People can believe this or not but so many have said the same thing about waves plug-ins, and my own findings have backed it up many times, that if you use many waves plugs all over a mix, your mix will probably suffer as the harshness and plastic/digital sound of them builds up. It's not that the gear they emulated is 'outdated' just that they were never the greatest coded plugs in the first place, and have been outclassed by better coders many times over since their hey-day! Waves emus 'sound' completely generic to me, and in worst case, damaging to audio. I agree waves only have good plugs with their utility plugs, they make some useful stuff. It's just so simple and reliableĬlick to expand.Nebula, softube, some slate, uad yeah these are better than waves emulations. Alternative: Little Microshift from Soundtoys.
Can be really psychedelic like a tape delay if automated right.ĪBBEY ROAD Plates: Uhhh boy these sound good, but need a lot of CPUĭoubler: Just awesome for spreading a snare or Vocal across the Image by doubling, pitchshifting and panning and all in a simple interface. It just sounds good and you can use it to create a Haas Effect easily to widen a track. LoAir: Awesome for adding real deep sub harmonics. RBASS: my goto tool for thicken up basses or the Drumbus Low Cut at 80, Boost 220, Check 700 Hz or above, cut or boost, add or remove some 12 kHz. The MEQ5 is nice on Vocals and for shaping snares. PuigTec Bundle: The EQP1A is great for Basses, Vocals, Kicks and on the Master Bus Most people think it's too aggressive and harsh. There's really no good clean EQ from waves… but as far as Virtual Analog is concerned, I like L1: Great simple Limiter for taming peaks on heavy processed Snares or piercing Hihats Also nice for introducing distortion to basses by reducing the release time. For 1176 = TR Black 76 all day!ĪPI 2500: A versatile Comp for Busses and Master.ĭPR-402: Killer on Drums.
It helps me a lot in placing basses and synths in the Mix. But the following I really like and some of them are pretty unique and useful.ĮDIT: Oh Top 10 only… okay… I need 13, sorry )ĬLA-2A: I actually prefer this over TR-White and N.I. For the Rest I'd stick to other Verndors. Unfortunately, there are some really good plugins from Waves.
