“El Rey” is the third plugin of our DIAMOND series, created by Acustica Audio and Studio DMI, in collaboration with multiple GRAMMY®-nominated producer, songwriter, musician and mixing engineer Greg Wells and including exclusive presets from some of the industry's most important names ever.

Details

El Rey brings ultra-smooth, velvety and unprecedentedly musical compression to the digital domain, like never before. Acustica Audio’s esoteric touch made it possible to ‘port’ the sonic soul of this unit over from hardware to a world dominated by DAW-based studios, ready for you to use and replicate in your sessions and to give your productions an extremely articulate analog tone, which you cannot find elsewhere.





Signature presets from the industry's top pros.

We didn't just include some general presets. For the first time in history, a single plugin concentrates such a huge amount of talent, technology, and prestige that we, at Acustica, are shocked by the results. Now you can easily shape your mixes using the same approach like some of the best pros in the industry, so you can get top results in no time.

The release of El Rey marks a breakthrough event in the audio community, raising the bar to a whole new standard of analog authenticity and musical character, which is the new paragon among software compressors.
