Best buss compressor: Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5043 versus the Steinberg plug-in

In this video I am comparing my favourite buss compressor, the Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5043 to the Steinberg plug-in that models the hardware. I show the difference on a full mix when using the compressor on the mix bus, as well as using it on a drum group and on an individual vocal track.

The full resulting tracks can also be downloaded via the following link below, so you can compare the full resolution audio in your own DAW.

NOTE: Somehow, the stereo image on the hardware drum tracks got flipped in the video. Sorry about that. Please download the files below if you want to properly compare them in your own DAW.
