A friend is going to be down for a while and brought his URS and Waves
plugins over for me to demo. I Ghosted my OS and loaded them up.

though they sound a bit different from each other, it's amazing how good
they sound in their own right. IMO, the UAD stuff still has a bit of an edge
over native, but it's totally subjective at this point. I'm very impressed
by the Waves SSL bundle but it's still a bit "2D" compared to the UAD-1
processors (again IMO). I wonder how it measures up to their Duende system.

Some of the tools we have nowadays are truly amazing. If I was still running
Paris, I'd have it loaded on XP and I'd have the URS and Waves plugins and
wouldn't even be trying to deal with the latency issues and workarounds
associated with using UAD-1 cards. The Waves stuff is close enough to "a
reality" as far as emulating hardware these days that I personally wouldn't
feel like I was missing much.

That's what I've been saying. The My URS's and SSL along with Sonalkis, does
it for me without having to purchase the UADs.
However, those who have both the UAD and the URS, say that the UADs plugs
are still the best.

Ii wonder how does the new Waves Vinatge series (API,NEVE,)http://www.waves.com/Content.aspx?id=1680
fair against the UAD plugins.

Those new waves plugs look wicked, and I hear that they sound great was well.

Lastly, the Waves SSL plugins sounds and work great with Paris.
But, I hear that the Duende version of the plugs sound beter, BUT, Duende
has some driver issues..

**Don't count out the Focusrite Liquid Mix. Their emulations are nice as
well..

Don't forget that the original Neve hardware is actually better sounding
than the SSL hardware. No matter how good the emulation, SSL is not Neve...

You are right.. But, for some reason, the SSL E series eq is great on Hip
Hop drums, really Crunchy. And, the Buss compressor(Quad Comp) is really
unique at what it does.

I still haven't spent too much time with the LM stuff (we're mostly in endless
tracking not mixing mode right now) but from what I've seen it is right up
there with the UAD cards. I don't have the Neve plugs for UAD and have long
refused to use Waves stuff (the CP is so onerous), but I'm damned impressed.

"Crunchy" really does describe the Waves SSL comp. I've never used the
hardware so I don't have a pint of reference, but yeah........crunchy nails
it.
