN NOT BE WITHOUT IT.
Excellent, essential, be sure to purchase it. Your master will be perfect with this plugin, use it in a mastering is like connecting a ferrari.

what can i say....STRONG
I have used a lot of mastering units. I currently use Avalon 747 for my 2buss. With the Tube warmth, the incredible EQ and the very smooth compression this is my main go go.
I have been druling over the SHMC for a year now,went to Vintage King Nashville to see one. When I had to chance to do the Plugin thing I went for it. I am very happy with all the differen sounds this thing has. it is very think in sound, you know what it is when y ou hear it. I does not "pump"...and will really glue and smelt your tracks as one. Use the low pass to keep the lows virtually untouched. Cons...I would have loved to see more presets from the pros on different subjects i.e. Kick drum, Male vocal light, med, and heavy, skybluenashville.com

The man who has no imagination has no wings.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Great compressor for coloring and bussing!
What a beast! This isn't one of those compressors you're going to want to use on everything (opto duh) but it kills on drum buss! Keeps the kick and snare fat while adding some nice "glue". I Haven't experimented with it too much on 2-bus but when used lightly it adds some nice coloration. I have never heard the hardware so I cant say how well it emulates it, but this is definitely a must-have compressor in anyone's arsenal! Great buy.

Fantastic Mastering Compressor
I'd be lying if I said I had tried the real thing, but I can say that this is a phenomenal mastering plug. It also has gotten some use on drums. If you only buy a few plugins, make this one a priority.

A magical plugin. \\0/
just load it anywhere. It's magical
I could hear sounds I never heard before, and that's happened on my own tracks!
Great plugin, maybe the greater one

Excellent Buss Compressor
After reading and hearing rave reviews of the SHMC, I figured I would go for it. After playing with it for about 15 minutes, I took the new Slate Digital VBC off of every stereo buss of an album I was mixing and replaced it with the SHMC. It seems to cleanly fatten the sound of my mixes. It's hard to make it sound bad or pump. Being able to manipulate the signal with the opto stage before hitting the discrete stage is very useful in stereo buss compression. Looks great, sounds great, and the hi-pass filter is simple but very valuable!

tame extremly dynamic wah wah sax
I am a saxplayer and the shadow hill compressor tamed my wah wah - sax recording extremly well. It still sounds awesome dynamicly although it is compressed.
I don't know how shadowhill can do this but this compressor my first choice for dynmaic saxophone recordings.
Good to keep the saxsound well even in a house-production.
5 Stars !

Best comp
Best compressor for general purpose and mastering.
Great UI, very beautiful.
Great sounding, larger than life, smooth like silk, high headroom never distorted. no one comp plugin can come close.

My new fav
This guy took a bit of getting used to with the two comps interacting but once I got the hang of it, this has become my go to buss comp. It has a sheen and clarity to it while still being able to create a punchy up from sound to tracks. It does things none of my other comps can do.

A Mixing and Mastering Gem
UA has amazing compressor plugins. And in that sea of greatness, I absolutely love this one! It has proven so versatile-- with the two types of compression that can be used individually, or linked together. I generally use it on the master buss for mixes, and in most of my mastering chains. The switchable output section, along with the sidechain feature make it a breeze to dial in the sound of the low end as well as the clarity of the highs, on anything I'm working on. And the fact that it's light on system resources means that I can also put it on other busses in the mix. A must have.
