WES Audio ngBusComp

I was really hesitating on this gear, as it was my second hardware thing to my studio, and really expensive to me, but never regretted my decision on this. The sound is really high quality, compression is very soft, creamy or aggressive if needed, it can work hard on your drum bus, or gentle on your master bus. Transformer is adding weight to the sound and the mid-side option really opens up the stereo field of a mix in a way that no plugin does!. And the software integration is just the cherry on the top of the cake. You cannot go wrong with this unit. You will have the convenience of the plugin and yet you are not dependant on your system compatibility over time as this is still a proper analog unit.
The only small downside are little bit wobbly knobs and buttons in the unit that fill a little cheap, but that is the only minus of this amazing unit.
