Mercury costs a ton but it does have a heck of a lot of plugins. And I think some of the bundles such as the Silver bundle offer quite a lot for the money. I don't like the WUP policy but many of the plugins are fine. And from there all else folllows ( i believe). What is important is getting the correct tools for the job and helping our musiciality reach it peak during production time. Uad look a lot cheaper than waves but for us that is not important. Yes the ilok i a issue with us as well as we were hoping to share our copy between us (there are two of us). I'd take waves over any other plugin maker. but that's peanuts compared to what you get.ģdot. This is a serious company that did their homework. I'm missing C4/Q10/metaFlanger/C1/the Renaissance series. (only once in the beginning.had problems with the ilok) but you need to pay for it.īut.I've never needed to contact support in the 2 years I've used the bundle. If I had the $$ I would definitely get the Mercury.Īs for support. but I have no reason to believe that they're not as awsome as the others. (I A/B'd it with all the other amp plugs on the market)Ībout their new stuff (I sold the bundle 4 years ago.) I did not even glimpse at other stuff.(only special FSU plugs) Cytomic - The Glue is a good investment for 99 bucks and is within a whisker of the UAD 4k buss compressor in terms of authenticity but more flexible as it has more controls and a wet/dry feature very useful for parallel/NY compression. 元 is vastly overrated IMHO, I think L1 is still the best sounding limiter they have and that Voxengo's $89 Elephant limiter is vastly superior to all of them. The Waves API collection is pretty good, but I'm not as keen on bespoke producer's gear such as JJP, CLA and Maserati. Maxxbass and Renn Comp are older but 2 of my more favourite Waves tools I've used in the past. It's fewer plugins, but it's ALL quality. For the price of mercury you can get a UAD-2 quad, Empirical Labs Fatso, EMT 140 and 250 reverbs, Neve 88RS or SSL 4k, Dimension D, Cooper Time Cube, Neve 33609 buss compressor, LA-2A/LA-3A, Precision Limiter, etc. Yeah, Mixing Foundations is great, are you continuing with Next Level Mixing? Danny goes into much more detail on the mixing process, best thig I ever did, doing that course.I personally think UAD plugins are a better investment and sound if you have money to spend, although some of Waves plugins are pretty decent. if you just using the pre-amp of something but not the EQ or compressor. I just suggested using native plug-ins natively because some of the UAD plug-ins are serious DSP hogs, BTW turn ‘DSP Loadlock’ off in the UA Control Panel and this will save DSP on modules you are not using e.g. Good point, if you need to reduce CPU load then using the UAD versions of native will be your friend.
the 3 are not cheap and it should be the occasion to take expensive versions and wait other sales for the other plugins which costs less Instead of taking the VSM-3 I should maybe take the Neve 1073 or 1081 (I only have a Neve EQ on Slate that’s it) or the API 2500. So, I should now and in the future buy everything, even if I have the same on Waves, because I know that the way it works, it’s not the same. It has been only 1 week I’ve bought my UAD stuff and tested the plugins, to resume I’m a big fan because I hear the sound like it was a real hardware and this makes the difference. 3 weeks before I still was putting some reverb on the insert hahaha, but now never again. In fact, 3 weeks ago I was a big noob on everything touching mixing and mastering, I just learned during 3 complete weeks the mixing foundations and advanced. I have Verbsuite but to be honest I still didn’t use it but I’m sure I’ll soon. I’m looking for having the Altiverb, but I’m interested about the AKG (which I’m going to test soon) and the Dimension D.
Interesting, I would tend to put forward my DSP which is an octo with a maximum of plugins and tending to save my CPU which I dramatically need during the production process (playing live, all the midi instruments live, buffer size etc.).
