One of the weak spots with the mpressor is in fact the metering. The Elysyans can't be blamed of course as it was mainly meant for production rather than post-production. The metering in the plug is exactly the same.
I like both the hardware and the software versions. Thy are practically identical. Where I do (subjectively) hear a difference is in the Gain control but I guess the main difference overall is that the analogue is actually made up of physical part and as such is a tad "grittier" (I am exaggerating here) , making it slightly more muscular while the plug is cleaner. These differences are extremely subtle. My harware mpressor is part of an analogue chain and therefore has its place between other units in the chain, plus there is the hands on, phisical feedback. The plug emulation is veeery good. Well done guys!
Anybody heard or used the museq for mastering yet?
