## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 4/5 — Great but needs a few updates for 5

*2022-10-23, version 1.0*

Great tool to get your drums banging in no time. compressor,eq and saturator all in one and good solid sound. As a new release it is lacking polish though. Minor things to make the workflow more efficient. For example it is still missing things like double tap to reset knobs or numeric boxes. So yet not a 5 for me.

### 5/5 — a top-notch dynamics processor

*2024-02-27*

This compressor is solid, and it gets the job done. The sidechain capability is great, and saturation by band is an added bonus. I’ve found that boosting saturation in the midrange adds a ton of warmth and character to my audio source. It’s also visually pleasing and very easy to use. Another fine app by FAC!

### 5/5 — Essential

*2024-02-25*

I use this on everything! Versatile, unique and sounds excellent. Lots to learn but start with the great presets 👍

### 5/5 — Medusa is killer

*2024-01-13*

If you wanna make something stand out, get Medusa. And the separate band saturation, just the icing on top

### 5/5 — Landslide!

*2023-03-15*

The most addictive dynamics processor on iOS imho.

### 5/5 — Spice up any audio

*2022-11-27*

Awesome tool for any iOS music producer.
Probably my favourite compressor because of its sound shaping and enhancing qualities. I like to use Medusa after Transient Designer, another super useful tool from FAC.
Five stars!!!

### 5/5 — Tremendous

*2022-10-16*

Saw this demoed on The Sound Test Room where Doug raved about it, a couple of minutes in and I pre ordered it. Tis most wondrous.

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2022-10-07*

Excellent stuff

### 5/5 — Another winner

*2022-10-04*

I admire this dev very much, works hard, super pro apps ! Gotta get em all! Great edge and sound with this, works great on drums, synths, and instruments!

### 5/5 — More, not the same

*2022-10-03, version 1.0*

Most IOS music makers already have half a dozen compressors. So why get this one? Because, FAC Medusa’s x-factor is what is described as ‘colourful character.’ In other words, it manages to sound unique, and distinct from other excellent compressors such as those by Tone Boosters, Fab Filters, etc. Quite often it is such distinctions that make the difference as to whether a song appeals to many ears. So if you have the cash, this is an app well worth the investment. And it’s fun. (-:

### 5/5 — Another Easy 5star

*2022-10-02*

It’s quick, it’s easy, it looks and sounds great. I’ve had it 10 minutes and I already love it. Thanks, Fred. It’s top notch.
