"I think we sometimes get too hung up on "emulation" when we should just be focusing on whether the plugin sounds good in our music....."

Well said.

Counterpoint: we can stop doing that the second companies stop claiming their plugins are perfect emulations of said gear and stop making them look like the hardware.

Otherwise, they're inviting people to get hung up on how accurate something is.

The purpose of an emulation is to have a plugin version of the original hardware. That's why you're buying it, and you ought to expect to get what you paid for.

If you don't care about it being an emulation, then you're probably not buying it in the first place.

Api 2500 is my single most favorite compressor of all time so im a bit jazzed about this one...
Ofc the pricing is very steep, which means I will never ever be able to afford it but still, cant say Im not curious about it..

Try DMG Trackcomp. Best API 2500 emulation available.

but it lacks vintage graphics, it can't sound close
