A friend of mine let me borrow his original DBX 160 (vu) to A/B test it against the UAD-2 plugin version.

I've used three samples, in mono, that I've recorded myself; guitar, bass and drums.

Equipment used is Fireface 800 with Cubase 4.5.2 and UAD-2 Quad and of course the DBX 160.

There's the digital and analog DBX sample with included screenshot of the settings used. I've volume checked them by phase-reversing. They're in 24-bit mono wavefiles.

I've set the DBX to pretty extreme settings so that you really can hear it working hard.

Let me know what you think. And PLEASE let me know if I've done anything wrong that would lead the test unfair.
