I tried to set the gains as close as possible by ear (after a long day in the studio.) This is not a scientific test by any means. I got the year special from Slate Digital just for their new reverb and I completely forgot I had access to this baby. Slate Digital FG-N: I didn't even remembered I had this plugin. Sonimus Burnley 73: the less expensive tool in this test. Those drums you hear (me, playing terribly after 9 months away from the drum kit) were tracked through Universal Audio's Unison pre-amps with this exact emulation. UAD Neve 1073: this was my all-time favourite.

Of course, compressor was not inserted in the chain. Several different EQ emulations, two compressors, many different pre-amp sections (for saturation). Acustica Audio Gold: a MONSTER of a plugin. The contenders that I have access too are listed below, and I only have a clean winner for the non-EQ version of the files. Writing this post from my wife's computer (because coffee and Apple keyboards don't mix really well) I'm thinking how far the digital emulations have come.

Click on the post's title or on Read More to get the files. Which one is the best Neve emulation plugin out there? I have no idea and I want you all to figure out on your own.
