Logic Pro X Stock Compressors vs Paid

The Logic Pro X compressor emulations are a fantastic addition to an already fully featured DAW, but how do they compare to their paid counterparts?

In this video I put all the emualations to the test against plugins from Waves, Focusrite and Slate Digital to hear how they really stack up against plugins you would have to part with money to own. I compare:

Studio VCA - Focusrite Red 3
Studio FET - Slate Digital FG-116
Classic VCA - Waves DBX-160
Vintage VCA - Slate Digital FG-Grey
Vintage FET - Waves CLA76
Vintage Opto - Slate Digital FG-2A

The stock compressors did an UNBELIEVABLE job, and in some cases were preferable to their paid counterparts. Armed with just the stock compressor and its emulations, I don't think there's any mix you can't tackle, or any compression task you can't handle.

0:54 - Listen to all compressors
6:40 - Studio VCA - Focusrite Red 3
10:52 - Studio FET - Slate Digital FG-116
15:38 - Classic VCA - Waves DBX-160
19:31 - Vintage VCA - Slate Digital FG-Grey
25:56 - Vintage FET - Waves CLA76
31:38 - Vintage Opto - Slate Digital FG-2A
