Excellent
I think so. I've compared it against probably a dozen other compressors at this point, for mastering purposes, and I find it always sounds at least a little bit better. It's also really forgiving (or as a lot of people over on Gearslutz described it, "respectful of the material") and easy to dial in.
It's not going to make drums super aggressive or anything but it's really nice glue and polish

It is a remarkable master buss plugin compressor, a true "groove" machine.
Do the following test: take two semi-coherent distinct drum loops and put MDE in the master buss.
Play with the speed settings at 1-2 db compression. It can make them sound like they are part of the
same groove.
It is not magic, but it is quite uncanny!

Anyone compared MagicDeathEye to other top-notch compressors, specifically the Pulsar Audio Mu, Fuse Audios Mu-Leveller / Limiter, Sonimus TuCo and Klanghelm Mjuc ??
I feel like 2019 will enter audio gear history as the year of variMu compressors and tape cassette emulations!

I only compared to Pulsar MU and MJUC. MDE is a gentler compressor, you almost don't hear it compress, but absolutely in the same league as all the big dawgs.

I respectfully dissent.
This plugin and the original hw unit it models are not a transparent compressor used for
volume increase (hence inaudible when volume-matched) but a compressor revered
for its musicality.
The effect of MDE on the mixbuss, when used even at a 1-2 db or more GR and when properly timed
with the groove of the music, is very strongly discernible even to the untrained ear.
