Plugins plugins...

sei046

I am a bit of a plugins whore. I love the yokes, Thats where most of my cash goes when it should really be on hardware! Anyway, I keep building them up but always feel that im never really getting to grips with them fully. So for the next album im going to restrict myself to my waves. This will FORCE me to get the BEST results out of them plugins, then after that I will move on to URS or something.

Anyone else find they are spoilt for choice in the digital domain?

i wish i could afford to be spoilt for choice :eek:

the good ones certainly aint cheap these days.

Echoboy's the bucko ....

I agree with the 'too many' idea though, my Abbey Road man reckons if he had the URS Pro chan (I think it's called), Echoboy and TL Space he'd be grand.

I try not to buy any new plugins until I've properly learned the ones I have.

Up the quality of you D2A and clocking and your plugins sound better...

I love the URS stuff, did you get yer paws on the SSL listen mic compressor? It's free apparently!

URS Neve, API and Saturation.
Awesome.
I've got CSPro, but I haven't been disciplined enough in getting to know it - it's too easy to grab the N and A series EQs - I know what they do.
Soundtoys is just magic.
Every musician I show Crystalizer to just flips out.

The URS is good I agree. (I've used the strip channel a bit and I like it)
However I think still the the waves SSL 4000 Channel sounds far better and is as close to the real thing as i've heard to date.

Any thoughts?

The fundamental problem with 'waves' is the 'update plan' bollix. I am still on v5.9 because I refuse to update ...

You read my mind about a2d. I still havent plugged in my logic rig with all the work i have on at the minute on my cubase rig but when I do i want to get a new interface. Posshibly RME.

I use URS comps and EQs ALL THE TIME!
But im actually really buzzing off the waves REQs for fixing problems.

For 200 euros you get an update of presets.

Well why would anyone pay for that? What's the advantage in upgrading at all?
