Inspired by Excellence
The MagicDeathEye takes its inspiration from the legendary Fairchild 660 compressor, an incredible feat of engineering. Vintage 660s now fetch thousands of dollars on the secondary market, and their footprint spans numerous classic recordings from Abbey Road Studios as well as retro-modern tracks from Grammy winners like Adele and Amy Winehouse. With MagicDeathEye in your toolkit, you can expand the same brand of natural compression that sounds warm and open. Suitable for everything from drums to vocals. MagicDeathEye includes six timing settings, a trio of attack settings, an optional 150Hz sidechain highpass filter, and variable gain. Sweetwater studio pros on the hunt for vintage-style compression with modern perks concur: you'll feel like you've struck audio gold with the MagicDeathEye powerful utility.
Note: While MagicDeathEye models mono hardware, it can perform in stereo as well.

Accessible variable-mu compression
When DDMF and Capitol Records mastering engineer Ian Sefchick (Iggy Pop, Neil Young, Cold War Kids) got together to plan a collaboration, they discovered a grave injustice was afoot: true mu-variable compression like MagicDeathEye’s inspirations was only available at the greatest, most exclusive studios in the world. The MagicDeathEye successfully balances the scales with accurate mu-variable compression that’s eerily similar to hardware units. The mu-variable vacuum tube design is prized for its analog sound that feels open and smooth —it's an essential for studio enthusiasts looking for a natural compression plug-in built with care.
