UAD plugins --

The Neves, the Helios, the Pultec Pro, the Nigel... Are they all that? Will I hate myself after hit "confirm your order"? Seriously, are these "must haves" for serious work?

Thanks all...

I work with all of them, TC, Focusrite, Waves and UAD and I say UAD is the best for me, for examp. "compressor" of Focusrite is not the same as 1176 from UAD or 88RS,
EQ of TC is not the same as 1081 of UAD - it depends on your needs and your ears.
Try Duende - it's good.

cheers

The thing is... all plug-in compressors "compress"...

But it's what the UAD compressors musically do to the sound as it's compressing that sets them above the rest.

Same with their EQ's, especially the Pultec and Neves...

Duende is indeed excellent as well. VERY musical sounding plug-ins. Their early drivers were a mess for me, so I had to return the unit I had, but it certainly wasn't because of it's sound... I hated letting go of that. But I understand they got their Mac drivers working good now.

Quite simply, you would have to pry my UAD plugs out of my cold, dead hands.

That must make it tough to play the piano... ( ! )
