i think there is something to be said for suites like Ozone, where the tools are designed specifically to work together. L3 and up sound shitty in comparison, not sure what they decided to switch up there. L3 for quality limiting when my cpu can afford it. I prefer it to the waves one, waves one feels like it takes away a little more that just the harsh s sounds, Sorry if that was a bit besides the point. Hmm personally I've noticed I can push the L3 the same amount without pumping but with a more clear sound. H-Delay is my go-to delay. [–]TheSensualGrape 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children). The 76 is killer for extreme parallel drum compression, though. I use them as peak limiters on almost everything, [–]Iplaymusicforfun 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children), rcomp, rchannel, rverb for a light cpu reverb condifence booster, renaxxe sounds great on guitars, basically the whole ren series is worth every penny, get it on sale though, not much else I would consider purchasing from them but I've heard great things about the SSL series. Aphex aural exciter. It's hard to imagine going back to REQ now. Waves RVox. That thing is amazing. Also, +1 on legit.. when asked about plug ins he said he hated them all. Kramer Tape is really cool for certain things, but is more of a "specialty" plugin that i use whenever i need something to sound a little more "real" or "dirty" or "warm". To help you find the right mastering plugins quickly, we’ve provided some buttons you can use to zero in on the right match. Can't hate on L2 too hard when it comes to quick-and-dirty pseudomastering for client reference mixes, etc. I used to use FL Studio many, many years ago and they had an incredible Parametric EQ that I've sorely missed. I can't imagine having to mix with a Duo. I deploy the 560 on the master buss, to impart an extremely subtle smiley curve to the mix. Good ol’ RVox. Scheps 73 is a 3-band EQ that adds a healthy helping of color to any audio pumped through it. how do you feel about Ozone? I just upgraded to Mercury but I'm already liking the API stuff. So many good ones for vocals. APIs are awesome. All of them. Those of you with Waves, what are your "go-to" plugins? Those of you with Waves, what are your "go-to" plugins? Awesome. and then he said with the exception of the waves deesser, that thing is just gorgeous. It does the trick though, no complaints. Also the Puigchild compressor can be cool for things to beef up/dirty up things like VST organs. nothing wrong with those plugins. Today I wanna talk about this beautiful zero latency master buss compressor from Waves. I actually managed to max out the quad with about 8 plugins the other day. [–]gettheboomProfessional 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (2 children), [–]scottydanger22 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (1 child), Thanks! NLS-Channel and NLS-Buss. The thing where it gives you a big spike of GR when you adjust the release time is annoying. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy. C6, H-Delay, and the Renaissance series plugs (Comp, EQ, and RVox) are my favorite. RVox is also really good for when I need to make a vocal sound more "up front" ..usually using it very lightly. [–]Rhystic1Professional 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago* (6 children). And the good news is that this compressor is included in one of Waves' few truly affordable bundles (Waves Musicians II), which suits its ease of use. [–]m_jakopa 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children). Compression I love the CLA 2A if you dont already have a 2A style compressor (add the CLA 76 to get the quick transients to the 2A which is known to be a slower compressor and you have a very popular compression chain). CLA-3A Yeah that sounds pretty close, i'll have to check it out myself. L2 is actually great for shaving transients off of jangly acoustic guitar - if you are conservative, it can be remarkably transparent compared to compression or leveling. on the other hand, you can end up with this temptation to deploy every little widget whether you need it or not. [–]fuzeebear 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children). Other than that, I only use the analog modeling ones: API 550/560 on pretty much everything. Even the 560 has a weird feel to it, I find it awkward to use, especially trying to make small adjustments. This unit provides you with the ability to compress your mids and sides independent of one another when you deactivate “Channel Link,” and engage “M/S” mode. It essentially only has 30 possible settings (3 types, 1 knob ranging from 0-10) but it does not matter what you put it on, one of those 30 settings will make it sound better or more pleasing. I do like the dedicated hi-/lo-pass filters though. Wave caps can be used in various ways to assist your progress. Concurrent with The 2019 NAMM Show I had a "My Name is Earl" style list of all of the software I have stolen over the years. [–]DJSub 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children). I've never used a hardware 1176 so I'm not sure. Anyone have an experience with the Debreather and the new Sibilance deesser? [–]killerhatz55[S] 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (4 children). I also love the way it graphically presents what its doing. Have to be conservative with it though, [–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (8 children). I love the Scheps omni channel for some saturation too if you dont have any dedicated preamp/saturation plug ins. The Warm setting is awesome for bass guitar and drums. So if you need an EQ, just click on the “EQ” button. IDK, maybe the original did that. It's a very dirty compressor, definitely noticeable but used on the drums can make them sound huge. Do you have anything you specifically want to achieve with the vocals? The Q eq for sweeps and cuts. I love that thing so much. This means that you can be up and running right away on your studio setup with the minimum of waiting around. Waves Plugins #1 - CLA Classic Compressors This 3 compressor plugin bundle is an instant classic. I mix with my ears, but goddamn if that plugin isn't hella helpful when I really need to know what's going on in a nitty-gritty way. PAZ freq analyzer [–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children). Like the original, this is a VCA design. Psychologically harder but musically easier. Here’s a roundup of my most used compressor plugins as well as some unique features of each. [–]guitarguru333 3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (0 children). The Makita MAC 2400 is a huge favorite with professionals and do-it-yourself enthusiasts and this is why it was included in our air compressor reviews. My least used plugin of any company is V-Comp. I'd like to spend more on the plugins I want as opposed to more on a card that can run hundreds of the stock bundle. 7.NLS(there are divided comments on this one,but this is the best plugins from Waves imho,Spike-has lovely mids,Mike-fat lows,Nevo-is great overall,my fav)a second insert after a trim plugin in my channel:) 8.SSL G-Channel(for synths,pianos etc.) [–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children). Most obvious is the wet/dry mix control, enabling regular or parallel-style compression. Seriously. As I cover in-depth in my new online course (Mastering In The Box), compression is a great tool for any mastering engineer. :) (http://www.uaudio.com/support/uad/compatibility/instance-chart.html).
