I was referring to the Alesis 3630. I stand by my first statement.

ok. End of the day €384 is a lot to spend on a plug in.
For anyone else reading this thread who isn't as sick about hearing the analogue/digital debate as the now suprisingly serious Pubstep tnuc and also gives a fuck in the first place like I do- Digital compression can model and reproduce the colour of tasty expensive compressors but not (in a lot of peoples opinion) the actual behaviour as they use 'look up tables' to mathematically determine how the dynamics are changed instead of the breathing,pumping and squeezing circuits that goes on in an actual analogue compressor. Of which the Alesis is only €99 it also does limiting. I rate it better than Vintage Warmer, Abletons Compressors, Yamaha Digital desk Compressors (01V) , Digital fishphones, Voxengo Crunchestor and the Bomb factory SC-226, which are the only digital compressors i use regularly enough to be sure
I used to disagree with this point of view, not now.

£80 for a hardware compressor.
It would be cheaper to just buy the case housing from a more respected/expensive analogue compressor as then you could still tell all your friends you have hardware and post pictures of your studio setup on forums. The other advantage over the alesis would be that you can't use it. Win/Win imo.

A bit jaded are we? Do you assume thats why some people buy hardware to pose with it on forums? Get an £80 Alesis, stick on it on your Drumbuss, forget all that mental noise and listen to what it can do. My 2c
