Budget
While the price of a digital plugin may be considerably smaller to distribute, you will still have to fork out a fair chunk of change to purchase the top end products.
The benefit of course is that many of these digital plugins are available right away with convenient download options.
Uses
Like many other plugins on the market, you will find that when it comes to compressors, there is a host of specialist products.
Whilst some studios will have one or several compressors for the final mixing process, it is common for a lot of instrumental equipment to have their own specific compressors built in.
For example, the majority of professional level bass amps have a built in compressor. This built in compressor will be custom designed to work with the natural EQ and output of the amp in question.
