But the channel strip algorithm and the buscompressor algorithm is the same. Really, it is.

I read somewhere that a dude named chris@ssl wrote that they measured and compared them both! So either he's lying or they told you a different story. Anyway, I know too that people tell so many things...

The duende is perfect for the money you pay it. And it is very good for a DAW. But as you say, the DAW and algorythms aren't the only thing. You need good Mic Pres, good converters end good capabilities of your own too of course. Nevertheless, one day, I'll buy a duality console. I just feel the digital domain isn't ready yet to take over the analogue domain, sonically. Digital has the automation advantage, unfortunately, analogue does not.
