I don’t think it has any advantage, except for the non-linear characteristics of the electronic components, unique to each unit, the software is more versatile.

Do you think hardware compressors have any advantage over compressor plugins?

Maybe, I don’t know really.

Thanks Steve, BPB & Kiive Audio for the opportunity Imo... the precious metals in some hardware compressors are an advantage Sound wise, digital emulation is so close. Blind test comes to mind

In reply to Laurence Bellinger. Oh yeah, definitely! My friend has a studio with some hardware and it responds with a vibe more than his plugins but accumulatively (many plugins), I can't hear the difference too much.

Hardware vs software can be quite equal given the correct sampling and modeling code. Some are not equal but many are these days.

Of course, hardware compressors and others have advantages over plug-ins, primarily in the fact that they do not take up the resources of your computer. Also the aesthetic and tactile feeling of a real device. If I had the opportunity, I would buy it)

Analog compressor are what most digital emulations want to be. There is an uncontrollably natural beauty from putting a sound through a compressor whether it’s compressing or not. Now I do believe the more we study and as technology advances there will soon be no difference between analog compressors and digital ones. In fact I hope this inspires and creativity for all effects.

I think it all depends on the plugin and the hardware being emulated! Sometimes the differences are so minimal…

In reply to Laurence Bellinger. It all depends on your workflow. If your gear is slways in your studio and you got the time to print tracks, sure, hardware has advantages. But if you have to work fast or you travel a lot, plugins are miraclous. And the plugins sound really good nowadays. Got some Kiive stuff already and its top notch.
